Hello everyone! We are bringing you a huge update that is guaranteed to make it easier to change mobs in spawners, set their spawn speed and soon also the difficulty of mobs
We really hope that you will enjoy this update and that you will use the new features as you need them.

Added:
✅ - Multi-Version Support:
– Full support for Minecraft versions 1.20 and 1.21 with new mob spawn eggs.
– On older versions (Coming Soon>1.17, 1.18<Coming Soon, 1.19), only basic mobs (Zombie, Skeleton, Creeper, Spider, Villager, Enderman) are enabled; unsupported mobs show as a barrier with an appropriate message.
✅ - GUI System:
– Added a GUI for spawner management, accessible via shift+click (requires the permission silkyspawner.gui or admin rights).
– Separate submenus for changing mob type and setting spawn speed, with pagination support for the mob menu.
✅ - Data Persistence:
– Spawner settings (owner, mob type, spawn speed, difficulty, lock status) are stored in a spawners.yaml file, ensuring that custom settings persist across server restarts.
✅ - Enhanced Permission Checks:
– Detailed permission nodes for each function (e.g., changing mob type, setting spawn speed) so that server owners can finely tune access.

Improvements:
⚠️- Code Refactoring:
– The code has been optimized and refactored for clarity and maintainability. Duplicate methods have been consolidated.
⚠️- Console Logging:
– Improved startup messages, including a clear frame showing the detected server version and support status.
⚠️- Configuration:
– Expanded configuration file with detailed options for messages, sounds, particles, and GUI elements.

Fixed:
⚡ - Permission Issues:
– Fixed problems where mob and speed selection did not properly check permissions. Now, if a player lacks the required permission (e.g., silkyspawner.mob.zombie or silkyspawner.speed.5), the GUI reflects this and prevents changes.
⚡ - Data Loading/Saving:
– Resolved issues with spawner data persistence to ensure settings are correctly saved and reloaded from spawners.yaml.

Thank you for using our plugin. There will be another update coming soon that will allow you to lock the spawner, anti-theft, gui settings and overall protection of the spawner. Also the next update will bring with it support for lower versions.
