Spawners
TL;DR – Buy a spawner in /spawnershop
. Place it, then open its Upgrade panel to level it and buy charges.
Charges are the fuel for spawning; unlimited variants come from Crates. You can mine your own spawners (Silk Touch).
Use /spawnertrust
to allow friends to open/upgrade your spawners.
🛒 Where to Get Spawners
/spawnershop
— Charged variants that consume charges when they spawn mobs.- Crates — Unlimited variants with ∞ usage (no charges needed).
- Events / Kits — Occasional rewards.
Limits & stacking
- 4 spawners per chunk (any type).
- Same-type spawners can stack up to 4 on one block.
- Stacks require equal charge counts (different-charge spawners won’t stack).
⚡ Charges (the Fuel System)
Shop spawners consume charges every time they spawn. When empty, they stop until you recharge.
- Consumes:
1
charge per spawn (default). - Requires: at least
1
charge to operate. - Buy amounts: Left-click = 500, Right-click = 1000 charges.
- Price: $2 per charge base; price scales with spawner level.
- Unlimited spawners (from Crates) ignore charges.
How to refill
- Open the spawner’s Upgrade/Charges menu (sneak-right-click or right-click, depending on prompts).
- Choose the Charges section and purchase the pack you want.
⬆️ Upgrades (Levels & Pricing)
Each spawner has three upgrade tracks. Costs are paid in XP.
Track | Levels | Base value → per level | Base XP cost → per level |
---|---|---|---|
Range | 5 | 16 blocks → +4 / lvl | 100 XP → +50 / lvl |
Delay | 2 | 25s → –3.75s / lvl | 150 XP → +75 / lvl |
Amount | 2 | 4 mobs → +1 / lvl | 200 XP → +100 / lvl |
Price growth type: Addition (cost increases by the listed amount each level).
Some entities (e.g., Iron Golem) have custom base values (e.g., longer delay).
🔧 Managing Your Spawners
Trust & Access
/spawnertrust
— open the trust menu / guide.- Trusted players can open / upgrade / change / stack / break your spawners (owner retains control).
SpawnerTrust subcommands
/spawnertrust add [player]
– Add a trusted player.
/spawnertrust remove [player]
– Remove a trusted player.
/spawnertrust clear
– Remove all trusted players.
/spawnertrust view
– View all trusted players.
Mining & Breaking
- Player-placed spawners: break with Silk Touch I+, 100% drop.
- Natural/dungeon spawners: cannot be mined on this server.
- Drops land on the ground; make room in your inventory.
Explosions
- TNT / Creepers / Fireballs / End Crystals / Wither can break & drop player spawners. Protect against raid.
- Natural spawners do not drop via explosions here.
On/Off, Warnings & Owner Presence
- You can toggle a spawner on/off in its upgrade menu.
- If blocked or out of fuel, a warning hologram appears.
Changing Type (spawn eggs)
- Disabled — changing spawner type with spawn eggs isn’t available on this server.
📏 Limits, Stacking & Nearby Caps
- Chunk limit: 4 spawners per chunk.
- Stack size: up to 4 same-type spawners on one block (equal charges required).
- Nearby entities cap: if too many mobs are within range (≈ 8), the spawner pauses until cleared.
- Spawn pattern: entities spread around the spawner in a small radius.
🧪 Quick Examples
Buy & place a charged spawner
/spawnershop
– pick a type → place it → open the spawner menu → buy 500/1000 charges → upgrade Range / Delay / Amount with XP.
Trust a friend to help
/spawnertrust <player>
– grant them access to open & upgrade.
Mine your spawner safely
- Use a Silk Touch pickaxe → break → collect the dropped spawner.
🧰 Troubleshooting
- “It stopped spawning.” → Out of charges (buy more) or mob cap/space reached.
- “Can’t break it.” → Use Silk Touch, or it isn’t yours / you’re not trusted.
- “Too many here.” → Respect the 4 per chunk limit and avoid crowding mobs near the spawner.
