Hi, we're having problems on our server with monsters not appearing at all at night, or in the dark. Other mobs seem to be fine however. These are the plugins we're currently running: PlugMan, Lottery, RocketBoots, WorldEdit, Towny, Register, SimpleTips, Buycraft, Vault, Modifyworld, PermissionsEx, Questioner, LWC, Vote4Diamondz, Freeze, mcMMO, WorldGuard, HomeSpawnPlus, Essentials, MagicCarpet, ChatManager, ChestShop Not sure there's anything there that should interfere with monsters. This is our server.properties file. Think everything's in order there....? #Minecraft server properties #Fri Jan 04 01:16:31 GMT 2013 generator-settings= allow-nether=true level-name=world enable-query=false allow-flight=false server-port=25565 level-type=DEFAULT enable-rcon=false level-seed= server-ip= max-build-height=256 spawn-npcs=true white-list=false spawn-animals=true snooper-enabled=true hardcore=false texture-pack= online-mode=true pvp=true difficulty=3 enable-command-block=true gamemode=0 max-players=12 spawn-monsters=true view-distance=10 generate-structures=true spawn-protection=32 motd=Register @ http\://kewlmcserver.webs.com for full info\! \=) and this is our bukkit.yml. Won't pretend to really understand this, is it ok? # This is the main configuration file for Bukkit. # As you can see, there's actually not that much to configure without any plugins. # For a reference for any variable inside this file, check out the bukkit wiki at # http://wiki.bukkit.org/Bukkit.yml settings: allow-end: true warn-on-overload: true permissions-file: permissions.yml update-folder: update ping-packet-limit: 100 use-exact-login-location: false plugin-profiling: false connection-throttle: 4000 query-plugins: true deprecated-verbose: default shutdown-message: Server closed spawn-limits: monsters: 70 animals: 15 water-animals: 5 ambient: 15 chunk-gc: period-in-ticks: 600 load-threshold: 0 ticks-per: animal-spawns: 400 monster-spawns: 1 autosave: 0 auto-updater: enabled: true on-broken: - warn-console - warn-ops on-update: - warn-console - warn-ops preferred-channel: rb host: dl.bukkit.org suggest-channels: true database: username: bukkit isolation: SERIALIZABLE driver: org.sqlite.JDBC password: walrus url: jdbc:sqlite:{DIR}{NAME}.db We've also tried setting difficulty in-game to 2 and then 1, but without success. Many thanks for any help you can offer, would be very grateful for any insights as to what's going on (oh and we're looking for HelperVIPs on the server - which is a kinda Admin-Lite thing on our server) Regards, Hank. Edit: Should add I'm using git-Bukkit-1.4.6-R0.3-b2586jnks here
I resolved this in the end, turns out I'd forgotten doing /gamerule domobspawning false as a short-term favour to one of the members a few weeks ago, and like the idiot I am forgot to set it back to true *facepalm* Anyway, thanks for your help guys
