I have the server difficulty set to 2 (Normal, so mobs can spawn in the normal worlds), but then in the Multiworld config I have set the difficulty of the creative world to be 0 (peaceful, so mobs can't spawn).
None.
 
In my creative worlds when it is night time mobs rapidly spawn and de-spawn. Is there a way to fix this?
 
This seems related: https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-1202
 
It looks like a bug with MC itself, and was addressed in this snapshot: https://mojang.com/2013/06/minecraft-snapshot-13w24a
 
I assume that means we just need to wait for CraftBukkit to include the fix in a release.

=== Permissions issue ===
 
One issue we have ran into is when running McMyAdmin and PermissionsEx at the same time is, if you add a user, group or permission via McMyAdmin, it writes the permissions.yml to PermissionsEx with the user but with no group in between the "''" parts.
 
To avoid this, add users/groups/permissions via /pex in the server console or in-game. To reload do /pex reload instead of /reload
 
=== Other ===
 
If you make a group that is a 'default' group (Like the Everyone group is by default) - MCMA transparently renames it to 'default' when using PermissionsBukkit as PB requires that it's called Default for people to be a member automatically.

Let's say you have:
Region name: doorway<br>
Group name: '''vip'''<br>
Flag: entry deny
<pre>/region define doorway
/region flag doorway entry deny
/region addmember doorway g:vip
/region flag doorway entry -g nonmembers</pre>
This would stop entry to everyone who is not in the vip group for the doorway.
Region name: doorway<br>
Group name: '''guest'''<br>
Flag: entry deny
<pre>/region define doorway
/region flag doorway entry deny
/region addmember doorway g:guest
/region flag doorway entry -g members</pre>
This would stop entry to everyone who is in the members field, guest in this case, group for the doorway. Everyone else would be allowed.
Then you'd add the permission node "group.guest" to the guest group in your permissions plugin's config.
"Guest" isn't a group - http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldGuard/Regions/Flags#Group
Note:
<pre>/rg removemember chestroomdoor playername</pre>
==== Group inheritance ====
Important note about the below example:
<pre>/rg flag regionname entry deny
/rg addmember regionname g:groupname</pre>
These two commands should deny entry to groups not added as members or owners.
'''Keep in mind that if you use any inheritance system in your permissions (for example: builder inherits default permissions), any groups that inherit the same permissions as the allowed group will also be allowed entrance to the region.'''
Your best bet is to eliminate the inheritances and give each group their own group.groupname permission. This allows worldguard to see separate groups.
The same goes with the exit flag.

Server host/IP: mc.bywatercraft.co.uk / 188.165.120.188
Website name: bywatercraft.co.uk -/> bywatercraft.com

Currently the Bywater Craft Minecraft server is running Spigot 1.8.8. We have now updated the plugins to be compatible with 1.8.7.

Load Minecraft:

/usr/bin/java -Djline.terminal=jline.UnsupportedTerminal -client -Xmx7132M -jar spigot.jar nogui -d yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss -nojline

Load McMyAdmin:

tmux new-session -n minecraft
cd /home/user
./MCMA2_Linux_x86_64 | tee yourminecraft.log

If you want to connect from elsewhere to view the above output/console load the screen session:

ssh user@localhost -pXXXX
tmux ls
tmux attach 0

To kill the process on boot:

ps -ef | grep tmux | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

Using CTRL + D will quit screen and close any processes running within it.
To exit safely do CTRL + B, let go, then press D on it's own.

When downloading a backup from McMyAdmin, it comes in the mcb format. Change it to .zip and you can then unzip it into a folder and restore to the server.

Allowing PvP

Personally, for WorldGuard's pvp flag to work we had to ensure:

  • Essentials plugin had pvp = true
  • McMyAdmin control panel had Configuration > Game Settings > Allow Player vs Player combat
  • server.properties file had pvp = true
  • WorldGuard had __global__ set to pvp deny
  • WorldGuard then could have specific regions set to pvp allow

Backpack

Reduce/downgrade Backpack space:

cd /Minecraft/plugins/Backpack/backpacks/world
ls -lah

Edit the value next to "contents-amount:" in the user's .yml file.

Bungeecord

Never use McMyAdmin's Prefix and Suffix boxes, as you likely will not be able to remove them after you have set them without removing the group and re-adding it.

Check server's TPS

Ticks Per Second

If you use Bukkit/Essentials, do /lag

ColorMe

If you add or remove a player to players.yml manually, keep a copy of the text you entered or of the file from which the text was removed. Sometimes when you do /color reload it will import an old version of the file from before the change you made. To resolve this:

  • make a copy of the text you added or the entire file not including the text you remove
  • run the following command:
:> players.yml
  • in config.yml set updateConfig: to true from the default of false
  • /color reload
  • now add or remove the text you did before, run the above command and it should work

Also, it may be worth keeping updateConfig: as true always

Colour and type

To use both colour and formatting/type such as bold, itallic, strikethrough and underline at the same time, use the colour first then the formatting:

amplified: '&6&oModerator&f'

or

/prefix me &6&oModerator

Connection reset

Set opt-out to true in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml

This by default is false.

