I'm not sure if this should be here or in the plug in dept. I'm new to this chan so bear with me. Now that I have my server set up, I have a world to play in, how can I generate random mobs, or monsters for a lack of a better word, or NPC to fill the world and provide extra fun for the grandkids? I have read that Pocketmine does not support mobs per sei out of the box but that this could be achieved through plugins or such addons. I have my server.properties set tp generate them: spawn-animals=true spawn-mobs=true spawn-npcs=true spawn-protection=16 However, so far I have been unsuccessful. I also have read that PureEntities could do this as well (?) Is there any way to use scripting or an existing plugin that will generate these creatures within a world automatically? Do the mobs only show up on certain gamemodes? (survival, creative, etc)
There is no need for a particular gamemode for mobs to appear, this option on server.properties is not "complete", but it has how to make a plugin to show mobs
Mob spawning isn't implemented in PMMP as of now, so you'd need a plugin that is compatible with the newer versions of PMMP.
I'd say to try this new revival of the old PureEntities plugin. They might not be perfect, but they are implemented. https://poggit.pmmp.io/ci/RevivalPMMP/PureEntitiesX/PureEntitiesX
