Hello Jared!
In skyfactory v3.0.5 we suddenly have a large collection of com.blamejared.clumps.entities.EntityXPOrbBig floating around my base. Even if there is no where they could originate.

[20:06:02] [Server thread/INFO]: com.blamejared.clumps.entities.EntityXPOrbBig: 3101

They are big and blue and keeps falling from the sky :) Like a 100 blocks over my base.

Server crash log: http://termbin.com/951t

Hmm, do you have anything that is spawning XP orbs? like a mob farm or something?

Also what happens if you throw an experience bottle near the orbs?

So I finally got time to test it with 1.0.3. It seems that removed the orbs or something but I still had 9 orbs floating around my base, just walking over them gave me level 100 from 0.

some of the output of fml-latest grepped with clumps

there is a mob farm close, but there is a vacuum hopper capturing all the xp.

Quetzi had a theory that it is an xp orb on a stair block trying to path find and that makes it all out of whack. And I have some chickens closet o the stairs that I kill when I get better stats.

It sounds plausible to me and according to the crash report he said it looks like that is the case.

hhm, interesting, what forge version?

Forge Mod Loader version 12.18.3.2215 for Minecraft 1.10.2 loading

ah ok that does explain why I was led to a dead end when looking at that trace, I'm builing on 2202, anyway I'll do some tests, but from what I can see, this should also affect vanilla XP orbs

Do you have any stair blocks around?

yes, loads actually :)
Its an regular skyfactory 3.0.5 server with the forge version supplied. If thats not recommended maybe it should be mentioned to Darkosto.

well no, I'm just building on an older forge, so I just need to update it my side, could you send me a picture of the stairs by chance? So I can try replicate it

sure, no problem

there is an album, you can see the xp orbs bouncing everywhere, and I havent killed anything there at all since we cleared all the enteties last. I have been logged off in fact.

Don't suppose You can get Q to install a custom clumps version to check if it is fixed?

if you give me the link to the file I can test it in off hours tomorrow on the server.

ok cool, so try this version
http://ss.blamejared.com/Clumps-1.0.3.jar
it should fix it, if not, it will help with the cleanup

Im not convinced it fixed the issue. The clumps were just gathering closer together yes. But why do they keep appearing and duping there?

Well that may be because of a mod interaction, what Clumps actually does is, when an XP orb is spawned, it replaces it(https://github.com/jaredlll08/Clumps/blob/master/src/main/java/com/blamejared/clumps/events/CommonEventHandler.java#L16-L26), so I'm willing to bet that even without Clumps, there would still be XP orbs everywhere

Yeah that could be, I just wish there was a way to clear all the orbs from console or something :) I cant play now since they are now back at over 3k orbs since I tried the new version yesterday and reverted.

so there is a vanilla command to kill enteties.
I tried that :)
/kill @e[type=item or entity]

So I did /kill @e[type=EntityXPOrbBig]

That killed EVERY entity in the game..worms, players, sparks and orbs

Just ask Quetzi I guess? :)

I've rebuilt my base now, removed the stairs and leveld it out, see if that helps :) let you know tomorrow!

ah ok, I left some debug output in, so this version made it a bit less restrictive for if orbs can clump together, so fixed?

closing this because I never got feedback, also I made a change that made clumping entities more lenient
