How to stop certain mobs from spawning

I am making a plugin in which horses can't spawn. I have been trying to figure out how to stop them from spawning but I just can't. So far I've gotten this far.

Code:java

public void CreatureSpawnEvent(Entity spawnee, CreatureType type, Location loc, SpawnReason spawnReason) {
 
    int eID = spawnee.getEntityId();
    if (eID == 100) {
 
        //???????????????
 
    }
}

I am really bad at this.

Thanks for any help!

 

dragon53170 Just use an EventListener, and listen for the CreatureSpawnEvent. Then cancel it if the entity is a horse.

 

dragon53170, wouldn't this be an EventHandler? Right now, that method would not even run.

 

Tecno_Wizard
He did say use an event...

 

• Listen for the CreatureSpawnEvent
• Check the mob type
• if the mob type is equal to one of the mobs you wish to deny spawning then cancel the event
• Profit???

 

Fhbgsdhkfbl, his post was not on my screen when i typed that

 

This should be work. If not, change anything in the code.

Code:java

@EventHandler
public void onCreatureSpawn(CreatureSpawnEvent e){
  if(e.getCreatureType() == CreatureType.HORSE){
      e.setCanceld(true);
  }
}

 

It says horse is not a thing

 

dragon53170, what do you mean by that? Is it a runtime error or an error thrown by eclipse? (assuming you use eclipse)

 

Thrown by eclipse it wants me to replace it with another creature

 

Maybe you can replace

Code:java

CreatureType.HORSE

with

Code:java

EntityType.HORSE

I recommence to see the Javadoc. Click here.

DusRonald Please don't spoonfeed

dragon53170 If you haven't yet learned Java, please do so from the oracle tutorials or a java book. If you already know or once you have learned Java, please read the plugin tutorial on the bukkit wiki

 

You give a good suggestion to dragon53170, but don't say what i must to (not) do..

 

DusRonald I'm not telling you want not to do, I'm merely politely asking you to help rather than spoonfeed.

 

Spoonfeed does work, and it can help to learn from it. Not always ofcourse.

AdamQpzm I know the problem of spoonfeeding, but i don't do that always. Only at the time, he has fast required.
Bytheway: My english is not very good, but you can maybe understand it.

 

DusRonald He clearly doesn't know the Bukkit API yet to giving him a solution is just covering the real problem, rather than solving anything.

 

I give not always spoonfeed for anything.

And stop it, because I'm too stubborn to admit ..
It's a waste of time.

 

You're right I don't really know anything, I know Java sort of but I am very new.
And just to clarify is this the correct API?

 

Yes it is, but a older version of Bukkit, I advise you to take the Development Build, which is 1.7.10.

This is for the development to a plugin:
Here is the download for the API: Click here.

This is for information over the API.
Here is the Javadoc from the API: Click here.

 

When I click the download link it says it can't be found

 

tl;dr xD
