StackMob - Enhance your servers performance without the sacrifice 5.3.7

Native Minecraft Version:

1.15

Tested Minecraft Versions:

• 1.15
• 1.16

Source Code:

https://github.com/Nathat23/StackMob-5

Languages Supported:

All with entity-translations.yml

Supercharge your servers' performance, without breaking grinders.​

Many people (rightly so) advise against using mob stackers because of their impact on gameplay for a minuscule performance gain. StackMob offers the flexibility your server needs so you can target the worst lag offenders, without ruining the fun for everyone else.​

Features:

• Ability to blacklist certain spawn reasons, entity types or worlds to prevent stacking
• Hidable nametag - nametag only appears when the player is in close proximity.
• Support for all entity traits (sheep colours, age, love mode etc)
• Ability to disable stacks from targeting players.
• Multiple death methods - different ways to decrease entity stack size. Chose from single die, all entities die, random amount die or an amount dependent on damage caused get removed.
  
• Multiplication of drops, experience points and player stats on stack death.
  
• 'Wait to stack' feature. Allows a brief period of time after initial spawn before stacking is enabled. This means that mob grinders do not get broken as entities don't merge in mid-air.
  
• Support for plugins such as MythicMobs, Citizens, McMMO and WorldGuard (a custom 'entity-stacking' flag to be used in regions)
• Most configuration options can be customised for specific entity types.

(also looking for someone to make a video on the new version of stackmob since the others are really old at this point)

Spoiler: Config

# StackMob 5.0 Configuration file - by antiPerson and contributors.

# Most options can be customised for specific entity types, for details about this, see the end of this file.
# Asterisk meaning:

# (**) The following option requires the use of Paper (https://papermc.io) because the API needed is not in Spigot.

stack:
 # The maximum size that a stack can have.

  # Whether the display tag can only be seen when the player targets the entity.
  # Mode:
  # ALWAYS - The tag will always be visible as long as the entity is loaded.

  # NEARBY - The tag will only be visible when the player is in range of the entity. (more resource intensive)
  visibility: NEARBY
  # Options for when 'NEARBY' is used above. (*)
  nearby:
   # The range from which the tag should be visible.

bStats:
If you don't want that your server sends data to bStats you can disable it by setting enabled to false in the bStats config file. The config can be found in the /plugins/bStats/config.yml file. bStats has nearly no effect on your server's performance and the sent data is completely anonymous so please consider twice if you really want to disable it.

Seeing that lot's of servers are using their plugin can keep plugin authors motivated and some of the data can also be used to improve their plugins.
