Spawn monsters

[SlimeDog]

Spigot 1.13 latest
BB/BSB 0.9.0-alpha1

I would like monsters to spawn. I don't see anything restriction in WorldGuard config or GriefPrevention config, or (most important) BB/BSB configs. Most likely, I'm missing the obvious, but what would prevent monster spawns? Light level at night is between 4 and 8.

[Poslovitch]

I need your BSkyBlock config.yml.

[SlimeDog]

Same as #249

[Poslovitch]

So, MONSTER_SPAWN: true. And difficulty set to hard. BentoBox should not prevent any mobs from spawning then... Do you have any ideas about what might be wrong? A plugin?

[SlimeDog]

I don't. I was hoping you would see something that I missed. :(

I seem to remember that mobs did not spawn close to the spawn point in ASkyBlock, but I don't remember that as a configured "thing." I haven't played 1.12.2 for a while, but I had a monster farm then, farther from the spawn point. The WorldGuard configurations are identical. I didn't use GriefPrevention then.

I am admin/op per LuckPerms (vanilla op is disabled by LuckPerms), but I cannot see that should make any difference. Monsters should spawn even when no player is present.

I have tested with GriefPrevention disabled; same result.

I set difficulty: HARD which should make monsters more likely to spawn, but that is a change from my old ASB configuration. So as a further test, I set difficulty: NORMAL in both BB/BSB and MV-Core. Not surprisingly, the results were the same.

[SlimeDog]

How about

REMOVE_MOBS: true

[SlimeDog]

OK. As a test of

I seem to remember that mobs did not spawn close to the spawn point in ASkyBlock, but I don't remember that as a configured "thing"

I re-enabled GriefPrevention. There was no change in the result.

I created a finger of stone from the built-up area (21x21 meters approximately centered on the spawn point) out to the edge of my island. Note that this content is not in the GP claim. While I was out there, it turned dark, and monsters spawned pretty much everywhere, both on the finger and on the island proper. When I return to the island proper, monsters do not spawn. When I move out on the finger again, monsters spawn everywhere.

I'm confused. So, what you'r saying is you have an island at 0,0 and mobs don't spawn around that point, but do further out?

[SlimeDog]

Not exactly. I am still experimenting, but what it looks like at present:

• If I am positioned within the spawn area, including some distance around it: monsters are not spawned at all
• If I am positioned outside the spawn area, at some distance I am still refining: monsters are spawned within the spawn area and elsewhere

I've got some similar reports from my server. What are your "spawn limit" or "spawn rate" settings from bukkit.yml/spigot.yml ?

[SlimeDog]

I do not find spawn rate in either file. Please advise which variables you would like to see.

bukkit.yml

spawn-limits:
  monsters: 70
  animals: 15
  water-animals: 15
  ambient: 15

This is the default content, except animals: 15 (default = 10)

spigot.yml (config-version: 11) is default except for

    entity-activation-range:
      animals: 48
      monsters: 48
      misc: 32

By "default" I mean that they were newly generated for 1.13.x, and modified only as indicated above.

Monsters won’t spawn within 24 blocks of a player. Isn’t that what is happening here?

[SlimeDog]

Doh! Yes.
