Start a search for chunks with lots of entities in it.<br \/>\n> Without any type it searches for Monsters but you can also search for a specific type of entities (take a look at the different types below) or for single entity types. With version 1.1 you can also search for Hopper and other blockstates!<br \/>\n> You can also combine different types by just inputting them after each other separated by a space.<br \/>\n> When the search is finished you will get a list for all chunks sorted by their entity count.<\/p>\n<p>#### \/detect search &#8211;regions [<type>] &#8211; `entitydetection.command.search`<br \/>\n> List results based on WorldGuard regions instead of chunks<\/p>\n<p>#### \/detect tp <###### result> &#8211; `entitydetection.command.tp`<br \/>\n> Teleport to a specific entry number from a search. (You can also directly click on the entry line to teleport to it!)<\/p>\n<p>#### \/detect list <page> [<searchtype>|<[Material>|<BlockState>|<EntityType>]] &#8211; `entitydetection.command.list`<br \/>\n> List more pages of a previous search result. You can specify a type to see the last search of a specific type.<\/p>\n<p>#### \/detect stop &#8211; `entitydetection.command.stop`<br \/>\n> Stops the currently running search.<\/p>\n<p>### Search Types:<br \/>\n#### Monster<br \/>\n> All the monsters and slimes<\/p>\n<p>#### Passive<br \/>\n> All the animals, NPCs and golems as well as ambient and water mobs<\/p>\n<p>#### Misc<br \/>\n> Everything that is not a real mob: fireworks, boats, minecarts, projectiles, dropped items, ender signals and lightning strikes.<\/p>\n<p>##### Block (More like pseudo-block but that&#8217;s too long)<br \/>\n> Entities that behave more like blocks than entities: armor stands, ender crystals, paintings, item frames and falling blocks.<\/p>\n<p>#### Entity<br \/>\n> Search for all the entities, no matter what type they are<\/p>\n<p>#### Tile<br \/>\n> Search for all tile entities, no matter what type they are<\/p>\n<p>#### All<br \/>\n> Search for everything entities and tile entities\/blockstates, no matter what type they are<\/p>\n<p>#### <BlockState\/Material><br \/>\n> The categories aren&#8217;t enough? Then you can search for specific tile entities directly! This is done by either inputting the class name of their block state (which is case sensitive) or the Material name!<\/p>\n<p>#### <EntityType><br \/>\n> You can also search for the specific Bukkit entity type! Every single one is supported and can be combined with the other search types.<\/p>\n<p>If you have ideas how one of the types could be improved or for a new one just respond to the discussion thread or directly submit a pull request for a modification of the SearchType enum!<\/p>\n<p>### Donations:<br \/>\nProgramming is time intensive and I would really appreciate your support!<br \/>\nSo if you can afford it or make commercial use of this plugin feel free to buy me a beer: https:\/\/tip.phoenix616.dev<\/p>\n<p>### Source:<br \/>\nGithub &#8211; https:\/\/github.com\/Minebench\/EntityDetection\/<\/p>\n<p>### Dev Builds:<br \/>\nMinebench.de Jenkins &#8211; https:\/\/ci.minebench.de\/job\/EntityDetection\/<\/p>\n<p>### Possible Future Features:<br \/>\n&#8211; Removal of entities in chunks<br \/>\n&#8211; Alerts for automatic usage<br \/>\n&#8211; ~~Language file system~~ Implemented with 1.3<br \/>\n&#8211; Ignore specific worlds<br \/>\n&#8211; ~~Search for tile entities~~ Implemented with 1.1<br \/>\n&#8211; ~~WorldGuard region search~~ Implemented in 1.2<\/p>\n<p>##### *This resource is distributed without any warranty or liability by the author under the MPL-2.0*<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find groups of (tile) entities: Hoppers, Mobfarms, XP-Farms, Chicken-Breeder!
