[Solutions] Disable the XP Orb lagfest, plz!

Pretty simple,

you know the XP Orb Disable class?
Can somebody plz make that for bukkit to disable those pesky green tribbles?

thanks alot!

@Zothen Jeb on twitter: "Oh i also fixed the 'Experience orb' bug in SMP, did that first today."
This is already fixed,

@MuisYa you should be a bit more suspicious about what Mojang is doing - the Orbs are a) still lagging server and b) are a nuisance right now!

The request for a plugin to disable them is still valid!

thx gents!

Hmm. I'm on it!

@Zothen Download

use command /removeorbs to remove all orbs on the ground.

@McSpazzy Youre the best coder ever, 2nd thread i see you: "Im on it" 20 mins later "*DownloadLink"

Nice, what range does it have?
It does not completly disable xp orb drop, right?

It doesn't disable the drops. Using the command just removes any from the active entity list, so any currently on the ground, anywhere on the server.

Hm, I prefered a way to completly prevent them but on a 2nd thought your solution seems better, cos on the long term the orbs will be used by other plugins. Nice, testing when a CB build for 1.8.1 is there.

Oh, Im horribly sorry: Thank you very much for your fantastic work, @McSpazzy ! (Im such an ignorant brat at times, hehe)

Love you man <3. Saved our server!

How can i set it with permissionsbukkit ?
It does not work on our server.

@Switch0r Let me try to decompile it, and add permissions...

Thank you very much.
If we just could disable the exp orbs

@Switch0r Eeehm, i dont think that is possible yet... Nope it isnt...
Im making PermissionsBukkit support right now.

And can you fix that error also ? Thanks

@Switch0r did you use the command from the console?

Is it possibble to disabble them totaly.
Or make the clearorbs command go automatic when there are xxx orbs on the floor
Or make it so it clears every xxx time.
It really produce lag when there are like 10000 on the ground

I just had an idea of how to disable them. I'm on it!

Im eagerly awaiting your work McSpazzy!

GREAT!! Cant wait

Well its not so much disable...I can't find anything that can cancel them existing. Best I can offer is something that runs every minute/few minutes, removing them all.

thats good enough
idk if its much work to make but maybe u can make it like droclear.
u can set a ammount of drops then it clears when it comes over that ammount.
But time is also good

you sir saved me.

@worstboy32 @Raider @VitalViper @Switch0r

DisableOrbs

automatically removes all orbs on the ground every 30 seconds

hmmm. just to through it out there... how about make it remove all orbs on an entity death?

Love u tyvm for the epic plugin i go install immediately

@Raider The problem there is that the obs are not dropped until after the entity death event is over. So any code called during, wont have any effect.

ahh fair enough, still, awsome job ^^ your still a life saver haha

I made this plugin for you guys:
OrbRemoval:

• Checks every minut for orbs on ground.
• Removes them if there are any.
• World name configurable in config.

Aaah lol, it got already made. Too late hahahaha.
Let me check youre code :3
