DontSpawn!

# DontSpawn (Paper Plugin) **DontSpawn** is a lightweight yet powerful Paper plugin that provides advanced, fine-grained control over entity spawning. Create flexible rules to block spawns globally or based on specific contexts such as world, biome, region, or spawn reason — all managed through a clean and intuitive `/dt` command system. Built for modern Paper servers with performance and scalability in mind. --- ## Features - Block entity spawns by scope: - Global - World - Biome - Region - SpawnReason - Region selection system with a wand (no manual coordinate typing). - Per-player region border preview using particles (only visible to the viewing player). - Persistent JSON storage (`regions.json`, `rules.json`). - Optimized spawn listener designed for high-performance servers. - Clean, structured command architecture. --- ## Requirements - **Server:** Paper (Minecraft 1.21.x, tested on 1.21.1) - **Java:** Java 21 recommended for 1.21.x servers --- ## Installation 1. Download the plugin `.jar` file. 2. Place it inside your server’s `plugins/` folder. 3. Restart the server. 4. Use `/dt` to manage rules and regions. --- ## Commands **Main command:** `/dontspawn` **Aliases:** `/dt`, `/ds` --- ### Spawn Rules ``` /dt disable <global|world|region|biome|reason> <entity> /dt enable <global|world|region|biome|reason> <entity> /dt list /dt info /dt reload ``` #### Examples ``` /dt disable global ZOMBIE /dt disable world SKELETON world /dt disable biome SPIDER PLAINS /dt disable reason ZOMBIE SPAWNER /dt disable region CREEPER spawn ``` Use `enable` with the same arguments to revert a rule. --- ## Regions (Wand + Preview) ``` /dt wand ``` - Left-click a block → Position 1 - Right-click a block → Position 2 After selecting both corners, the plugin will guide you to finalize and save the region. ``` /dt view ``` Toggle region border visualization for yourself using particle outlines. --- ## Permissions Permissions use the `dontspawn.*` namespace, including: - `dontspawn.disable` - `dontspawn.enable` - `dontspawn.wand` - `dontspawn.view` - `dontspawn.reload` - and others as needed --- ## Data Files DontSpawn stores persistent data inside its plugin folder: - `regions.json` — Saved regions - `rules.json` — Saved spawn rules --- ## Support & Issues **Source Code:** https://github.com/zHolyWhite/DontSpawn **Bug Reports:** https://github.com/zHolyWhite/DontSpawn/issues When reporting an issue, please include: - Paper build/version - Plugin version - Full console stacktrace - Steps to reproduce
