Disable monster spawning in specific worlds (1.21.1)

I’m working on a freebuild server running on 1.21.1 and need some help with configuring mob spawning. I specifically want to disable monster spawning (i.e., zombies, skeletons, creepers, spiders etc.) in certain worlds while still allowing friendly mobs (like cows, sheeps and chickens etc.). for example:

  • world = Only friendly mobs (no monsters like zombies, skeletons, etc.)
  • world_mine = Monsters and friendly mobs (full mob spawning)
  • world_nether = Monsters and friendly mobs (full mob spawning)
  • world_the_end = Monsters and friendly mobs (full mob spawning)
  • world_pvp = Only friendly mobs (no monsters like zombies, skeletons, etc.)

I’ve tried using WorldGuard, but the only available option is to completely disable mob spawning, which includes friendly mobs as well. This is not what I want since I still need things like endermen, blazes, and ghasts to spawn.

I’ve also explored a few other methods, like using /gamerule, which completely disables mob spawning, but I’d love to hear if anyone knows how to do it the proper way or if there’s a good plugin to achieve this.

Thanks in advance**!**

Sudden "getsockopt" error on a friend's machine

Hello everyone!

I've been hosting a paper server (with playit.gg as a port forwarding replacement) for my friends and myself for well over 6 months at this point and everything is going great. Last week however, I helped a friend of mine reinstall windows on her machine as it was starting to act up (just regular windows stuff). After finishing everything up she wanted to hop on the server just to see, that her connection is being refused and she is getting the "getsockopt" error. However, she can connect to public servers like Hypixel and even her Nitrado hosted server just fine. I had my laptop on me and so I tried connecting to my server through her network and even that worked just fine. The server's console doesn't output anything when she tries to connect so it seems like she is being blocked off before reaching the server. Even disabling the pc's firewall temporarily also didn't help surprisingly. Neither did creating exceptions for java.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

Is there a way to get the source code of a specific CraftBukkit version and compile it?

Hello, I want to ask there if maybe someone have experience about this topic.
Basically I have a Minecraft 1.2.5 CraftBukkit Server and I searched online on the repository but there's not anywhere the source code of this old version.
I need that to fix some code and modify it for my own Server that I manage, of course it has to be recompiled with Java 7 (that I never done that).
Is there any way to do that?

Is there a similar plugin that’s more modern (updated) than this one I’ve linked

https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/fakeblock.12830/

Sorry for the odd question, I’ve been trying to find something like this for a while but this one is a little outdated, it technically works but I don’t want to run the risk of it randomly not working in a future update of Minecraft

Just wanted to check if something similar to this plugin exists

It’s essentially just define area with world edit Area is ethier hidden or shown for a player depending on their permission

server overload problems

hi, I host a 1.21 server for my friends (~10 people) and it's overloaded asf, the tps is like 8 constantly. I can't really find the problem cuz I'm not a pro in creating servers, so I hope someone can help.

I allocated 16 gigabytes of RAM for the server. the CPU didn't overload at all. the server is on Paper. when no one really moves around the map, tps is stable 20. could this be a plugin problem or sum?

Command Only Executing in Specific GUI

Hi everyone,

I’m running an Anarchy server and need some help with a plugin issue. I have a /dupe command from a plugin, but the problem is it doesn’t have any permissions, so anyone can use it freely.

What I want is for the /dupe command to only execute when a player clicks the "buy dupe" option in the vote shop (I’m using VotingPlugin). In other words, the command should only run at the moment they make the purchase, and not at any other time.

Does anyone know how I can achieve this? Some ideas I’ve considered:

  1. Command aliasing: Is it possible to tie the vote shop button to a custom alias that runs /dupe?
  2. Custom scripts or plugins: Would I need something custom to trigger the command only during the purchase?

Thank you for your help!

Minecraft server won't connect after outofmemory error

My server crashed after having an outofmemory error, but that's not the worst of it. After trying to allocate more ram to the server I would get a fail to start error, so I just changed it back to what I was using and the server runs. But I can no longer connect to it anymore, I tried making a new server in a different folder without mods and I couldn't connect to that one either. I can only connect to the server using localhost on the same machine. I can't even connect to it via LAN on my main machine. I just get "Connection timed out: no further information" error.

After running around in circles troubleshooting even checking if my portforward was still on in the router settings. One site suggested I try minecraft server status website and when pinging my server I get "no route to host"

https://preview.redd.it/ceq7wznl0d1e1.png?width=647&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1b4adf031a84699ac5d802c0aa5902aff2272ac

After looking around this might be a dns or firewall issue, but im running the server on debian 11 so I can't use methods like ipconfig.

Minecraft port forwarding no longer working?

Me and my friend both had port forwarding fully set up on our respective computers and used it to play minecraft about half a year ago, now trying again it no longer works. I made sure the port forwarding was up to date on our computers (right ports, right computer, firewall settings, etc.) and we still cant join. Is there anything mojang added in the last couple of months that causes the old port forwarding setup to no longer work? Thanks! And sorry I couldn't add any logs or context because I really have nothing, the server just times out if you try to join (localhost works).

