Spawners: your collection and your farms

Your spawner collection

• /scandispawneropens your collection with the type, ID, dimension and coordinates of each spawner. Left-click chooses placement or requests retrieval. Retrieval always asks for confirmation: Retrieve or Cancel. Right-click opens mob details and their spawn chances
• A spawner cannot be dropped, traded, sold at the auction house or stored in a chest
• You can own up to 10 spawners, placed or in your collection, all types combined. This limit may still change
• Spawners cannot be crafted: there is no recipe

Two spawner types

• Monster spawner :zombie, skeleton, spider, zombified piglin and creeper
• Animal spawner :pig, chicken, sheep and cow
• On each spawn, the spawner picks a mob of its type. A monster spawner mostly spawns zombies, then skeletons, spiders, creepers and, more rarely, zombified piglins. Every animal has the same chance
• You recognise a player spawner by its red cage marked with a small ScandiCraft S on its sides. It always shows a zombie (monsters) or a pig (animals)
• A spawn egg does not change a player spawner's type

Placing a spawner

• Click a spawner in your collection, then aim at a block and use the Use action within 30 seconds: the spawner goes against the face you aim at
• You can only place it in the Wilderness or in your faction's claims. The Safezone, the Warzone and other factions' claims, allies included, are refused
• The spot must be empty: a spawner never replaces a block and cannot be placed on a player, a mob or a vehicle
• You also need permission to build there
• A spawner cannot touch bedrock, obsidian or a siege block on any face. You cannot place one of those blocks against a player spawner either
• A chunk holds at most 2 player spawners, all owners combined. Beyond that, the chat tells you to place yours in another chunk

Taking a spawner back

• Break your spawner or click it in your collection: it goes straight back there. The collection reopens so you can take back another one
• Nothing drops, neither an item nor experience
• From your collection you can take it back from anywhere, even if your claim was lost or taken, or if you left your faction

Protection

• Only its owner can break a player spawner: not an enemy during a raid, not even a member of your own faction
• No explosion destroys a spawner, natural dungeon spawners included
• If your claim is lost or taken by another faction, your spawner stays in place and remains yours
• Aim at a ScandiSpawner while holding the Stoneward Scepter: its owner appears on screen without clicking. The Attack action also shows its owner in chat

Keeping a spawner running

• A spawner works as in vanilla: it activates when a player is within 16 blocks
• Monsters spawn in the dark; animals need grass on the ground and light
• Mobs appear within 4 blocks of the spawner: leave free space
• A spawner waits while 6 or more mobs of the same type surround it. Clear them out or space your spawners at least 9 blocks apart
• A new wave comes roughly every 20 to 80 seconds
• Mobs drop their usual loot and experience

Getting a spawner

Ways to obtain spawners will be announced. A spawner you receive goes straight into your collection, with no item to pick up.
