Multiplayer Spawners

🏰 Fair Dungeon Adventures for Everyone! 🏰

ㅤ

The Problem This Mod Solves

We've all been there - you're exploring with friends, someone finds an awesome dungeon, and by the time you get there, all the spawners are broken and the challenge is gone. What should have been an exciting mob-filled adventure becomes a boring empty hallway. MultiplayerSpawners fixes this frustrating multiplayer experience by making spawners personal rather than shared resources.

✨ Core Features

Personal Spawner System

• Individual Challenge: Each player gets their own full dungeon experience with active spawners
• Preserve the Adventure: Late arrivals to dungeons face the same exciting mob encounters
• Visual Feedback: Clear textures show which spawners you've already conquered
• Smart Persistence: Spawner states save with the world and sync across clients

How It Works

1. First Interaction: When you "break" a spawner, you get all the normal XP and drops, but the spawner remains in the world
2. Personal Disabling: The spawner becomes disabled _only for you_ - no more creatures spawn when you're nearby
3. Others Face the Challenge: Your friends see the spawner as fully active and must overcome the same mob encounters
4. Visual Clarity: Enabled spawners show a unique texture so you know which dungeons you've already conquered

🕯️ Torch Extinguishing System - Keep Spawners Functional

Smart Spawner Protection

MultiplayerSpawners includes a crucial feature to prevent torch spam from disabling spawner functionality!

• Smart Detection: Spawners detect torches placed within 7 blocks that would interfere with mob spawning
• Configurable Timer: Torches get extinguished after a customizable delay (default: 10 seconds)
• Unlit Torches: Extinguished torches become "Unlit Torch" blocks that drop normal torches when broken
• Fully Optional: Can be completely disabled or have the timer adjusted via config/commands

Why This Matters

• Functional Spawners: Prevents players from lighting up areas so much that spawners can't work properly
• Natural Mob Spawning: Maintains proper light levels for both spawner-based and natural mob generation
• Balanced Lighting: Encourages strategic torch placement rather than mindless spam
• Preserves Intended Difficulty: Keeps spawners operating as designed without being completely negated by excessive lighting

The system ensures that spawners can continue doing their job - spawning mobs - rather than being rendered useless by torch placement that brings light levels too high for mob spawning.
