Introduction

What ExyliaSpawners is, how a spawner works in it, what ships in 1.0.0 and how this documentation is organised.

ExyliaSpawners turns spawners into a survival economy that cannot be duplicated. A spawner is mined with Silk Touch and goes straight into the player's inventory, stacks into one block, and produces while its owner is near: loot and experience land in a storage with a cap instead of mobs on the floor. From one screen the owner takes the loot, claims the experience, sells everything, buys upgrades, inserts boosters and trusts friends. A spawner left running for hours slowly corrupts and has to be cleansed on site.

It is a premium plugin, installed through a licence loader. See Installation.

How a spawner works

  • Obtaining. Mining with a pickaxe that carries Silk Touch gives the spawner as an item, straight into the inventory. Explosions take one spawner off a stack. Dungeon spawners become ExyliaSpawners the first time someone clicks or mines them. Staff give spawners with a command.
  • Stacking. Right-clicking a placed spawner with a matching item adds one; sneaking adds the whole item. The stack produces as one block, so a farm of a hundred spawners is one block and one storage.
  • Producing. While a player is within 16 blocks, every cycle the stack makes mobs. In the default VIRTUAL mode no mob appears: their loot and experience go into the storage. CLASSIC mode spawns real mobs next to the block instead.
  • Selling. Storage sells at the price the server's shops and worth lists quote, through ExyliaLib. Money always goes to the spawner's owner, whoever sells.

What is included

Built not to be duplicated

  • Every spawner item carries a unique id recorded in the database. An item placed twice, copied, or edited is refused and reported to staff, also across servers.
  • Taking, selling and claiming experience are transactions on the storage: a double click, two players on the same screen or a repeated packet never pay twice.
  • Pistons, explosions and chunk unloads cannot move or delete a spawner behind the plugin's back, and production is written to the database on a timer, on chunk unload and on shutdown.
