Working principle

ChunkHeat is a powerful tool for managing mob spawns in your Minecraft world. It focuses on controlling the number of mobs in specific chunks to maintain a balanced and enjoyable gameplay experience. The plugin offers various features and extensive configuration options to customize how mobs spawn, affect the in-game environment, and provides a way to limit excessive mobfarms while still keeping the vanilla feeling during normal gameplay.

It does so by assigning a "heat" value to every chunk. This score gets increased whenever a mob spawns or dies, in both the chunk where it spawned and where it died. If this score reaches a configurable threshold, all mob spawning in that chunk is suspended until the score is below the threshold again. Additionally you can also choose to restrict item/xp drops when the score exceeds the limit.

Reset Timer

The Timer has two different operating settings

* `reset-mode: 0` - Heat score will be reset every `reset-timer` minutes * `reset-mode: 1` - Heat score will only reset if the chunk has had no activity in the last `reset-timer` minutes

Commands

* `/chunkheat` - Shows the heat values of all Chunks * `/chunkheat get` - Shows the heat value of the Chunk you're currently standing in * `/chunkheat reload` - Reload the Plugin's config
