Armorstand despawn

This is a feature that admins can disable/enable. It's automatic entity wiping.

However, armour stands can be used to create crash chunks.

Neutral.

In the game of Minecraft, armour stands are considered entities. Armour stands get deleted when entities get wiped, they are not deleted on their own as a separate script.

I think we ought to figure out a way to make armor stands, item frames, paintings not killed by entity clears or find a different plugin to use for entity clears.

it’s always kind of felt like a boundary for builders that we just can’t use those

vouch

I'm happy for any changes to happen with armor stand and other related entities but the community (majority at least) must agree on a decision.

@Fleek#14975

What are all of the tile entities?

Vouch for paintings and item frames as well.

@UnderTails#14953 This.

Vouch

Vouch. The approach of "just wipe everything" used to be reasonable, but the server has been moving in a direction that no longer makes this the best approach.

@Fleek#14975 Armor stands are not tile entities, they are regular entities. A tile entity is something like a chest or a furnace. TFM has never had a way to automatically wipe tile entities.

Whoops, my bad - got few things mixed up. I have rephrased it to related entities

More input needed - I personally think we should be able to wipe armour stands given there are few 'annoying' stands around the server.

@Fleek#16019 Having the ability to do it is not the same thing as it happening automatically, which is what this suggestion is about.

@Fleek#16019 Armour stands are frequently used in building. Your comment might as well be "I think we should be able to wipe all sponge blocks, given there are few 'annoying' spronges around the server"

@Miwojedk#16058 /ro

@StevenNL2000#16057 Ah, I seem to misunderstood the proposal.

@wild1145#16066 Which doesn't speak against my point. /RO is only for emergencies, and in my opinion, should be seen as equal to wiping the world itself.

@Miwojedk#16136 it's a day to day admin tool. I agree it's an extreme one, but we regularly have tools on the free op server that are destructive in order to keep the server playable...

@wild1145#16138

And I would argue that tantamount to any use of /ro is harming the overall player experience (and thus general server popularity).

@Miwojedk#16183 Given the use-case that command was designed for, and having previously needed to use it myself to stabilise the server, it's one of those commands that are there for when things are so fucked up that the server just is not playable without removing specific blocks, it's less common I think now, but used to be something I remember having to use regularly...

Back to the topic though, if Armourstands can cause lag for clients when used in bulk, and are a common way to abuse, then I think on the FreeOP server it fully makes sense to have them auto-wiped on a regular basis, as we would for similar entities that cause lag to the server or clients.
