    About the Mob Spawn Control plugin

    Mob Spawn Control allows you to take control of the XP grinders (experience grinders, mob farms) on your server. Our server had a problem with XP grinders bringing the server to its knees. I created this plugin to limit the number of monsters (mobs) that could pop out of a given spawner. Once the spawner is maxed it will prevent further monster spawns until a monster is killed. Once the monster is killed it is decremented from the list. Basically the plugin keeps track of active/alive monsters attached to a spawner.

    Feature List

    • Limit monsters spawned from a single spawner
    • Report on top spawners currently on the server
    • Assigns spawner to a player in the report
    • Teleport to a given spawner for investigation
    • In-game debugging option
    • In-game enable/disable option
    • In-game stat reset
    • In-game configuration reload

    Why Should I use MSC?

    There are many different plugins that handle mob spawners. I've reviewed each of them and they all have their advantages. Rather than tell you "MSC is the best" I will give you a break-down of the problem each plugin resolves. I fully support the other plugins in the community which is why I've linked them below. You decide which is best for your scenario.

    • RESETSTATS = reset all current stats on the server
