Additional Mob Spawner Params

[James-P-Bennett]

I'm not sure if this would be practical for improving server performance, but I think it would be useful to have a configurable option to increase the range at which spawners spawn more mobs during their spawn tick.

Currently, spawners check for 4 mobs within a 4-block horizontal and 1-block vertical range by default. A spawner activates when a player (not in Spectator mode) is within a 16-block spherical radius from the center of the spawner.

Allowing adjustments to these parameters could provide additional control over mob spawner farms and dungeon spawning on servers.

The parameters you listed can already be modified with plugins or/and commands

Alright, but for instance, wouldn’t modifying a vanilla spawner tick with a plugin be less efficient compared to letting the server handle it directly? Or is the difference negligible?

(By the way, As mentioned I’m looking for a plugin that can adjust the range at which mob spawners detect already spawned mobs. If you know of one, let me know.) 😁

It likely wouldn't make a difference in the long run.
