Troubleshooting

This guide covers the most common issues encountered when using RS-MobStand and provides steps to resolve them.


Mob Stand Will Not Convert

Symptoms

  • Sneak-right-clicking an Armor Stand does nothing.
  • The conversion does not occur.

Check

Verify that:

  • You are holding a Stick.
  • You are sneaking.
  • You have the required permission.
  • The target is a normal Armor Stand.

Solution

Ensure you are:

Sneaking
+
Holding a Stick
+
Right-Clicking an Armor Stand

Cannot Open Mob Stand Menu

Symptoms

  • Right-clicking a Mob Stand does nothing.
  • The menu does not appear.

Check

Verify that:

  • The stand is already converted.
  • You own the Mob Stand.
  • You have permission to use Mob Stands.

Solution

Try interacting with a Mob Stand that you own.

Administrators can bypass ownership restrictions using:

rsmobstand.admin

"You Do Not Own This Mob Stand"

Symptoms

You receive an ownership error message.

Cause

The Mob Stand belongs to another player.

Solution

  • Use your own Mob Stand.
  • Ask the owner for assistance.
  • Have an administrator assist you.

Administrators with:

rsmobstand.admin

may bypass ownership restrictions.


Mob Stand Is Not Processing Mobs

Check Pause Status

Verify the Mob Stand is not paused.

Open:

Main Menu
    ↓
Pause / Resume

and ensure processing is enabled.


Check Radius

Verify the configured radius is large enough to reach the intended mobs.

Open:

Main Menu
    ↓
Radius

and review the current value.


Check Filters

Verify the mob type is enabled in the appropriate filter menu.

Review:

  • Adult Filters
  • Baby Filters

If a mob is disabled in filters, it will be ignored.


Check Leave Alive

Verify the Leave Alive setting is not preventing additional processing.

Example:

Leave Alive: 10

If only ten matching mobs exist, no additional processing will occur.


Mobs Are Being Ignored

Cause

The mob type may be disabled in filters.

Solution

Open:

Adult Filters

or

Baby Filters

and verify the desired mob type is enabled.


Gravity Is Not Working As Expected

Cause

Gravity may be disabled.

Solution

Open:

Main Menu
    ↓
Gravity

and verify the current setting.


Configuration Changes Are Not Taking Effect

Cause

The configuration may not have been reloaded.

Solution

Administrators can use:

Admin Menu
    ↓
Reload Config

after making configuration changes.


Version Status Shows "Unable To Check"

Cause

The plugin could not contact the update source.

Possible reasons:

  • No internet access
  • GitHub unavailable
  • Repository is private

Solution

This does not affect plugin operation.

RS-MobStand will continue functioning normally.


Server Performance Concerns

Recommendations

  • Avoid excessively large radius values.
  • Use filters to limit processing.
  • Only create Mob Stands where needed.
  • Review server performance regularly.
