    How do i populate my server (pregenerated map to save money, created ~7 months ago)
    with horses?
    Any body knows tools to regenerate parts of the map, excluding player built cites/stuff?

    Or should i wait until a working 1.6.x map editor is out and remove the world around the player structures?

    Would be cool to see some plugins regenerating the world to update it (refill dungeon chest, fortress, etc.)



    Answering:
    Why don't just generate new chunks:
    No i can't just generate new chunks. The horses will never get to the middle of the map w/o some good cowboys ;). That was never the question.

    Just start a new map:
    NOPE. That was never the question, too.

    Well, I don't know about you but if horses become like pigs and chicken they will spawn.
    There is also plugins to spawn them. The commandbook version I have on my server lets me spawn white horse, haven't checked if there was a command to spawn another kind.

    i think animals are persistent and there is no more respawn after they got wiped out by hungry players?
    Was a big problem after mojang implemented this feature months ago. I had to search animals in new chunks and carefully get them in my own stables :p

    harakiwi every time I start my own server, I see new animals spawn. Might be something multiverse does.

    Mobs - including horses and other animals, will spawn in existing chunks based on a random, low, chance.

    Multiverse wouldn't cause mobs to not spawn in a world unless you disable mob/animal spawning in the configuration for Multiverse.

    I have the same issue. My map was generated ~2 months ago and I've never saw a single horse in any of the plains of the map. I'm thinking to reset the map with the same seed in 1.6 and export my players buildings. Although I'm not sure how to do it. I have two ways in mind; one is with world edit, piece by piece, and the other is doing some trick with my coreprotect database (I don't know yet how to do this exactly (the core protect thing)).

    Constantine32 I can assure you mobs spawn including horses. If there is too much existing mobs it might limit spawning new mobs. But most-likely you have a plugin preventing mob spawning.

    ZachBora My plugins are [CoreProtect, PEx, PreciousStones, RandomSpawn, RateOfXray, WorldBorder and WorldEdit]. I will try to kill some peaceful mobs manually, maybe this will work. By the way, there is any plugin to kill peaceful mobs of a zone? Not all the mobs in the world because some users have animals on their bases.

    But also the lack of 'Name Tags' and 'Horse Armors' in the dungeon chests it's a problem.

    Constantine32 There is a plugin that creates crafting recipe for tags and horse armors. The WorldEdit command butcher has a radius parameter.

    That plugin might be very useful. Don't like the idea of manually re-stock dungeon loot chests ;)

    ZachBora I think the /butcher command from worledit only kills hostile mobs :(

    MCedit did the trick :D
    marked the player buildings (plus a few chunks around) and pruned the whole map
    know running a worldborder fill to refill the map and dynmap-fullrendering a few days ;)

    Will report again if i see the first spawned horses

    EDIT:
    couldn't login the forum because it wants my curse credentials :confused:)

    Horses spawn on the new map parts
