SmartSpawner - Version 1.5.6
What's New
✨ New Feature: Item Spawners
What are Item Spawners?
- New spawner type with the appearance of a specific item in the spawner block
- All the same features as regular spawner spawners (storage, stack, etc.)
Configuration
New Item Spawner Settings File
- Added item_spawners_settings.yml for full control over item spawner behavior
- Customize spawn loots, experience, and other settings
- New command: /ss give item_spawner <player> <item_type> [amount]
Bug Fixes
Fixed Storage GUI Page Display Issues
- Problem: When you removed items from your spawner storage, the page counter at the top would sometimes show weird placeholders like [{current_page}/{total_pages}] instead of the actual page numbers like [1/1]
- What fixed:
- Page numbers now always display correctly when you take items out of storage
- When your spawner generates loot while you have the storage open, the page counter updates properly
- The GUI title now always shows the right page you're on and total pages available
️ Security & Performance Improvements
Added Anti-Spam Protection for Storage GUI
- What this means: We've added a short cooldown (half a second) between opening and closing your spawner storage
- Why this helps: Prevents issues with cheater try to spam-click or use macros in GUIs
- Your experience: You won't even notice this - it only blocks actions that happen too fast to be intentional
Optimized Storage Title Updates
- What changed: The plugin now only updates the page counter when it actually needs to (like when moving between pages)
- Benefit: Better performance, especially if you have many items in storage
Developer Features
New API Methods for Custom Spawners
Plugin developers can now create:
- Vanilla Spawners: Natural spawners that spawn mob
- Item Spawners: Special spawners with the appearance of a specific item in the spawner block
Summary
This is a major feature update! We've introduced Item Spawners - a completely new way to use spawners for automatic item generation. Plus, we fixed annoying storage GUI display bugs, added protection against spam-clicking, and improved overall performance.
Upgrade highly recommended: New features + important bug fixes and stability improvements.
