Goldfarm Rule

My suggestion is a rule that every player that owns a gold farm in Any sort of way Has to make the pigmen produced from the farm automaticly die. Example: make them drop to their death.
This should prevent goldfarms from causing lag as much as possible.

People who think pigmen drop only nuggets when killed by player please read this article about Pigmen: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Zombie_Pigman

If you don't get what I mean then please don't post here.

Edit: forgot to add this: the player can still make it possible to get EXP from them or use looting on the pigmen. Example: make a piston or another block break their fall temporarly. (see screenshots) http://imgur.com/M1pt1At,3J24NuO

And lets hire 20 more helpers that will keep an eye on that.

 

Uhh. This was never a problem. If there's not really a problem, then why should there be a change?

 

Goldfarms?

 

This isn't a problem. Why change it?

 

Ask that skyblock players and Cooley and Sjoe.

 

Skyblock's laggy as hell. I dunno how much of a difference this would make.

 

-1, this would be extremely messy from an enforcement situation. Perhaps some hardline solution could be found, but I disagree with a fix via rules and punishments.

 

-1 Although I did agree somewhat with you in game, this will only effect limited players and it will be near impossible to moder

 

People buy gold ingots (chestshops) but gold has no value anymore.
At least, until the bank comes back

 

If lag is an issue, spawn and mob rates can be adjusted rather than requiring an auto kill farm over an xp style grinder.

 

Aren't goldfarms nerfed? -1

 

Nope. they aren't. last I checked atleast.

think you dont get what I'm saying...

I could see what you mean with this. altho I'm not waiting for a repeat.... hope you understand what I mean...

Then what do you suggest?

It would change that not just 1 person gets a lot of mobs standing there doing nothing while others are trying to get mob spawns...

 

You say this but, you only play skybock, so either u feel that u get a lot because u play skyblock, or things simply arent nerf'd on skyblock

 

But if someone has 30 zombie pigman sitting in one 16x16xbedrock area. (1 chunk), it doesn't take away from an overall pool of available mobs. The reason I say this is because despite hostile mobs spawning, you can still breed passive animals. If the "cap" was it, it would not be letting in new passive mobs either, or it would be removing other mobs within the world. We're not receiving enough complaints of people losing their animals to really justify that explanation.

I suspect the issue is Skyblock is broken, the entire plugin, utterly broken. There is something interfering with how hostile mobs spawn, finding what that is and fixing it is the solution, really.

 

Passive mobs aren't naturally spawning on my island at all. @Cooleysworld you messed with the mob spawn rate did you possibly mess up the program?

 

No, I think the reason they wern't nerfed was because gold is pretty much worth nothing. Well, at least compared to when it was worth 450

This is mostly applying to SB where gold is worth something.
