Basic Usage
Basic Usage
- Start a session.
While you're in a session, the mob spawner won't spawn anything until you end or cancel your session.
You can start a session by:
- typing /isp start and left- or right-clicking the mob spawner. I strongly recommend right-click if you're in creative mode.
- typing /isp start (world name) (x coordinate) (y coordinate) (z coordinate). This one can also be used from the console.
- typing /isp start and left- or right-clicking the mob spawner. I strongly recommend right-click if you're in creative mode.
- Edit your data.
(I'm showing the direct version here, scroll down for importing/exporting.)
The whole mob spawner has been exported to NBT data and can now be modified to match your requirements.
Check this reference to see what tags a mob spawner has.
The basic editing command is:
/isp set (path) (type) [value]
If you're completely new to NBT, check this page.
You can create a compound like this:
/isp set spawnData compound
Then you can add a tag to it:
/isp set spawnData.CustomName string Hurley
Note: If you have a list
/isp set spawnData.example list
and you set a value higher than the next index
/isp set spawnData.example int 108
then all indexes between the last one and your will be created and have the same type and value.
You can remove a tag like this:
/isp set spawnData.example -
- End you session. You can either
- cancel it (/isp cancel). Changes will be discarded.
- end it (/isp end). Changes will be applied and the session ends. If an error occurs, you will be told and the session continues.
- cancel it (/isp cancel). Changes will be discarded.

Importing/Exporting
You can import and export NBT data to and from the folder plugins/iSpawner/data/.
If you use the export command and use "jacob" as name, the file will be called plugins/iSpawner/data/jacob.txt.
If you start your server with iSpawner installed, an example file called "example.txt" will be created.
You should have a look at it if you consider using templates.
Tip: As an admin, you can give your mods the permissions ispawner.use, ispawner.import and ispawner.import.some_template to allow them to only use predefined templates and disallow them to modify a spawner directly via commands.
