Mobs appearing in dynamap

[ermac98]

Why do mobs appear on dynamap?

 

[DeadManYo]

Because they can? Because Joel Samson set it so that they would appear?

Couldn't careless...

 

[hickia]

its awesome. or maybe joel said "yolo?"

 

[FrozenSound]

Maybe it's because people get on and mobs spawn? :3

 

[hickia]

Joel said "Let there be mobs. And there were mobs"

 

[Joel Samson]

Why do mobs appear on dynamap?

Because I wanted everyone to see that mobs do in fact spawn and if there ever was an issue with mob spawning there isn't anymore.

Joel said "Let there be mobs. And there were mobs"

I did say this in fact, and the second i did. Mobs just flooded the server Haha

Maybe it's because people get on and mobs spawn? :3

Correct :3 They spawn within a 10 Chunk radius of a player.

I think mob is spawn chunck is always loaded and taking up mob cap so i think you should use res or worldguard to stop mob spawning there so more mob can spawn elsewhere

Aren't* I'm sorry, I'm a pheggot.

Will mobs keep appearing on dynamap when the server opens? I think it could cause problems(like lag, for example).

How could it possibly cause lag? :I

 

[Varee]

Any entity present will contibute to the lag , mob item or animal.

 

[hickia]

That's why one gets the modification by the name of optifine onto one's Minecraft. It substantially reduces lag on one's Minecraft. Happy Ermac? =.=

I dont know.

But it will make finding stuff on dynamap harder (like players)​

There is a list on the right side of the dynmap with all the players listed in it. If you wish to spectate a player you simply hover over their name and left click. This should automatically re-direct your view to the are with the designated player! Ask Joel Samson for more info.. So far it isn't causing any problems and hopefully it won't on the long term!
Hope I helped

Correct. Dynmap mobs will not cause lag. Entities themselves can cause lag yes. But that's the animals on the server. And so there will always be entities. All this is doing is showing the animals/mobs on the DynMap. But not causing or spawning more entities. Which means there will be no extra lag from having these display on the DynMap!
