Anti Silverfish Farm

Title: Anti-Silverfish-Farm | Fully Configurable Infested Effect Control [1.21+]




Overview


Are you concerned about the new Infested effect from Minecraft 1.21 being used for easy, overpowered XP and item farms? Anti-Silverfish-Farm is the simple, lightweight, and highly effective solution you need.

This plugin gives you complete control, allowing you to disable silverfish spawns from specific mobs affected by the Infested status effect, all through a simple configuration file. It does not block damage, allowing for normal gameplay while surgically removing the farm exploit.



How It Works


Instead of crudely blocking all damage to infested mobs, this plugin intelligently monitors for new entity spawns.

1. When a Silverfish attempts to spawn...
   
   
2. The plugin checks if there is a nearby entity that has the Infested effect.
   
   
3. If that nearby entity's type is listed in your config file...
   
   
4. The Silverfish spawn is cancelled.
   

The result? Players can still damage and kill mobs, but the exploitable farm mechanic is completely neutralized. ✅



Features ⚙️

• Fully Configurable: You decide which entities are protected! Add any mob type to the blocked-entities list in the config.
  
  
• Extremely Lightweight: The plugin only acts during the EntitySpawnEvent for Silverfish, meaning it has virtually zero impact on your server's performance.
  
  
• Does Not Block Damage: Mobs can still be damaged and killed by players and the environment, preserving vanilla gameplay.
  
  
• Reload Command: Instantly apply your config changes with a simple command. No restart required!
  
  
• Permissions Ready: Control who can reload the plugin.
