I am using the Essentials plugin for my Craftbukkit server. In the config.yml
file, under the prevent
tag, I set creeper
to true
in order to prevent Creepers from spawning:
# General physics/behavior modifications
prevent:
lava-flow: false
water-flow: false
...
villager-death: false
# Monsters won't follow players
# permission essentials.protect.entitytarget.bypass disables this
entitytarget: false
# Prevent the spawning of creatures
spawn:
creeper: true
skeleton: false
...
villager: false
However, this does not seem to work, as Creepers are still spawning in my world… Any ideas why?

It turns out I had the Mobs plugin installed, and even though I wasn't doing anything with it (vanilla mobs were spawning), it seems to have overrided those settings the Essentials
config.yml
.I fixed it by removing
Mobs.jar
from theplugins
directory, reload plugins, then/killall
Creepers.I still plan on using Mobs, but the educational value here is that apparently you can't mix and match Essential's
config.yml
spawn settings and Mobs.
