EntityDetection

This plugin enables you to locate areas in the game world with high concentrations of various entities - from monsters and animals to objects like hoppers. It's the perfect solution for detecting places where too many creatures or technical blocks have accumulated, which can cause server performance issues.

Particularly useful for finding automated farms with accumulated mobs for experience farming, as well as infinite chicken or villager breeders that create excessive load on performance.

Commands and Functions

/entitydetection (alias: /detect) - entitydetection.command

/detect search [search_type|material|block_state|entity_type...] - entitydetection.command.search

The main plugin command for starting searches in areas with numerous entities. If no specific type is specified, the search will target monsters, but you can also define specific categories of objects or even individual types.

/detect search --regions [type] - entitydetection.command.search

Displays results by WorldGuard regions instead of standard chunks.

/detect tp result_number - entitydetection.command.tp

Teleport to a specific entry from search results (you can click directly on the line in the list).

/detect list [page [search_type|material|block_state|entity_type]] - entitydetection.command.list

Shows additional pages of previous search results. You can specify a type to view the last search of a particular category.

/detect stop - entitydetection.command.stop

Stops the currently running search.
