Org Minecraft Server

That's kind of good. I assumed once you wiped out a passive mob they were gone. I'm going to bring lots of charcoal on my horse expedition.

Passive mobs spawn VERY slowly, but they do spawn. However, they will only spawn if the passive mob cap is not maxed out, and passive mobs do not despawn. That's why the animals don't seem to change in an area under normal conditions. If you're not killing them, nothing new is spawning. Thus, if an area doesn't have any horses it never will have any horses unless you kill off the existing passive mobs to make room for new spawns. However, even then horses spawn at a much lower rate than anything else, so it will take a long time.

Dont suppose you could spawn some with host powers?

I will do so if there's there's some kind of bug with the server that's preventing them from spawning. However, if it's simply because they are very rare and hard to get, then I think it should be appropriately difficult to get them.

Because I'm based in a jungle I now have about 2 dozen wild cats around one of my treehouses.

I have been clearing the undergrowth and they are so easy to see now.

SilkSpawners has been updated and re-enabled. MobCatcher and RebalanceVillagers remain offline.

I played a single player map and I found about 20+ in a plains biome, I suggest we focus the cull on the map's plains and if they dont show up in a day or two them we spawn some.

If it isn't a bug but just super rare then I'm fine waiting.

Spawning diminished the value.

If I want my little ponies in sparkling gemstone armour I can play creative. Actually after putting it that way, I think super rare is a good thing. ;)

I have started putting a fence around the plains north of my castle. I am however leaving for the Mediterranean today and won't be online the next week or so. If anyone wants in on the project they could continue fencing it in. It should be devoid of life already.

I actually reside in my little wood hut near your castle at the moment.
Will have a go at continuing your fences next week.

Enjoy your time in the Med. Should be nice and sunny there now.

Ok, I spent several hours lighting a huge plains area outside my lair. Must have used about 40 stacks of torches. I also slaughtered everything within a massive radius of the place, but even after hours of waiting nothing new spawned at all, let alone horses. In an attempt to figure out what was going wrong, I used admin powers to teleport myself to a remote plains island. I killed everything on the island and there were no other nearby islands which should have been interfering with the spawns, but nothing would spawn there either. I've checked all settings and plugins and I cannot find anything that would be preventing horses from spawning. Maybe they can spawn in the world as we have it, but if I can't get one to spawn after hours of work then even if it is possible it's way too hard. As such, I have used creative mode to solve the problem...

I have teleported myself around the world and spawned about 20 herds of horses. Each herd is about 6-10 in size, and they are all on planes biomes. None are close to existing structures. So, go out on an expedition to explore the world and you might be able to find them now. If you don't, keep looking; they are out there!

Would anybody know if name tags can be acquired on this server? As it stands they can only be found in dungeons, but I'm not sure if dungeon chest contents are generated with the world, or only when you open them. If the former, I'd imagine we're out of luck.
