    Hey guys,

    Just a quick update that will take place on our next server restart we have added Merged Mobs. This plugin allows nearby living entities to be merged into one entity. Reducing the number of living entities on Skyblock -> less lagg.

    Please let me know below if you experience any issues with this plugin.

    Thanks.

    Ah good, lots of PvP servers do this. I was actually going to write this suggestion today after re-visiting faction servers but oh well, hey, you have it now. As far as I can see it's great.
    However on another server I have experienced a bug where if a mob is stacked higher than 64 it will only register as one kill. So possibly check on that. But overall this is a great addition - Thanks!

    It's a whole lot less life-like, but I'm always in favor for things that decrease lag.

    The only problem I'm noticing so far is that for auto grinders where mobs are supposed to die when they fall, when a stack of mobs falls only one dies and the rest survive and go all over the place.

    May I ask, what about horses? Or named animals? Will they still merge? It'd be a bit frustrating if named animals, or pet animals (wolves, cats, horses) would merge.

    This is a nice plug-in and kind of reminds me of mods. :>

    But, like Anna said, naming animals could be a problem.

    Will the merged entities drop the same amount of items as the quantity of the animals or how will that part work?

    they die one at a time, so when you attack a merged mob, stuff will drop out of it whenever one of them dies

    For skeletons where they all wear different armor, only the identical ones merge.

    If you have 2 animals, say cows, how could you breed them if they're merged?
    Also, is this on org too?

    Grinders don't work properly anymore.
