[INACTIVE] RegrowingSheepcoat v1.1.5 - Shorn sheep regain their wool after a while/Sheepfarm [1576]

RegrowingSheepcoat - Shorn sheep regains their wool after a while. Great for a sheepfarm
Version: v1.1.5

Normally, shorn sheep doesn't regain their wool.
In Minecraft 1.8.1, animals doesn't despawn anymore.
The result of this: after a while there are a lot of shorn sheep on the streets, which have to be killed. But really, this is barbarous!

With this plugin, shorn sheep regains their wool after 30 minutes.
So it is possbile to create useful sheep farms.

Of course, the fur color of a coloured sheep will remain the same.

Additional info:
For the big minecraft server and community ultimine.net I added the functionality of this plugin to the main workflow plugin. Because this could be really useful for other server admins, I decided to split this function to an own plugin and distribute it here.

Important:
In the new release of Minecraft 1.0.1, jeb added the feature of wool regrowth to sheep.
This means, you don't need this plugin anymore for having non naked sheeps.
But you can use this plugin without problems in the new version of Minecraft.

• If a sheep is currently in a not loaded chunk, it will stay in cache and marked red in the list.
• Permission support for Permissions 3.1.x and PermissionsEX
• Multilanguage support with two language packs by default. Other language packs can be added easily.
• Configuration file

Commands:
/ssheep - Lists all shorn sheep currently in the cache
/ssheep <Playername> - Lists all shorn sheep of a player currently in the cache

/ssheep regrow - Regrows the fleece of all sheep shorn by the player currently in the cache.
/ssheep regrow <Playername> - Regrows the fleece of all sheep shorn by the given player currently in the cache.
/ssheep regrow all - Regrows the fleece of all shorn sheep currently in the cache.

/rs changelanguage <de|en> - Changes the current used language to the given language pack
/rs reload - Reloads the configuration file


Requirements:
This plugin uses the new configuration API, so it requires the bukkit build 1337 or higher to work.
It has been successfully tested with Bukkit build 1576 and PermissionsEx 1.16


Permissions:
regrowingsheepcoat.shearedsheep - Allows to show the cache of shorn sheep
regrowingsheepcoat.shearedsheep.others - Allows to show a filtered view of the cache
regrowingsheepcoat.regrow.own - Allows to let the fleece of the own sheep regrow manually
regrowingsheepcoat.regrow.others - Allows to let the fleece of the sheep shorn by a specific player regrow manually
regrowingsheepcoat.regrow.all - Allows to let the fleece of all shorn sheep in the cache regrow
regrowingsheepcoat.admin - Used to change language or reload the configuration file


Important information:

The cache, red marked sheep and unloaded chunks:
The plugin holds all shorn sheep in a cache, to hold persistent mapping between player, time and sheep. If a sheep is in a unloaded chunk, it cannot be find by the plugin. In this case, it can't regain wool and will be marked red in the cache list. Sheep in unloaded chunks will be hold as long in the cache, as they have to be.


Multilingual support:
This plugin has a multilingual support. On first start, the language files de.yml and en.yml will be generated for German and English language. Additional languages can easily be added to the language folder.
The language can easily be changed by a command.

wait, did Notch remove the regrowth in some version?

 

He did it was in 1.6 I think, All I know is that he did.

 

Exactly what we needed. Thanks.

 

That explains all the sheared sheep on my server!

 

Hi,

sorry, the plugin is not working at the moment correctly, because it ignores sheeps in not loaded chunks whoose fur cannot regrow.
The last two days I worked on a major bugfix release and solved this problem.

I will release this version this evening (ca. 21:00 GMT+1), stay tuned.

 

Your download is a zip file containing class files and all files needed for the jar, but it is not a jar. Could you pack it as a jar to make it easier to install? TY. Looking forward to using the plugin.

 

It was a .zip-File, containing a .jar-File.
But with the release of a better working version, I changed the download link, know you only download a .jar-File.
_____________
Have fun with the new Version.
I'm happy to hear problems and bugs.

 

I know this isn't your top priority right now, but can I make some suggestions about language?

"Sheared" is OK in the US, but it sounds really odd to an Australian and no doubt British speakers. For us once you shear a sheep, it's "shorn". So maybe you need an en-uk.yml as well.

The command /shearedsheep is a bit long to type as well - maybe /ssheep or /sheepsh would be better? Not hugely important as it can always be aliased.

Another thing that sounds a bit strange is "fur". Sheep only have "wool" or "fleece", never fur.

I wonder if you really need to use the word "player" before each player name. I'm a big fan of using simple direct language but maybe the value in this case is to give translators a context.

