What it does

Spawner Control changes the monster spawner block through a configuration file. Server owners can edit speed, delay range limits, spawn rates and XP drops, and set limits that cap how spawners operate on the world. The config file exposes these options so the settings can match the needs of a particular server.

The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 38 release versions, 1.12.2 – 1.21.5. Files are under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source. Public links exist for an issue tracker and a wiki.

Key features

  1. Spawn rate settings

    The configuration file sets how quickly monster spawners produce mobs, adjusting the rate to the server's balance.

  2. Delay range limits

    Minimum and maximum spawn delay values can be capped so spawners do not fire too often or too rarely.

  3. XP drop control

    Experience drops from mobs spawned by a spawner can be changed or limited through the config.

  4. Configurable spawner limits

    Further limits on spawner behavior can be tuned, so owners can shape how many mobs a spawner generates over time.
