WerseMobCounter

A lightweight Minecraft plugin that counts mobs inside WorldGuard regions and exposes the numbers via PlaceholderAPI. It also includes a tiny “Actions” engine that can run console commands when a numeric condition (based on placeholders) is met.

Features

• 
  Count mobs inside a specific WorldGuard region
  • 
    Vanilla mobs
    MythicMobs (all)
    MythicMobs by type (e.g. skeletal_knight)
  Clean placeholder format that supports region names with _ or - (no brittle string splits)
  Built-in Actions scheduler:
  • 
    Evaluate a placeholder expression on a fixed tick interval
    Run console commands when the condition is true
  • Per-action ENABLED toggle

Requirements

• 
  Paper/Spigot (1.20–1.21 recommended)
  WorldGuard
  PlaceholderAPI
  MythicMobs (only required for Mythic counts)

Tip: If these are hard requirements for your environment, list them under depend: in plugin.yml. If you want to allow running without some of them, use softdepend: and handle missing features gracefully.

Installation

1. 
   Drop WerseMobCounter.jar into plugins/.
   Restart the server (full restart; avoid /reload).
2. Edit config.yml if needed, then restart again.

Placeholders

All placeholders follow:
Variants

• 
  %wersemobscounter_<WG_ID>_mobs_total% — total mobs in the region (vanilla + Mythic)
  %wersemobscounter_<WG_ID>[I]mobs_vanilla% — vanilla mobs only (non-Mythic)
• %wersemobscounter[/I]<WG_ID>[I]mobs_mythick_total% — all MythicMobs in the region
• %wersemobscounter[/I]<WG_ID>[I]mobs_mythick[/I]<MYTHIC_TYPE_ID>% — MythicMobs of a specific type

Note: The parser treats everything between wersemobscounter_ and [I]mobs[/I] as the region name, so IDs like arena-pvp or town_center work out of the box.

Examples
Quick test
You should see a number (e.g. 0, 2, 7, …).

Actions (conditional console commands)

Define actions in config.yml. Each action:

• 
  has an ENABLED flag,
  checks CONDITION every TRY_EVERY ticks,
• runs all COMMANDS_IF_TRUE as console when the condition evaluates to true.

Supported operators
Numeric comparisons: >, <, >=, <=, =, ==

Conditions are parsed as:
where the left expression can be a PlaceholderAPI string that resolves to a number, e.g.:
Example config.yml
Debugging
With debugging on, the console will show each evaluation tick:
Troubleshooting

• 
  Placeholder always returns 0
  • 
    Verify the exact WorldGuard region ID (/rg list).
    Make sure the region exists in the world you expect.
    For Mythic types, confirm the internal type ID in MythicMobs.
  Actions do not fire
  • 
    Ensure ENABLED: true, the condition is numeric and resolves correctly, and TRY_EVERY > 0.
    Turn on DEBUG_ACTIONS to see evaluations.
  
  Missing plugin warnings
  • Check your startup log. If you used depend:, the server won’t enable WerseMobCounter without the listed dependencies.

Notes

• 
  Placeholders are implemented to work without a player context by using onRequest(OfflinePlayer, ...) and requiresPlayer() == false.
  Region parsing is robust: the engine looks for the pivot substring [I]mobs[/I] and treats everything before it as the region name.

Enjoy and feel free to tweak the config to your needs!
