FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about EliteSpawner.
Can't find what you're looking for? Our Support page will point you to a real person.
Does EliteSpawner spawn real mobs?
No. Vanilla spawning is cancelled before a mob ever appears. Every drop and every bit of experience comes from the spawner's loot table and goes straight into its storage. See How it works.
Do I need Vault or any other plugin?
No. Every integration is optional. Without an economy plugin, selling uses prices.yml, and spawners are protected without any protection plugin. See Integrations.
Can players duplicate items through the storage menu?
EliteSpawner is built to stop that. Every spawner's data is kept in sync, and items are always reserved before they're handed out, including on Folia.
Can spawners be shared across my network?
Yes. Switch the storage type to MySQL and point every server at the same database. See Storage & networks.
Will an update overwrite my config?
No. New settings are added to your existing files after a backup is made, and your own changes stay as they are.
A spawner isn't making anything. What should I check?
Run /esp debug. It explains every cycle: whether the spawner was active, what it rolled, and whether storage was full. Also check the activation mode in config.yml, since spawners might only run while a player is nearby.
Can I have more than one spawner for the same mob?
Yes. Types are names, not mobs, so zombie and elite_zombie can both be zombies with different loot and experience. See Spawner types.
Can natural spawners from world generation be converted?
Yes, per world. Once it's on, natural spawners are converted as their chunks load. Use /esp convert [world] to convert loaded chunks right away.
Where's the cheapest place to buy it?
The DenizenMC Store. Buying direct is 10% cheaper than the marketplaces, with the same updates and support.
Will thousands of spawners lag my server?
No. Every spawner shares one tick loop that only touches the spawners due that tick, and nothing runs for spawners nobody is near unless you choose the always activation mode. Run /esp debug stats to see the numbers on your own server.
Can I use items from Nexo, Oraxen, ItemsAdder or EcoItems?
Yes, plus other eco plugins, MMOItems, MythicMobs and HeadDatabase. They work as drops, icons, prices and even as the spawner item itself. See Custom items.
