About NoAnimalSpawns (World's First Working Anti-Spawn Plugin)
From SpigotMCCancels the spawn events for animals to remove natural spawning.
NoAnimalSpawns
If you run a Factions/Skyblock/Survival server and you don't want animals to spawn naturally, you've probably already used settings such as /gamerule doMobSpawning false. That works, but it only prevents monsters from spawning naturally. This plugin is a lightweight solution to blocking all other animals from spawning naturally, so you wont have an excess of unwanted entities in your world. Mobs spawned from spawners, spawn eggs, plugins, etc will not be affected.
Commands
- /nas - General plugin info
Must be running Spigot/Paper for versions 1.8 and up. The download is a zip, use the jar for the server version you are running.
Notes
- If you currently have other settings in place to block mob spawns (such as with another plugin or in Multiverse for example) you must revert them to the default, as it may cause conflictions.
- This is NOT a replacement to the /gamerule doMobSpawning false function. You must still have this function set to false in order to prevent monsters from spawning as well.
- WorldGuard is ok/compatible.
