- Support for all spawnable Minecraft mobs
- Configurable spawn rates and distances
- Limit the number of mobs per spawner to prevent lag
- Simple command interface with tab completion
- Persistent spawners that save between server restarts

All commands require the chipsSpawner.admin permission.

Technical Details
- Spawners only operate in loaded chunks
- The plugin checks for solid blocks below spawn locations to ensure mobs spawn on valid surfaces
- Spawners will not exceed the configured mob limit within their radius
- Spawner data is saved in the plugin's data folder and loaded on server startup
Permissions
- chipsSpawner.admin - Grants access to all plugin commands
Installation
- Download the ChipsSpawner.jar file
- Place it in your server's plugins folder
- Restart your server or use a plugin manager to load the plugin
- Configure the plugin settings in config.yml if needed
- Use the commands to create and manage spawners
Troubleshooting
- If mobs aren't spawning, check that the chunk is loaded
- Verify the mob type is valid and spawnable
- Ensure there's enough space around the spawner for mobs to spawn
- Check server logs for any error messages related to the plugin
