Minecraft: Remove invisible Roots 2 mob spawner

Leave a comment

Playing Enigmatica 2 and found a Roots 2 hovel, half into the ground, thatch roof, chests and monsters inside. Cleaned it out, filled it with dirt. Thought it was gone. But monsters kept spawning… Inside the dirt… Opened it back up… Monsters kept spawning… No spawners in sight…

Turns out, there was an invisible entity doing the spawning… Was able to fix it by standing close by and running the following command:

/kill @e[type=!Player,r=10]
Killed entity.barrow.name

After that, no mobs… weird stuff…

How to reset enemies in Factorio

Leave a comment

Playing Factorio and loving it! But I’m playing rather slowly, so even though I like that the enemies are aggressive (didn’t select the peaceful option), they have evolved much further than I’m comfortable with compared to my ability to deal with them at the moment…

Found some console commands for resetting the evolution factor (what gradually increases and makes the enemies more and more nasty), and for nuking already spawned enemies.

Check your keyboard settings for how to toggle the console.

/c game.evolution_factor = 0
/c game.forces["enemy"].kill_all_units()

To see the current evolution factor:

/c game.local_player.print(game.evolution_factor)

Hosting Minecraft on Hyper-V in Windows 8.1 Pro

5 Comments

Just got a new computer which I hoped would be powerful enough to run both a Minecraft Server and the Minecraft game. And, turns out it is!

Managing servers and stuff tend to be easier in unix though, so I figured I’d try to run it in a virtual machine. First thought of VirtualBox, but then I stumbled upon the fact that Windows 8.1 Pro comes with a Hyper-V Platform built-in. Decided to check it out, and it works fantastic.

At least after I swapped out the virtual hard drive with the SSD from my old computer. Not sure if I set it up wrong, or if Minecraft just really don’t like being inside a virtual hard drive on a regular HDD…

Anyways, here’s what I’ve done for future reference in case I need to set it up again, or if anyone else would like to check it out. Depending on your comfort with command lines, unix, etc, you might need to use some google-fu. Or leave a comment, and I’ll try to help 🙂

Here’s what I use and try to cover here:

Notes on Minecraft hosting

1 Comment

Just notes to self that I keep having to find in various documents and random Minecraft forums of varying quality of which there are a lot…

Screen stuff

I have an unused laptop which I installed Ubuntu Server on, and this is what I use to run the Minecraft server so it’s easy to manage and won’t die when I disconnect.

# Run detached in screen using dir name as screen name
screen -dmS ${PWD##*/} java -Xmx3G -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -jar server.jar nogui

# List screens
screen -ls

# Reattach to specific
screen -r name

# Reattatch to whatever (handy if just one running)
screen -raAd

# Detach (important, since Ctrl+c would shut down the server)
Ctrl+a, Ctrl+d

Minecraft server stuff

A bit cheaty, especially the last one, but sometimes you just want to play without worrying about losing what you spent way too many hours working on. I prefer a gravestone mod over the last one though, cause then dying is still an annoyance, but at least you have a chance of getting back that crazy expensive armor and the fifteen stacks of diamonds you just spent forever digging up.

# Prevent creepers and such from destroying stuff
gamerule mobGriefing false

# Don't lose stuff when dying
gamerule keepInventory true
