New plugin – “MobDMZ”

Posted on August 26, 2022October 31, 2023 by Fingy

I got a request for a plugin to prevent mob spawns in certain areas. Sure, other plugins can do it, but this is super lightweight with a very straight-forward config. Customize by mob, dimension, and area:

 Ghast:
   dmz: true
   blocked-areas:
     0:
       level: world_nether
       minX: -42
       minZ: -42
       maxX: 42
       maxZ: 42
     1:
       level: world_nether
       minX: -204
       minZ: 4
       maxX: -138
       maxZ: 92

Available now on SpigotMC, source code on GitHub.

New Mod – Oblique

Posted on August 22, 2022October 31, 2023 by Fingy

Oblique is based on Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s “Oblique Strategies” cards, with some slight language changes to make it applicable to Minecraft. From Wikipedia:

Each card offers a challenging constraint intended to help artists (particularly musicians) break creative blocks by encouraging lateral thinking.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_Strategies

A few examples:

Repetition is a form of change
Do the dishes
Try faking it
Honour thy error as a hidden intention
Ask your body
Work at a different speed

Oblique is available on CurseForge for Minecraft versions 1.18 and above using Fabric.

ichari Shops v1.0 Available Now!

Posted on August 19, 2022October 31, 2023 by Fingy

WHEW! That was a lot.

My Minecraft server shop directory app is now out in the world!

ichari Shops aims to alleviate the pain of aggregating a server’s shop information. Create a shop, add co-owners, add inventory and pricing, write a slick description and publish. Everyone can see your shops, but only you and your co-owners can edit them. No more spreadsheets or Discord threads or whatever other yellow pages approximation your server uses.

ichari Shops is available for download on GitHub.

There is also a companion Spigot plugin that allows you to search the directory from in game. Download available at SpigotMC.org.
