[Tekkit 3.1.3][Why are my pigmen aggressive?]

[Mista Panda]

I use mcmyadmin, ive set difficulty to easy, restarted a couple times. But despite that my users are being attacked when they enter the nether. Any ideas why and how i can fix this?

[LazDude2012]

Mista Panda, the issue is simple: someone aggravated the pigmen. The hostile/non-hostile status of the pigmen is server-wide, not per player. Any time someone aggro's the pigmen, they're aggro'd for the whole server. Just don't let anyone enter the Nether for a couple of days, and your problem will resolve itself.

Keep in mind that mining the nether ores near pigmen will set them hostile as well.

[Mista Panda]

Wow thanks for the help guys. So would it be optimal to wipe or kill the agro'ed mobs? then will it be safe again as long as no one mines etc?

[LazDude2012]

nope, you really have to wait a few days until the game resets the pigmen.

And don't let people mine nether ores. LOL

[Mista Panda]

Eh man that sucks ><

so i suppose not being there, which hence unloads the chunk dont reset the mobs that were inside the chunk"?

[LazDude2012]

No, I believe it is actually a function of time. Like, I'm fairly sure it checks to see how long it has been since a player was in the chunk. Just wait it out.

[Mista Panda]

Ahh kk thanks for everyones help

Also in the future, you might want to disable mining of the nether ore. Either that, or the zombie pigmen.

Or just deal with them for unlimited gold a nugget at a time, grant it they are one of the most nasty of mobs in the game other then the wither.

[Chefsbrian]

Or, rather than poking holes in all this stuff, and disabling or forbidding stuff, just clearly state that the nether is to be ventured in at your own peril. Nether ores can be incredibly profitable, you just gotta have the gear to fight your way back out. Its no fun to say "This is dangerous, lets stop it", its more fun to say "This is dangerous, but there's treasures aplenty to be found"
