Inactive [MECH] NoFarm v0.3.5 - No more mob farms; Mobs drop items only when killed by player [CB 1.2 R0]

NoFarm - No more mob farms. Mobs killed by players only drop items:
Version: v0.3.0

Bukkit Dev Page: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nofarm/

Damage done by things like Cacti, Lava and suffocation do not yield drops from the mobs. Prevents players from building mob farms by only allowing items to drop from those killed by players themselves.

Version 0.1

• Initial Release

 

Once the arrow thing has been fixed I'll instantly add this plugin to my server, so tired of people going to bed RL but let their character stand infront of a mobtrap to get items.

 

Didn't the original version of this plugin allow for arrows to drop loot? I could have sworn it was just removed because people didn't want mobs to drop loot if skeletons killed other mobs. Can you just revert it back to how it worked then?

 

This sounds like a good workaround for the time being, especially as skeletons have to kill creepers for cd drops. And making farms out of dispensers isn't an infinite thing, you'll have to refill it constantly which is a lot more acceptable than pure free in my opinion.

 

Looking forward to seeing this feature added. It would be a brilliant addition to the plugin. It's still running on our server after some time, as the benefits of NoFarm without recognising arrows far outweighs not having it at all. We started with a fresh map and fresh economy though (now several months old and still relatively stable) so perhaps that's easier than introducing this plugin to a server where players have been afk farming for weeks and would get shirty if their fifty double chests of arrows was suddenly redundant!?

Anyways, keep up the good work Jadedwolf, (and props to the original author too for the concept).

 

Was there anyone updating this?

 

This plugin is in DESPERATE need of an update. Is anyone even working on this?

 

Is this plugin still woring or is it abonded?

 

@Jadedwolf
Release source code please if you will not work anymore on it.

 

@Mercury
I have already stated any plugin dev who would like to work on this just has to message me.

EDIT: I'm actually using this plugin right now on my server with build CB 1550 If anyone wanted to know if it still worked.

 

Yeah thanks. Seems it's normal again now with 1550.

When mob dies by lava/fire, does it drop exp points?

 

No, even without my plugin a player has to kill the entity for it to drop XP.

Thank you

 

No problem.

 

hmmmmmm When I install this for some reason it breaks PermissionsEX 1.6 and then of course everything breaks. - bukkit #1562

 

I'm using PEX v1.6 and nofarm3.0
There shouldn't be any conflicts with any plugins to be honest, because my plugin doesn't hook into anything nor uses permissions. My plugin is seriously under 100 lines of code and is self confined. Are you sure you didn't update anything else when adding no farm?

 

next server reboot I will throw it back in and paste in what errors I get... sorry I should have done this in the first place but it was late last night and I just wanted to get to bed lol

Wow honestly I must have ghosts in my server. Now it's not throwing the error at all! I updated to bukkit 1565 and tried it again and no errors! wtf..... I swear last night this was the only plugin I put in and I got 100000 errors...

Strange.... Anyways - got it installed and it is working great! the main reason why I wanted this was because my members also wanted CreatureBox.... this will be the perfect plugin to go with creaturebox to stop super mass auto farms.

BTW just a heads up.... have you seen the next type of farming? I am pretty sure some of my users are the first to do this.... it is called XP Orb Splash Farms. A user has 2-3 mob spawners in a room with water under them flowing to one point down below. Where they land is a nether rack floor hooked to a redstone / lever up top.

The user traps a shit ton of spiders down there, pulls the lever to damage them then drops a damage splash potion on to the spiders killing them and leaving 1000000 xp orbs.

Then there is another button attached to pistons which when pressed let water flow in, collect the orbs and push them to a collector bin.

Fucking Creative as hell.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yeah, you kinda let the ball drop on my next dev of this project, which is to stop XP farms too.

 

LOL nice

 

A tip on that thing, either something that "flags" every mob spawned from one spawner, if the flagged mobs is not killed (a custom limit), stop spawning from mobspawner. Or something like the plugin "SpawnerAdjuster" have, it checks a custom radius around the mobspawner for a custom set limit, if there is etc 20 mobs within the limit, it make spawning stop from the spawner.

 

Will this stop chickens from laying eggs? Im searching for plugin that stops chicken from laying eggs, but can't find one.

 

No, sorry it won't.

 

Then maybe you could please make a feature like that (with option to disable)?

 

Will this still allow people to get powder and tears from ghasts by deflecting their fireballs back at them? It's really the most convenient way to kill them since it's an easy one-shot kill with no ammo, and it's legitimate combat, not an AI exploit or anything.

 

is this prevent exp drop too ?

 

Yes, hitting a ghast fireball into a ghast will let it drop items.
Also just updated the plugin for R5,R6 and beyond. With the new event system, etc.
Find it on bukkitdev: Bukkit Dev Page: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/nofarm/

 

great work for rid ragg

 

Can you change it so mobs get NO damage from falling, and not just no drops when they die? EXP traps make it so the mob is near death when they fall. Thx for reading. Here, free cake:
