PollinatorPlus

# 🐝 PollinatorPlus **PollinatorPlus** is a lightweight Spigot/Paper plugin that fixes natural mob behaviors being blocked by other plugins — most notably **PlotSquared**. Developed by **Baumkrieger69**. --- ## ❓ Why does this plugin exist? **PlotSquared** cancels many entity events inside and around plots to protect builds and prevent griefing. Unfortunately this also blocks completely natural and harmless mob behaviors: | Mob | Blocked Behavior | Event | |---------|----------------------------------|--------------------------| | 🐝 Bee | Entering beehive / nest | `EntityEnterBlockEvent` | | 🐝 Bee | Spawning from beehive | `CreatureSpawnEvent` | | 🐸 Frog | Laying frogspawn eggs | `EntityChangeBlockEvent` | | 🐸 Frog | Hatching from eggs | `CreatureSpawnEvent` | | 🐢 Turtle | Laying turtle eggs | `EntityChangeBlockEvent` | | 🐢 Turtle | Hatching from eggs | `CreatureSpawnEvent` | PollinatorPlus listens at `HIGHEST` priority **after** PlotSquared has cancelled these events and simply un-cancels them — so the mobs behave naturally again without compromising plot protection. --- ## ✨ Features - ✅ Fixes cancelled **Bee** hive entering (`EntityEnterBlockEvent`) - ✅ Fixes cancelled **Bee** spawning from beehives (`CreatureSpawnEvent`) - ✅ Fixes cancelled **Frog** & **Turtle** egg laying (`EntityChangeBlockEvent`) - ✅ Fixes cancelled **Frog** & **Turtle** spawning (`CreatureSpawnEvent`) - ✅ In-game config reload command - ✅ Per-event toggle in config - ✅ Debug logging mode --- ## 📋 Requirements - Spigot / Paper **1.21+** - Java **17+** - PlotSquared *(or any other plugin that cancels these events)* entity-enter-block: true | Option | Default | Description | |------------------------------|---------|------------------------------------------------| | `debug` | `false` | Enables detailed debug logging in console | | `handle-entity-change-block` | `true` | Fixes Frog/Turtle egg laying & Bee hive events | | `handle-creature-spawn` | `true` | Fixes Frog/Turtle hatching & Bee hive spawning | | `handle-entity-enter-block` | `true` | Fixes Bee entering beehive/nest | --- ## 💬 Commands | Command | Description | Permission | |---------------------|---------------------|-------------------------| | `/pollinatorplus` | Reloads the config | `pollinatorplus.reload` | --- ## 🔐 Permissions | Permission | Default | Description | |--------------------------|---------|------------------------------| | `pollinatorplus.reload` | OP | Allows reloading the config | --- ## 🔧 How it works PollinatorPlus registers all its events at `HIGHEST` priority with `ignoreCancelled = false`. This means it runs **after** PlotSquared (which uses `NORMAL` or `HIGH` priority) and can selectively un-cancel only the specific harmless natural behaviors listed above. Plot protection for players remains completely intact. ✅ --- ## 🧪 Tested Configuration This plugin was developed and tested under the following specific server setup. **Other configurations may or may not work as expected.** | Setting | Value | Where | |---|---|---| | `doMobSpawning` gamerule | `true` | Minecraft Gamerule | | Mob Spawning | `deny` | WorldGuard Region Flag | > ⚠️ **Important:** The plugin was tested with **mob spawning enabled via gamerule** > but **blocked by WorldGuard** on a per-region basis, combined with PlotSquared. > This is the exact setup it was built to fix. > Behavior under other configurations (e.g. `doMobSpawning false`, no WorldGuard, > different protection plugins) has **not been tested** and may differ. --- ## 🔧 Compatibility | Plugin / Setting | Status | |---|---| | PlotSquared | ✅ Fully compatible & designed for it | | WorldGuard (`mob-spawning deny`) | ✅ Tested & working | | WorldGuard (`mob-spawning allow`) | ⚠️ Not tested | | GriefPrevention | ⚠️ Not tested | | `doMobSpawning true` | ✅ Tested | | `doMobSpawning false` | ⚠️ Not tested — likely breaks behavior | | Any other protection plugin | ⚠️ Untested, may work |