In minecraft.log "[INFO] Connection reset"

touch reset.sh ; chmod +x reset.sh ; vim reset.sh

netstat -pantu | grep -v LISTEN | grep 25565 >> reset.log
echo -e "\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
date +%R
netstat -pantu | grep -v LISTEN | grep 25565

Then do the following in two separate SSH windows:

tail -f minecraft/install/directory/logs/minecraft.log
watch -n 1 ./reset.sh

Then match up the times, and block the IP address from the server list website that is causing the message:

iptables -A INPUT -s 50.116.54.77 -j DROP
iptables-save
iptables -L

Allowing lava seems to be easiest by creating a group that can do it and then doing:

NoSplosion will cause Endermen to NOT spawn

Disables all explosions vanilla or mods (Tekkit etc...) and fire from destroying blocks as well as Endermen from spawning. All explosions and fire still damage players but do not damage the environment.

Your configuration might be outdated!

The best thing to do is just do:

mv config.yml old.config.yml

Then reload the server configuration or NCP plugin itself:

/reload
/ncp reload

Then check if the config is different:

diff config.yml old.config.yml

Install Feed The Beast on a Unix server

Add a user and make a directory specifically for the mod, e.g.:

add user ftb
mkdir server
cd /home/ftb/server
su ftb

Then do:

tmux new-session -n NameTheSession
su user
cd ~/server
wget http://www.creeperrepo.net/direct/FTB2/6ce418a51b200ece8cb3c509ba9e094a/modpacks%5EUltimate%5E1_0_1%5EUltimate_Server.zip
mv modpacks^Ultimate^1_0_1^Ultimate_Server.zip Ultimate_Server.zip
unzip Ultimate_Server.zip
vim ServerStart.sh

Edit the values as you see fit.

chmod +x ServerStart.sh
./ServerStart.sh | tee ftb.log

It will error out if you're already running a Minecraft server on the default port 25565. If it does, do CTRL + C. To change this,

vim server.properties

Set the server-port to something that is not 25565. Then make sure the user:group ownership is correct on the server folder and all files and directories below it.

./ServerStart.sh | tee ftb.log

CTRL + B then d to quit the tmux session.

Errors

If you get something like below, you likely need to disable some mods (for me it was mods/railcraft.jar and mods/MineFactoryReloaded.jar):

Install Votifier

Install the plugin as normal by placing the .jar file in your plugins folder: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/votifier

Then reload the server and do:

cat plugins/Votifier/rsa/public.key

Copy the code into the area of the server listing website you are using.

SimpleVoteListener

SimpleVoteListener can perform commands and broadcast messages

Load MCMyAdmin and Minecraft on server start

ssh -p port user@localhost
crontab -e

Press insert and add:

@reboot screen -dmS minecraft /home/mc/MCMA2_Linux_x86_64

Then do:

:wq

You can then if you wish do:

exit
touch /etc/init.d/minecraftd ; chown user:user /etc/init.d/minecraftd
vim /etc/init.d/minecraftd

Lock chests

Use LWC or Lockette.

To reload LWC, do /lwc admin reload

To snoop in a chest with Lockette and to do this without a broadcast message, edit this file:

/home/user/Minecraft/plugins/Lockette/config.yml

And edit the following:

allow-admin-snoop: true
broadcast-snoop-target: ''

Kill all MCMA processes

ps aux|grep MC|grep x86|awk {'print $2'}

Results of the above command.

for a in `!!`
for a in `ps aux|grep MC|grep x86|awk {'print $2'}`
> do
> kill -9 $a
> done
ps aux|grep MC|grep x86|awk {'print $2'}

McMyAdmin

Migrate from one *nix server to another

scp / rsync the data in the Minecraft directory across. Then do:

apt-get install unzip
apt-get install openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
cd /usr/local
wget http://mcmyadmin.com/Downloads/etc.zip
unzip etc.zip

Go to serverIPaddress:8080 in your browser. To login, check the details in McMyAdmin.conf. To change the password you need to stop McMyAdmin:

/quit in console

The file stores the password as MD5, to convert your password use this: http://www.md5hashgenerator.com/index.php

Restart required

If you use PermissionsBukkit with McMyAdmin, if you make a change you normally need to restart the Minecraft server to get it to see the changes.

A huge advantage of setting the Permissions Export to PermissionsEx is when a permission is added to McMyAdmin it automatically reloads the configuration, this is shown in the console by:

[INFO] Permissions file successfully reloaded
[INFO] Permissions reloaded

If you op or de-op a player from ops.txt and the Administrators group in McMyAdmin.

To set negative permissions in PermissionsEx, use - -permission before the other permissions.

Restore backup from McMyAdmin

mkdir BACKUPOFWORLDShhmm
cp -v world world_nether world_the_end BACKUPOFWORLDShhmm/ -R
mkdir movedawayworlds
mv world world_nether world_the_end movedawayworlds

Then restore the backup via the McMyAdmin control panel.

