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

  • /spawnershopCharged variants that consume charges when they spawn mobs.
  • CratesUnlimited 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

  1. Open the spawner’s Upgrade/Charges menu (sneak-right-click or right-click, depending on prompts).
  2. Choose the Charges section and purchase the pack you want.

⬆️ Upgrades (Levels & Pricing)

Each spawner has three upgrade tracks. Costs are paid in XP.

🔧 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.
