Spawner Commands
Spawners allow to control the entity spawning in the specific area.
The following groups are available for the spawner:
- owner.
Owner defines who can change the properties of the spawner after its creation. The owner group is initially set to the group set to allow-build in the spawner's area (zone or world).
Instead of using a specific name of the spawner a $-symbol could be used. In this case the command will be applied to the spawner located at the current player's location.
Spawners Video Tutorial​
Create a Spawner​
/share spawner $name create
This command must be executed when the selection is available (share select command). If a selection available, the command creates a new spawner with a given $name.
After the spawner is created some entities should be added to it to start their spawning.
The spawners can only be built by the player with the allow-build group in the current area.
The spawner must lay in the homogenous area (the same zone or no-zone area) and the size is restricted for non-world-owners.
Put/Remove Entities​
/share spawner $name entity-set $entity-name $count
Adds ($count>0) or removes ($count=0) a minecraft entity (PILLAGER, VINDICATOR, etc.) to the spawner.
The name of the available entity-names is provided in the command auto-completion.
The count specify how many entities should be maintained in the spawner.
The number of entities is maintained as provided. If some of the entities escape the spawner area - they are despawned, if the number of entities drops below the given count (killed, despawned) - they will be re respawned.
Set Group​
/share spawner $name group-set owner [$group-name]
Sets a respective group to the spawner. owner is a set of players who can change the spawner properties.
If the $group-name is not provided the group is removed, which makes it available to everyone.
The group with the group-name should be available. Create it in advance if needed (see share group create command).
The owner group is set initially to be the same as the allow-build group in the current player's area.