Security

To check when a player was last online, their IP address, what world they are in, do:

/seen playername

Useful:

screen -xr mcmonitor
CTRL A + D
screen -xr mysqlmcmon

cd /home/mc/Minecraft
cat server.log | grep "YYYY-MM-DD" | grep User | grep -v indestructible
cat server.log | grep User | grep -v 'indestructible\|fell from a high place'

Setting spawn

On Bywater Craft where we have multiple spawn plugins, to set spawn you need to do:

/mw setspawn
/setspawn

Set warps

/setwarp NewWarpName

Go to warps:

/warp WarpName

List warps:

/warp

If you have per-warp-permission set to true in the config.yml then you can limit what warps players can use. This also controls what players would see with /warp, hence why both essentials.warp and essentials.warp.list are used.

Set world for SkyGridMP

World Edit

Place .schematic files in /home/user/Minecraft/plugins/WorldEdit/schematics

Import them by doing:

//schematic load filename

Then you can do //paste in Minecraft to paste it into the world where you are.

Fill an area

//wand

Select position 1 and 2. Then do:

//set block

Unbind a tool/block

If for example you accidentally do //fill block (e.g. sand), and each time you right click with a tool/block or your hand, clear it by doing:

/none

World Guard

http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldEdit/Selection

https://bukkit.org/threads/worldguard-not-expanding-regions.20974/

To protect an area, do:

//wand

Then click the first position then the second position with the wooden axe.

If you only do one layer, you can do //expand to go up or down, e.g.:

//expand UpValue DownValue up
//expand 10 0 up

This would expand up 10 blocks from the single layer but do 0 down.

Then do:

/region define newnameforarea owner

Owner can be left blank.

To get information on the area you just created, do:

/region info newnameforarea

Allow fire spread/tick

In config.yml:

Set high-frequency-flags to true
Set disable-all-fire-spread to false

/rg flag __global__ fire-spread allow
/rg flag __global__ lava-fire allow

If this still doesn't work, if you have Essentials then set these in config.yml:

fire-spread: true
lava-fire-spread: true
flint-fire: true

Edit world regions from outside (and inside) that world

/rg flag -w ExactWorldName RegionName FlagName allow

If you want to use the blocked-cmds flag and want to block multiple commands separate them by commas:

/rg flag -w world MyHome blocked-cmds /tp,/warp

Entry flag for groups

Due to inheritance

/rg flag chestroomdoor entry deny
/rg flag chestroomdoor entry -g nonmembers
/rg addmember chestroomdoor g:citizen

This gets round inheritance by denying all except members from a certain group up the inheritance tree.

Let's say you have:

Region name: doorway
Group name: vip
Flag: entry deny

/region define doorway
/region flag doorway entry deny
/region addmember doorway g:vip
/region flag doorway entry -g nonmembers

This would stop entry to everyone who is not in the vip group for the doorway.

Region name: doorway
Group name: guest
Flag: entry deny

/region define doorway
/region flag doorway entry deny
/region addmember doorway g:guest
/region flag doorway entry -g members

This would stop entry to everyone who is in the members field, guest in this case, group for the doorway. Everyone else would be allowed.

Then you'd add the permission node "group.guest" to the guest group in your permissions plugin's config.

"Guest" isn't a group - http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldGuard/Regions/Flags#Group

Note:

/rg removemember chestroomdoor playername

Group inheritance

Important note about the below example:

/rg flag regionname entry deny
/rg addmember regionname g:groupname

These two commands should deny entry to groups not added as members or owners.

Keep in mind that if you use any inheritance system in your permissions (for example: builder inherits default permissions), any groups that inherit the same permissions as the allowed group will also be allowed entrance to the region.

Your best bet is to eliminate the inheritances and give each group their own group.groupname permission. This allows worldguard to see separate groups.

The same goes with the exit flag.

Flint & Steel doesn't work

If it returns the message:

You're not allowed to use that here

Do this in-game:

/region flag -w world __global__ lighter allow

Source: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/i-need-help-with-allowing-flint-steel.152990/

Rename region

You cannot do this without editing the database manually. If the area is not too big, just remove it and re-add it.

If you do edit the entry in the id column of the region table of the worldguard (by default) database, just do /worldguard reload in-game after you have changed it.

Set flags

To set flags, see this page: http://wiki.sk89q.com/wiki/WorldGuard/Regions/Flags

To stop building and PvP but to allow use, you would do:

/rg flag areaname build deny
/rg flag areaname pvp deny
/rg flag areaname use allow

WorldGuard Block Restricter

This requires WorldGuard Custom Flags installing too.

To only allow a specific type of block you need to:

  • set build allow in WorldGuard: /rg flag areaname build allow
  • then deny all blocks via WorldGuard Block Restricter using /rg flag areaname deny-blocks any
  • then allow the blocks you want via WorldGuard Block Restricter using /rg flag areaname allow-blocks dirt
