An image I made in GIMP to be the icon for this plugin.
Zombies and skeletons in an arena designed for mob battles, with command to make them fight in chat bar.
Near the end of the battle. As you can see, fights are still going on. The enderman ended up beating all the others to death with his sand block.
Zombies and skeletons fighting in the arena.
The zombies have won (they always do), so now the command to calm them is typed in the chat. Notice that the zombies are not attacking each other.
This is how a big fight between zombies, skeletons, creepers, and endermen usually starts. With explosions and lots of hitting.
Description
This plugin adds three commands, “/mobInsane”, "/mobInsaneTeam", and “/mobInsaneCalm”, allowing you to turn monsters against each other, battle them in teams, and calm them again, respectively, which can be very entertaining. Using “only” or “except” on “/mobInsane” and "/mobInsaneTeam" allows you to control which mob types battle, because creeper explosions can be very destructive.
This is my first Bukkit plugin. It adds 3 commands: "/mobInsane", "/mobInsaneTeam", and "/mobInsaneCalm".
How to Use:
"/mobInsane" can only be run by a player. A player in world X entering it simply as "/mobInsane" will make all monsters in world X turn against each other, fighting until only one monster remains. However, entering "/mobInsane only x, y, z,..." will make only mob types listed after "only" fight each other. Similarly, "/mobInsane except x, y, z,..." makes only monsters not listed after "except" fight each other. (Note that only monster types, like zombie and enderman, can be entered into "only" and "except", not animal types, like pig and sheep.) Insane monsters will not attack sane mobs or players, even when provoked.
"/mobInsaneTeam" behaves identically to "/mobInsane", except mobs of the same type won't fight each other. For example, if there is a group of skeletons and a group of zombies, the skeletons and zombies will fight, but the skeletons won't purposefully shoot other skeletons, and zombies won't attack other zombies.
"/mobInsaneCalm" causes all insane mobs to stop fighting. Quite simple.
Permissons: "mobInsane.mobInsane" for the "/mobInsane" command, "mobInsane.mobInsaneTeam" for the "/mobInsaneTeam" command, "mobInsane.calm" for the "/mobInsaneCalm" command.
To install, simply place the JAR file in the plugins directory, as with any other Bukkit plugin.
Testing Conditions and Problems:This plugin was tested in CraftBukkit 1.1-R3 (build #1846). Yes, I am talking about version 1.2. It may be somewhat slow, due to repeated use of Location.distance(Location), but I haven't found it to be. I do realize that "/mobInsane" and "/mobInsaneTeam" don't work on ghasts, and I plan on fixing that.
Sorry about the file naming error in 1.0, I had not noticed the submission guidelines and I do not know how to rename it.
