DG Spawners

# DGspawners A complete spawner plugin for Paper 1.21+. GUI shop, smart upgrades, virtual storage, auto-collect, holograms, trust system. Free and open source. (https://discord.gg/ZZhVKUtSNS) ## What it does Players buy spawners from a paginated GUI shop, place them on any block (no grass/biome restrictions), and upgrade them with three core stats: mob count, spawn range, spawn speed. Right-click any placed spawner to open the upgrade menu. Auto-Collect mode kills spawned mobs instantly and routes their loot and XP into virtual storage attached to each spawner. No entity lag, no item lag, no slowdowns even with hundreds of active spawners. ## Features - **74+ pre-configured mob spawners** with per-spawner pricing, permissions, icons, and lore - **GUI upgrade menu**: mob count, spawn range, spawn speed, all with configurable max levels and exponential cost scaling - **Auto-Collect**: kill mobs instantly, store loot and XP virtually - **Virtual item storage**: paginated GUI, withdraw single stacks or everything, upgradeable capacity - **Virtual XP tank**: withdraw all or in safe 30-level chunks, upgradeable capacity - **Trust system**: share spawner access with friends through a clean GUI - **Floating holograms**: live info above each spawner, toggleable per-spawner by the owner - **Empty Spawner + Conversion GUI**: silk touch drops a clean Empty Spawner that converts to any mob at a discounted price - **Tiered silk touch chances**: permissions from 5% to 100% for mining vanilla spawners - **Place anywhere**: cow spawners on stone, fish spawners on netherrack, no vanilla placement rules - **Per-player limits** with permission tiers - **Anti-grief**: protected from creepers, TNT, end crystals, pistons ## Performance DGspawners replaces vanilla spawner ticking with a single optimized task. Spawners in unloaded chunks or with no players nearby cost nothing. Save operations are async. Verified clean on servers with 500+ active spawners. ## Commands - `/spawners` opens the shop - `/spawners list` shows your placed spawners - `/spawners tp <id>` teleports to one of yours (requires permission) - `/spawners info` your spawner count and balance - `/sadmin reload | give | info | remove | top` admin tools ## Permissions **Core** - `dgspawners.shop` access the spawner shop (default: true) - `dgspawners.place` place custom spawners (default: true) - `dgspawners.break` break your own custom spawners (default: true) - `dgspawners.upgrade` use the upgrade menu (default: true) - `dgspawners.tp` use `/spawners tp` (default: false) - `dgspawners.admin` admin commands (default: op) **Per-mob shop access** - `dgspawners.spawner.<mob>` access a specific mob in the shop (e.g. `dgspawners.spawner.zombie`) - `dgspawners.spawner.*` access ALL spawner types (default: op) **Placement limits** (tiered, all default false except bypass) - `dgspawners.limit.25` up to 25 spawners - `dgspawners.limit.50` up to 50 spawners - `dgspawners.limit.100` up to 100 spawners - `dgspawners.limit.bypass` no limit (default: op) **Silk touch on vanilla spawners** (tiered chance to mine successfully) - `dgspawners.silkspawner.5` 5% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.10` 10% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.20` 20% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.40` 40% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.60` 60% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.80` 80% chance - `dgspawners.silkspawner.100` guaranteed (default: op) A successful silk touch drops an Empty Spawner.
