Spawners

Spawners allow you to define specific points in your worlds at which your custom mob creations can spawn. They can with a variety of useful options, conditions and built-in timers, cooldowns and warmups. Note that in MythicSpawners you can only use the old conditions system. Here can you find them: Legacy Conditions

You can create spawners directly ingame by using Commands and by creating the a configuration file in the folder /MythicMobs/Spawners. Note that once a spawner-configuration file has been loaded onto a running server, it can only be edited by ingame commands. If you want to edit a already loaded spawner-configuration file in a text-editor, you have to stop the server in the meantime.

• Doesn't require natural mob spawning to be enabled to work.
• Allows for a much more specific and consistent implementation because you can specify exactly where and how each mob spawn.
• Support timers, leashing and other features.
• Good to populate small arenas or dungeons.

• Setup can be time consuming especially for larger implementations.
• Can become very difficult to manage if not planned out correctly.
• Mobs need to be configured appropriately.
• Despawn false isnt a option that is meant to be used in mythic spawners.

• mobtype <mobtype> or mobname: <mobtype>:
  • This is mob type that the spawner will spawn. Can only be set to any internal MythicMobs mob.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 mobtype GreaterSkeleton (Changes the mobtype from DecayingSkeleton to GreaterSkeleton)
• world: <worldname>:
  • This is the filename of the world where the spawner is located
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 world survivalworld (Changes the world where the spawner is located to survivalworld)
• spawnergroup: <group name>
  • This sets the group name for the spawn.
  • For larger configurations, such as if you are populating a dungeon, you can group all spawners together and then change settings for them all at the same time. If you have 20 spawners, this is the difference between typing 2 or 3 commands and 20 or 30 commands.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 group Ruins (Puts this spawner in the Ruins group)
  • Using the group command:
    • /mm s set g:Ruins warmup 300
    • Sets the warmup settings for all spawners in the ruins group to 300
• X: / Y: / Z:
  • Coordinates of the spawner
• radius: <number>:
  • This is the radius around the spawner at which the mob can spawn. setting to 0 will cause the mob to spawn exactly on its spawner. Setting it to 5 will allow the mob to spawn anywhere within a 5 block radius of the spawner.
  • This can be used to make mob spawns in large areas feel more random when large radius' are used.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 radius 5 (Sets the spawner to spawn mobs within a 5 block radius)
• radiusY: <number>:
  • This is the vertical radius around the spawner at which the mob can spawn. setting to 0 will cause the mob to spawn exactly on its spawner's Y level. Setting it to 5 will allow the mob to spawn anywhere within a vertical 5 block radius of the spawner.
  • This can be used to make mob spawns in large areas feel more random when large radius' are used.
  • Defaults to 0
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 radiusy 5 (Sets the spawner to spawn mobs within a vertical 5 block radius)
• usetimer: <true/false>:
  • Whether or not the spawner activates on a timer. Set to false to activate on command only
  • Defaults to true
• maxmobs: <number>:
  • This is the max number of mobs that can be spawned and existing in the world for this spawner. Should be set equal to or greater than the mobsperspawn settings.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 maxmobs 2 (Sets the spawner to allow a maximum of 2 mobs to be spawned)
• moblevel: <number>:
  • This is the level of the mob that should spawn from this spawner. Mob must have level configuration for this to work. Can only be a single level.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 moblevel 2 (Sets the spawner to spawn mobs of level 2)
• mobsperspawn: <number>:
  • This is the number of mobs spawned each time the spawner spawns a mob. This is limited by the maxmobs settings.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 mobsperspawn 2 (Sets the spawner to spawn 2 mobs each time)
• cooldown: <number>:
  • This the amount of time in seconds that the spawner waits after a mob has been spawned before another mob is spawned.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 cooldown 30 (Sets cooldown to 30 seconds)
  • Timing: warmup*> mob spawns*> cooldown*> mob spawns*>
• cooldowntimer: <number>:
  • This option is set automatically by the spawner, it does not require any user setting.
  • Used to bridge cooldowns over server reboots.
• warmup: <number>:
  • The amount of time in seconds before the spawner start cooldown. Warmup start on activation and if maxmobs is reached and a mob dies.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 warmup 300 (Sets warmup to 5 minutes)
• warmuptimer: <number>:
  • This option is set automatically by the spawner, it does not require any user setting.
  • Used to bridge warmups over server reboots.
• checkforplayers: <true/false>:
  • Whether or not players must be near the spawner for it to “activate”
  • Defaults to true for performance
• activationrange: <number>:
  • What radius must players be within for the spawner to activate.
  • Defaults to 40
• leashrange: <number>:
  • This is the max distance that a mob can move from its spawn location before it is teleported back to where it came from.
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 leashrange 15 (Sets leashrange to 15 blocks)
• healonleash: <true/false>
  • Whether the mob should heal to full health when it leashes back to its spawner
  • /mm s set Ruins_Skeleton1 healonleash true (Mobs spawned from this spawner will heal on leash)
• resetthreatonleash: <true/false>

• breakable: <true/false>:
