Multiverse and Bukkit Settings are Different (1.16)

[csev1755]

I've found that after updating to 1.16.1, monsters are no longer spawning in any of my worlds. When I change it back with the /mv modify set command, it reverts back on a server restart. The Multiverse Setting is always true, but the Bukkit Setting gets reset with every restart.

[15:45:16 INFO]: --- Monster Settings ---
[15:45:16 INFO]: Multiverse Setting: true
[15:45:16 INFO]: Bukkit Setting: false
[15:45:16 INFO]: Monsters that CAN spawn: ALL

The bukkit setting stems from the server.properties/bukkit.yml or a different plugin changing that via the api. Did you test without any other plugin and the default configs?

This is happening to me too, our server is live so I'm not able to remove everything and test. Every time I restart the server, mob spawning stops in all of our worlds. The settings in multiverse worlds.yml are always set to true. I'm not sure how to access the monster settings shown above. Would appreciate any thoughts/solutions :)

[Brokkonaut]

I can confirm this is happening in 1.16. Not sure if its a server bug or some plugin is resetting the value.

Strangely for some worlds on my server the setting was synced, but for some other worlds it is not.
"/mv reload" helps to sync the mob spawning settings, but currently i have to use it after every server start.

Can confirm, this exact same thing is happening on my server too. Server.properties has spawn-monsters=true. Using /mv reload fixes the issue but restarting the server causes it to come up again. I can use /mv info 3 to see the multiverse setting for monsters is true but the bukkit setting is false. I do have access to a test environment though, if we think another plugin might be causing it.

Just to provide my own two cents: This does not happen to me using Multiverse-Core 4.1.0-b775 and Paper b101.

Can you post your list of plugins? Here's mine:

Luckperms 5.1.26
AnnouncementsEverywhere 4.0.3
Vault 1.7.2-b107
Multiverse-Core 4.1.0-b775
MassiveCore 3.3.0
WorldEdit 7.2.0-beta2
EssentialsX 2.18.0.0
Multiverse-Inventories 3.0.0-b459
EssentialsXChat 2.18.0.0
EssentialsXAntiBuild 2.18.0.0
PVPArena 1.14.0
Multiverse-Portals 4.1.0-b805
WorldGuard 7.0.3;5407315
Factions 3.3.0
EssentialsXProtect 2.18.0.0
Multiverse-NetherPortals 4.1.0-b763

[Phoenix616]

Can you post your list of plugins?

No, they are too many (and mostly not even widely used/public so the list itself would be pointless) and have nothing to do with your bug as none of my plugins touches that setting.

Out of your plugins I don't use the following though so maybe test without them (and with Paper):
AnnouncementsEverywhere 4.0.3
MassiveCore 3.3.0
Multiverse-Inventories 3.0.0-b459
EssentialsXChat 2.18.0.0
EssentialsXAntiBuild 2.18.0.0
PVPArena 1.14.0
Factions 3.3.0
EssentialsXProtect 2.18.0.0

I removed all plugins in my test env except Multiverse-Core, used the latest Paper build (#110), and still have the same issue.
You can see the value changing in the attached log snippet. This is right after startup completes, and no players are connected.

[csev1755]

I'm still having the same issue in Paper #110, but /mv reload does help.

[csev1755]

I decided to do some testing on a completely fresh instance of Paper #135 and Multiverse Core 4.1.0.

After installing, I tried setting the monsters to false on the initial "world" world. After a restart, it remembered the change. I then created a new overworld called "test." I set the monsters to false and reset the server. When it rebooted, it remembered the setting for "test" but not for "world." /mv reload fixed it as expected.

Hopefully someone can reproduce the problem with my steps.

[DeathChain01]

I'm experiencing this too, both in git-Spigot-17d78db-f8d4da0 and Paper build 204 with MV2 Core build 793. It happened with Paper 202, 101, and earlier Spigot and Paper 1.16.x versions as well.

I can provide or test whatever you want.

[nicegamer7]

If you've got the time, can you try it on older versions of Minecraft, like 1.15, 1.14, and 1.13?

[Brokkonaut]

The issue exists since 1.16.

[nicegamer7]

I just wanted to be sure that the Multiverse and Bukkit settings were the same on older versions of Minecraft.

[DeathChain01]

If you've got the time, can you try it on older versions of Minecraft, like 1.15, 1.14, and 1.13?

Been running MV2 Core since MC 1.8, this is the first time this problem ever manifested. Never happened in 1.15, 1.14, 1.13, or older versions. The world configuration I currently have has been largely the same (about 12 or so worlds) since 1.13 with the addition of one more a few months ago, which the problem predates.

(I can spin it up again anyway if you really want me to though.)
