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](/commands and permissions) 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.

Pros of Spawners

  • 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.

Cons of Spawners

  • 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.

world: <worldname>: This is the filename of the world where the spawner is located /mm s set world Creation World
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 and then change the settings for them all at the same time. /mm s set g: N/A
X: / Y: / Z: Coordinates of the spawner Creation Location
radius: <number> This is the radius around the spawner at which the mob can spawn. /mm s set radius 0
radiusY: <number> This is the vertical radius around the spawner at which the mob can spawn /mm s set radiusy 0
usetimer: <true/false> Whether or not the spawner activates on a timer. /mm s set usetimer <true/false> True
maxmobs: <number> This is the max number of mobs that can be spawned and existing in the world for this spawner. Must be equal to or greater than mobsperspawn /mm s set maxmobs 1
