Spawner Commands

Spawners are declared in Mobs/ — a spot in a world that keeps a population of one mob alive around itself. These commands place them, inspect them and switch them on and off. Alias: /nme spawners Permission: nmentities.spawner (one permission for all of them — it’s one job, not nine unrelated powers)

Inspecting

Command	What it does
`/nme spawner list [group]`	Every spawner, grouped, each with what it’s doing right now. `[group]` narrows it to one group.
`/nme spawner info <spawner>`	One spawner in full: mob, position and radius, per-cycle amount and cap, level, chance, timer and warmup, activation range, leash, condition count, whether it’s breakable, and its live state.
`/nme spawner tp <spawner>`	Teleports you to a spawner. Player-only.

The status shown by list and info is the half of a spawner that isn’t in its config file:

2/6 alive, next in 12s
2/6 alive, full
2/6 alive, asleep          <- no player in activation range
2/6 alive, warming up (8s)
2/6 alive, manual only     <- timer off; only trigger, the mechanic or the API spawn from it
off                        <- disabled

Placing and removing

Command	What it does
`/nme spawner create <mob> [id] [group]`	Creates a spawner for a mob where you’re standing, written to `Mobs/spawners.yml`. Without `[id]` it is named after the mob, and the group keeps ids unique. Player-only.
`/nme spawner remove <spawner>`	Deletes a spawner from its file. Mobs it already spawned are left alone.

remove refuses to edit a file that also declares mobs — saving that YAML back would eat its comments — and names the path for you to delete by hand instead.

Driving

Command	What it does
`/nme spawner enable <target>`	Switches a spawner, a whole group, or everything back on.
`/nme spawner disable <target>`	Switches it off. Remembered across restarts.
`/nme spawner reset <target> [kill]`	Clears timers and forgets tracked mobs. `[kill] true` also removes the mobs it spawned.
`/nme spawner trigger <spawner>`	Runs one spawn cycle now, ignoring warmup, cooldown and chance. The population cap and spawn conditions still apply.

<target> on enable, disable and reset is a spawner id, a group name, or the literal all.

Use all, not *. Brigadier rejects * in an unquoted argument.

Examples

/nme spawner create toast_king crypt.boss crypt
/nme spawner list crypt
/nme spawner info crypt.entrance
/nme spawner disable crypt
/nme spawner reset all true
/nme spawner trigger crypt.entrance

Notes

Every mutating command goes through the same path the addon API uses, so a plugin and an admin have identical effects — including the on/off decision surviving a restart, which is stored in spawner-state.yml.
Only “an admin switched this off” persists. Cooldowns, warmups and live counts are runtime state and start fresh.
trigger reports afterwards: on Folia the spawn happens on the region owning the spawner, so what came out is only known once it has.
