Spawners

The <spawners> module provides an easy way of spawning items and splash potions into the world, without using actual spawner blocks with NBT editors.

The module uses the same syntax as Kits to define items and makes use of a specific region to spawn them in.

info

Currently, only dropped items and splash potions are supported by this module. Other types of entities may be supported in the future.

Examples

This will spawn golden swords (in stacks of 1) in the red base, provided there is at least 1 person in that base. The swords will spawn in ramdom intervals of 2s - 10s. The filter insures that only players on the red team can trigger the spawner.

<spawners>
    <spawner spawn-region="red-base" player-region="red-base" max-entities="50" min-delay="2s" max-delay="10s" filter="only-red">
        <item amount="1" name="`6Golden Sword" material="gold sword"/>
    </spawner>
</spawners>

This will spawn a single splash potion that gives players Absorption III, Speed II and Jump Boost II. The speed and jump boost effects will both last 10 seconds and aborbtion will last 60 seconds. The damage attribute will give the potion a red appeareance based on Potion Values.
