What is CustomSpawners?
CustomSpawners lets you make any block a mob spawner! These spawners can be of any type, have many configurable properties, and can be hidden because materials like stone, grass, even air can be a spawner block! After creation, you can use it like in-game MCEdit to make custom mob spawner blocks too!
The mob types can be customized as well. Create mobs for your spawners like giant slimes that have only half a heart of health, different colored sheep, and if you want the ultimate boss, try giants or charged creepers with damage resistance and regeneration potion effects! You can even change how mobs take and deal damage!
Some Ideas for CustomSpawners:
- Make multiplayer dungeons with mobs that only appear when you get close!
- Make arenas with powerful waves of mobs!
- Create puzzles that won't turn off a spawner until solved!
- Create entities that can only be damaged from certain items or objects!
- Make ultra-dynamic dungeons that change depending on the amount of players in them!
- Make Custom Mob Spawners in-game! (No MCEdit required!)

Installing
Simply download the CustomSpawners jar file from the download button above, and drop it in you plugins directory. Make sure you only have one version of CustomSpawners in the directory. After that, you can refer to the configuration page on the wiki for configuration of the plugin.
Basic Usage
I strongly recommend watching the tutorial series! I go into much more depth there.
To make a spawner, follow these steps!
- Login to your server.
- Run the command "/cse create <type of entity>" where "<type of entity>" is a mob like a pig or zombie. Note the GOLD ID number printed on screen.
- Select the entity with "/cse select <id>" where "<id>" is the golden ID given to you.
- You can set properties to the mob now, all of which are listed on the wiki.
- Now look at the block you want to make a spawner on, and run "/css create". You will see a ID number in gold for the spawner too.
- Select the spawner with "/css select <id>" where "<id>" is the golden spawner ID given to you.
- Make the spawner work in any light level by running "/css maxlight 15".
- Turn on the spawner with "/css on" and watch the mobs spawn!
Some other useful commands:
- "/customspawners" - displays the plugin info, and provides links to the main page for CustomSpawners and thebiologist13's BukkitDev profile.
- "/css on [id]" - Turns a spawner on.
- "/css off [id]" - Turns a spawner off.
- "/css listall" - list all the existing spawners and locations.
- "/cse listall" - list all the existing entities and their names if they have one.
- "/css setname [id]" - gives a spawner a name so it is easier to find.
- "/cse setname [id]" - gives an entity a name so you can identify it easier.

i hopfully wait for an update..
Can you update this to work for the new bukkit
@BlockWar
Also you should learn to read server.log
@BlockWar
Because this plugin is not up to date :(
I donwloaded then i do /customspawners and nothing happen
please update it, i love this plugin :/ thanks :)
when will the update come? i really like this plugin :)
@zachrywilsn
but i need citizens
spawns is a nice plugin if you would like more zombies and to spawn in day.
if you need this for 1.6.4 here is you answer!
I have a temp fix if you want to use CustomSpawners for 1.6.4
Step 1: go to - http://ci.md-5.net/job/Spigot/1107 or www.spigotmc.org then download Build #1107
Step 2: Rename your Spigot.jar to Bukkit.jar
Step 3: Replace your old Bukkit.jar with the renamed Spigot.jar and start server!
Citizen is one plug that dosent work with Build #1107
Hope this helps you all. i love this plug and hate to see a update stop it from running.
Will there be an update for 1.6.4 or will you go straight to 1.7.2?
Everybody, please remember to donate to TheBiologist13.
be well.
My server can't run without this great plugin. I am stuck at 1.6.4 spigot server (faked 1.6.2) so players can join at least with 1.6.4.
Still waiting on reply, sorry everyone.
@biscuit96
same with me! this plugin preventing me from opening my server.. cause other server are now 1.7.x and im stuck with 1.6
minecraft update should be not that fast... lol
@zarinel
Have you tried contacting him @ [email protected]? Give that a go.
@Vellfire
Same goes for me. My server has been in development for about 3-4 months and this is the only plugin preventing me from opening it.
@zarinel
can't wait. cause this plugin is really important for my server
@zarinel
I pretty much misinterpreted what it actually did on my first look at it. AHURR.
Update: Under the GNU GPL, you can make modified versions, which I did. I do have an updated and working version. Problem: You cannot distribute them. I have contacted bukkit and they will see what they can do however, as thebiologist13 does not appear to be answering my pms.
@IDLauncher I made MakeYourOwnMobs for others, and I UPDATED customspawners for my server. They are two entirely different plugins. Why would I merge them?
As well, I would never be able to make something as massive as CustomSpawners by myself. It would be too large of a time commitment. But I would be happy to keep the code updated and working for the latest versions of bukkit if given the green light.
@zarinel
Seeing as the plugin is licensed under the GNU GPL you are allowed to create a fork of the project under the condition that the plugin remains open source. I look forward to seeing your iteration soon.
command not work on 1.6.4 !
@zarinel
I just want to wish you luck on the greenlight! LET THIS MAN TAKE OVER YOUR PLUGIN PLEASE AND THANKS! this plugin doesnt need to die just yet.
i have a question aswell. anyway for us to get ahold of your updated version of CS? we know you didnt make it, and arent trying to take credit for it. i just feel we all would love to try your updated version.