Here are my suggested changes to the language packs (changed versions attached):

en-US.yml (the default I suppose)
{commands.shearedsheeplist: There are % sheared sheep in the cache., log.shearedsheeplist: Player % called the list of sheared sheep.,
log.shearedsheeplist.other: Player %1 called the list of sheared sheep sheared by player %2.,

I'm happy to check your English in future if you need me to.

Thanks for this plugin, by the way. It makes no sense that this isn't in the game!

 

Thanks a lot for this plugin, I've got it on my server and it's working like a charm

 

Is it possible to disable the messages? This plugin could be useful but the messages make it a bit odd.

 

I was wondering about the same things, I'm guessing this could easily be set up using some kind of Permissions-addon, or just editable through a configuration-file?

 

Thanks for your suggestions.
I just released a new version!
_____________

@Seán Ó Séaghdha: Thanks a lot for your corrections.
I looked up in a dictionary and it's right: Of course shorn is the right word.
But I don't see any reason to use two english language packs, because "sheared" in this case makes also no sense in american english.
I changed the default english language pack to your corrected version.

The Command for looking up the shorn sheep has been changed to /ssheep
____________________

From now on, the plugin has a config file.

The chosen language is persistent now and - like NeonJ and fiskh suggested - the notifications (Fleece is regrown / Sheep died / You killed a sheep of...) can be enabled or disabled in the config file.
Because I forgot a "reload" function at the moment, you should edit the config file when the server is stopped, otherwise, it would have been overwritten on reload with the current settings.


Have fun with the new release!

 

I use 1.1.0. the pluggin doesnt seem to load and I get this when I use /ssheep form the console:

Ouh, sorry. I didn't get this Bugs in my tests.
It was caused by the changes to version 1.1.0, so that a NullPointerException occured if the Player of a shorn sheep isn't online.
It should be fixed now in the Version 1.1.1

 

I still have this error with 1.1.1

Because I use the new configuration API in the plugin, it requires bukkit build 1337 to work.
I added this advice to the main thread.

I also released version 1.1.2 with another bug fixes and improvements.

 

@Fensterbank thanks for this plugin, now that friendly mobs are persistent this is a must have. and thank you for keeping it updated we all appreciate it

 

Good mod, and now with the latest update, its even great!

 

Could you implement a setting to modify the time it takes to regrow the wool of a sheep?

 

I have the same request

 

Yes, I implemented it.
Version 1.1.3 is released.

 

I haven't been able to get the timer in the config to work. I tried various numbers, then I have tried (using bukkit #1337) to set your config timer so that it should be 1min for sheep to regrow, still takes a long time - not sure how long, I wasn't really watching, probably still 30mins. It was a very long time anyway.
Setting in config was :
minutestowoolregrow: 1
A good mod though - I always thought sheep were meant to regrow their wool after eating grass. I've never seen this happen, except in the Aether - works up there. I would like to reduce the time a little if possible though please.
[Edit]
Just timed it, and it is taking 30mins for sheep to be 're-wooled' - even with the above setting in the config. Hopefully you'll be able to assist please .........

 

Hi,
thanks for you reply. I will look for the problem this evening (UTC +1).

Okay, sorry, my fault. I fixed it.

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

 

Excellent - just tested (Bukkit #1337) - your config timer is now working perfectly. My thanks for fixing it.
Interestingly, your re-fleecing of the sheep has an advantage over the Aether's way, if you de-fleece an Aether sheep of any colour, it'll always regrow a white coat, whereas yours maintain their original colour and re-grow exactly the same. Great mod ....... many thanks ... and now saves me having to go around needlessly slaughtering innocent sheep.
I'm using TieDyeSheep and your mod works great with it - giving me re-coated multi-coloured sheep.

 

Thanks for the plugin. It's working great so far. I'm running 1.1.4 on CB #25 1.9 pre5. It took a little bit of legwork to 'take care of' all the existing naked sheep, but all the new sheep are regrowing wool perfectly.

*EDIT*

No longer working on CB #30 1.9 pre5. It throws the following NPE on startup:

Tanks for that plugin!

I think the addition of a permission node that restrict the wool regrow could be a nice idea! If someone have the permission (regrowingsheepcoat.allowregrow for example) the sheep is added to cache, otherwise it remain a normal sheep that isn't monitored by tyour plugin.

By the way it run without any problems on 1.0.0 with the last CB (1522)

 

Why would you need permission for a sheep to regrow its wool? Do you need permissions for plants to grow? Do you need permissions for the sun to rise?

Surely this plugin is just fixing something that is missing from MC. It's about fixing sheep, not giving special abilities. Why complicate it?

 

For me it isn't. It tries to save the default settings on startup / reload.
Workaround is to set the file write-protected, however I get now the error on startup that it can't save the file
