Minecraft Name: AtomBlizzard Suggestion: When the Butcher plugin is about to clear mobs and entities on the ground , give an alert Reason: So that we will be informed to kill our mobs at mobgrinder or pick up our items on the ground before the butcher removes our mobs or items Any Other Information: Possibly give a 1 minute in advance alert , and /butchermessage to make it not show the alert if you dont want to see it Link To This Plugin: -
We don't need another message like this filling up chat. Even a 1 minute warning will be long forgotten by the time it happens. Why not just constantly kill mobs and don't leave items on the ground? Same result, doesn't clog up chat with any messages (even if it is toggleable).
/butchermessage will allow u to toggle the alert on and off, so u can toggle it off if u dislike it. Not many people want to constantly kill the mobs as they spawn , some people just leave part of their MC screen on the screen and watch video at youtube or surf the net at the same time so they can check when the butcher will come. Also this feature will notify you how much time you left to pick up your items you drop ( in case u died in wild ) and you will be able to run back to the spot u died, and in case your item is cleared by clear lag , you wont waste time going back to pick it up. I also dont see how this will harm the server in anyway or give it lag, its only 1 sentance in a long period of time " [Alert] Butcher in 1 minute " or something like that. So did i make my point?
At some point this was illegal, not sure anymore since I hardly ever play and hardly ever go to mob spawners. That aside, I don't see this causing too much lag or any lag at all. It would be very useful in some cases, and as long as there is a message to remove it then I don't see it causing a problem. +187
The server forgets the status of /lot messages, /sg messages all the freaking time. It seemed like I had to constantly use them. This would just be another one to have to constantly use. No thanks.
-1 I think this would just encourage afk mob spawners. I am in the camp that you should have to work (even if it is mundane) to get your $$$. This is just my opinion.
maybe we can have /butcher time to check how much time before the butcher comes? we dont neccessarily need to have the butcher to alert everyone , we just do /butcher time to see how much time left till butcher comes.
If butcher happens a lot, it could cause lag. Even though some messages do not cause lag (SG, lottery, etc), others cause a lot of lag (worldguard, regions, welcome messages, death messages, baltop, etc). I never like to assume something won't cause lag "because something similar doesn't." So, in the case that this could cause lag (even if someone had to type something to see), I am -1. As well, I agree with Emau. Everything that encourages being afk and making profit never happens. Even typing a command to see the time will still encourage being afk, because you can simply time yourself and go away from the game. So, again, I am -1. In theory it's a good suggestion that I would enjoy if it happened, but... I dunno. Encouraging AFK profit bugs me.
You could time how long it takes between butchers and then you know when one is about to happen. Let's pretend that it happens every 10 minutes. If you see one at 3:23 PM, then you know there will be one around 3:33 PM, 3:43 PM, 3:53 PM, etc..
Well here is my two cents. Butcher gets rid of items, and money, and basically cuts a tad into profit. Thus +1 for the butcher and -1 to anything that stops its effectivity. I see no reason to add a command or an alert that tells you when to kill everything. This encourages AFK mob grinding and it encourages laziness. Personally, I don't think we need either. And thats my thought.
+1 This would be good if the alert was changed to 5-10 seconds. This would allow enough time to pick up any items, but unable to kill mobs in time, thus preventing abuse of AFK mob grinding and laziness as revan stated.
/time(I think that's the command) works for telling time, I've discovered that every midnight(12:00 pm ingame time) mobs despawn. Just use this command