Voice effect with Simple Voice chat

In the most recent episode of Wild life (episode 5, mild spoilers) Mumbo Jumbo receives a punishment that ruins his proximity voice chat and makes him sound all robotic-like.

Now i am left wondering how they did that. I am assuming with some sort of plugin, but i am not completely certain.

(Here's what i am talking about)

Host switch & Map issues [JAVA 1.21]

We recently switched server hosts from Shockbyte to bisect. When bringing over our maps, they don't seem to want to load correctly. For example, The map will load the correct biome or world type and will still have the holograms but the builds aren't there. I tried opening these maps in a single player world and they work just fine but they wont let me switch it into creative mode so that I can just make schematics instead. I have tried editing the level.dat but it keeps showing me symbols instead of words. What am I doing wrong? Is there something I can do to fix this?

Same inventory, enderchest, tamed animals and ETC, but different minecraft account

does anyone know a plugin that you can like, create an "account" in the server and then login in it on using another account? like i have a account name "Rashian" and another named "Rashian123" and i really wanted to can use the something like a "/login" to access the "Rashian" player profile withou logging out my alt account

the reason i want that: Im using GeyserMC on my SMP with my friends, and i want my friends that have both bedrock and java accounts to just their java and bedrock accounts linked.

need help 1.16.5 modded minecraft server low tps

Hello so I'm making a minecraft modded server for me and a couple of friends (approximately 25 people). The server I made has 12 GB of ram allocated, (I have 32 GB of ram in total), Ryzen 9 5900x (12cores and 24 threads, 4.6 Ghz overclocked), running the server on a 1 tb Samsung nvme, rtx 3080 and 1 GB fiber optic upload and download (Ethernet).
This server is running on Forge 1.16.5 recommended with 280 mods in total, render distance 8, chunky per-generated chunks did radius 10000 circle before launching server to my friends for testing. Me and 4 friends have been testing out the server just walking around, flying around, the TPS drops to 13 ms and says "Cant keep up server" in the console. Is there anything I can do in order to improve the server so it doesn't lag and so I dont have low TPS.
I also play on the same pc the server runs on, allocating 6 GB of ram for myself.
I use spark as well, here is the profile https://spark.lucko.me/8s6JotLSLV
Here is the list of the Mods https://pastebin.com/vjGyKrDG
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

Minecraft Community Server 1.21.1

Hey, I’m trying to host a survival server for 40 players, but we keep running into issues.

We first bought a virtual server (vServer) with 6 CPU cores at 2.2 GHz and 32 GB of DDR4 RAM. However, the server kept crashing when all players were online. To address this, I installed a plugin called Chunky to pre-generate chunks using a command. This helped a lot but wasn’t enough to resolve the issue completely.

Next, I switched to a Fabric server because we needed the Simple Voice Chat mod, and Fabric generally offers better performance than Forge. Despite the change, the server continued crashing after 30-50 minutes of uptime.

We then upgraded to a vServer with 12 CPU cores at 2.2 GHz and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. However, now the server frequently displays the message:

**"Can't keep up! Is the server overloaded? 301 ticks behind."**

Occasionally, it manages to recover, but it still lags significantly (e.g., 32 ticks behind).

I suspect that the issue lies with the CPU, as the 12 virtual cores don’t seem fast enough to handle the load.

I’m currently looking for a dedicated server with a better CPU. Does anyone know what’s causing the issue and whether it’s indeed related to the CPU?

Please ping me if you have a fix or if I’m correct in my assumption.

Thanks,

Tim

Why does my Fabric 1.21 Server keep crashing upon joining?

I joined my own Minecraft server via a domain that points to a proxy that relays traffic to my PC that hosts the server and joining it somehow crashed the server. A lot of daemons seem to be waiting on "ForkJoinPool", AbstractQueuedSynchronizer, me.lucko.luckperms.lib.okhttp3.internal.connection.RealConnectionPool and the tick rate is at 60s/tick. Maybe there's some kind of lock that isn't being unlocked? The only mod, that I know of, that uses locks are the permissions mod and the server itself. Upon restarting the server, I noticed that my memory usage would be stable at ~4G. However, when I joined the world the memory would balloon to using ~15-22G until the server crashed. I've looked on the proxy server and usage seems normal. I've tried increasing the max amount of RAM to 32G from 8G: No change. I've also tried removing lithium since I figured it might have something to do with it since it's supposed to optimize the server: Also, no change. I've also tried connecting via localhost, but that didn't change anything either. Below is a link to the crash log and server log.

The server log does have quite a few errors in it, but it's been like that before when there didn't seem to be any issues with my friends nor myself playing on it except for a small bit of lag when logging in. The server does normally have a higher CPU usage than normal due to Fastback using git to backup snapshots of the server, but that's only periodically.

World Generator for Small Region

Vanilla Server compatible world generation mods/plugins

Hello Hello,

I'm hosting a small SMP server for my friends and myself since 5 years or so. Currently running paper on 1.20.4 with only Vane installed as a gemeplay enhancing plugin.

I was thinking if it is possible to pregenerate some new chunks on my existing map and then let us continue our journey.

Do you know if it is possible to download my world generate some new chunks let's say 10k blocks with terrareforged and/or YUNGs mods and then reupload the map on to the server?
