[MECH] Safe Creeper 1.4.2 - Control creepers, Enderman, TNT, Fireballs and more! [1.5.2]

Yet another creeper nerf :/

I make this for my spawn world, where the players can't build, it's no fun if there's a creeper that destroy the world.
(I like creepers )

Creepers only damage players but not the terrain?

Upcoming features? The damage gets rebuilt? What's the point of having the damage if it just gets repaired..? I'm not sure but this exists as well:

WorldGuard support on the way?
You do realize WorldGuard has a built-in feature for nerfing creepers?


Not trying to bash your plugin. I'm sure it's fine.
It's just we already have all this.

I know CreeperHeal was already there, but that doen't work as I want too so I divised to make my own plugin. I made this one in 10 minutes and it's not finished yet!

changelog has to show 2 latest version without a spoiler

title is missing plugin version

Done!

Is there a plugin to disable creeper explosions above a certain level? I would like creepers to not explode on the surface while still allowing blocks below ground to be damaged by explosions.

I can make that if you want to. But currently it's a very basic plugin, I work 10 minutes on it . If you want tell me I will make that function for you

This is a great idea, I saw the plugin that does this with TNT, but it would be great if @Tim Visee merges it with this one. +1
And looking forward to the self-repairing update (CreeperHeal its a bit confusing)

Oke, Im going to add this function. Im currently finishing my new version of the Glowstone Lanterns plugin (The new version support command lines in the files, more permissions and probably the lanterns will change into glowstone when its raining, also added config.yml file) When I done that I will create this function! Btw, I dont know how long it takes, but I think not too long, tomorrow (for me already today in the netherlands) I will update this plugin I think

Great! Also I think maybe make it so that only creepers below (threshold - creeper blast radius) explode, that way if the safe level is 50, then creepers can't explode at 49 and damage blocks above 50, if you see what I'm saying.

Yes, I understand, that's a little hard but I'm going to try it

Sorry, I got some trouble with another project... I will update the plugin as soon as I can! (take not too long!)

Just found in my Logs:

how's it going with the multiworld support? i really need it

I'm using BlastControl right now, but it hasn't been updated since 818, and my players want to use TNT occassionally. Any plans on separating creeper & TNT damage?

Somming soon, but Im working hard on a few things, a Wolrd Generator called Dungeon Maze (Comming out soon, best plugin ever ) so I will add this feature as soon as possible!

hey have been divorced, as you can see the config.yml

As soon as you add multi-world support, I'm probably switching to this.

I will try to add this tomorrow (im goint to sleep right now in the netherlands), because it isnt to hard to make

I had some trouble

I had some trouble with some thing, so didn't work on the plugin multi world support, I'm going to start now..

UPDATE 0.2 - Multi World and a LOT of other things

The new version of Safe Creeper is out.
Underneet you can see what's added

• Multi World support
• Only use settings between two layers (optional) so that creepers will explode underneeth the surface or another layer if you want
• Set if creepers will be powerd if they hit by lightning
• Explosions sounds, enable or disable explosions sounds
• Explosion smoke effect
• Set if players can place a TNT block
• Fixed a bug

There are a lot of files added into the Safe Creeper folder you find in the download, please remove all the previous files if you already Safe Creeper 0.1 had installed.

Some people may say this is "yet another creeper nerf," but it scratches my itch perfectly - player damage and smoke remain for all three types of explosions, and yet the landscape doesn't get torn up. Bravo!

now this plugin is perfect, thanks!

EDIT:
it doesn't work for me, i use cb 1000 and here's my config:

# This is the global settings for all the worlds, if a world have his own settings file it will overwrite these settings for the world.

# Creepers
CreeperControl:
Enabled: true
DestroyWorld: false
EnableExplosionSound: true
EnableExplosionSmoke: true
PowerdByLightning: true
# Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
EnableBetweenLevels:
Enabled: true
MinLevel: 0
MaxLevel: 50

# Fireballs (from ghasts)
FireballControl:
Enabled: true
DestroyWorld: false
EnableExplosionSound: true
EnableExplosionSmoke: true
# Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
EnableBetweenLevels:
Enabled: false
MinLevel: 0
MaxLevel: 127

# TNT blocks
TNTControl:
Enabled: true
DestroyWorld: false
EnableExplosionSound: true
EnableExplosionSmoke: true
CanPlaceTNT: true
# Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
EnableBetweenLevels:
Enabled: false
MinLevel: 0
MaxLevel: 50

There's a global file, in the folder Safe Creeper, you can set the default settings in there, for all the worlds, if you have a world where you want some diferent settings you need to create a file with the name of the world inside the Safe Creeper/worlds file, I suggest to copy the example.yml file and rename that one. You can set things in here for that world, for example, if Enabled, under the TNTControl is true and it was already true, you can remove that line. I hope you understand, if you have a line with the same value as the global file you can remove that line, (only in the world files, not in the global.yml file). You send your config file for the world called world.yml and I see that you have no spaces before most of the lines where they are needed, so of course this doesn't work, you must have that spaces! So your config file must look like this.

Code:

# This is the global settings for all the worlds, if a world have his own settings file it will overwrite these settings for the world.

# Creepers
CreeperControl:
     Enabled: true
     DestroyWorld: false
     EnableExplosionSound: true
     EnableExplosionSmoke: true
     PowerdByLightning: true
     # Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
     EnableBetweenLevels:
         Enabled: true
         MinLevel: 0
         MaxLevel: 50

# Fireballs (from ghasts)
FireballControl:
     Enabled: true
     DestroyWorld: false
     EnableExplosionSound: true
     EnableExplosionSmoke: true
     # Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
     EnableBetweenLevels:
         Enabled: false
         MinLevel: 0
         MaxLevel: 127

# TNT blocks
TNTControl:
Enabled: true
     DestroyWorld: false
     EnableExplosionSound: true
     EnableExplosionSmoke: true
     CanPlaceTNT: true
     # Only enable these settings if you are between two levels (you must enable 'EnableBetweenLevels' to use it).
     EnableBetweenLevels:
         Enabled: false
         MinLevel: 0
         MaxLevel: 50

You may already did it and bukkit removed the spaces, that's possible, another thing is that you set the MinLevel to 0 and the MaxLevel to 50 (and you enabled these things) that means that if youre settings are enabled with and you enabled those min and max level things that if the creeper explode underneeth or above those levels that they explode as they normally did (they didn't use your settings) if they explode between the Min and the MaxLevel, like 0 to 50 they will use your settings and don't explode, so I think you need to change MinLevel:0 and MaxLevel:50 to MinLevel:50 to MaxLevel:127. The same with the TNT and maybe also the fireballs from ghasts.
I really hope you understand the whole message, because it's hard to explain for me because I'm dutch and 14 years old.
Tim Visee

lol i'm dutch too and only 1 year older

but for the min and the max level, i thought it was the other way round
and bukkit removed the spaces. and i already did the global etc stuff
and "Enabled: true" (first time) means your plugin is looking at it right?

Great

I understand that you thought it was the way around, but it's hard to explain. So is it fixed?

Awesome, thanks for the multiword support. While I was reading the new updates, I thought of something. Do you think it would be possible to completely prevent creepers from spawning on the surface, but still allow them to spawn in unlit caves?

Ahm, Yes of course, give me a moment for the next update
