Spawners
========
Spawners allow you to define specific points in your worlds at which
your custom mob creations can spawn. They can with a variety of useful
options, conditions and built-in timers, cooldowns and warmups. Note
that in MythicSpawners you can only use the old conditions system. Here
can you find them:
[
Legacy Conditions
](
/conditions/legacyconditions
)
You can create spawners directly ingame by using
[
Commands
](
/commands
)
and by creating the a configuration file in the folder
*/MythicMobs/Spawners*
. Note that once a spawner-configuration file has
been loaded onto a running server, it can only be edited by ingame
commands. If you want to edit a already loaded spawner-configuration
file in a text-editor, you have to stop the server in the meantime.
### Pros of Spawners
-
Doesn't require natural mob spawning to be enabled to work.
-
Allows for a much more specific and consistent implementation
because you can specify exactly where and how each mob spawn.
-
Support timers, leashing and other features.
-
Good to populate small arenas or dungeons.
### Cons of Spawners
-
Setup can be time consuming especially for larger implementations.
-
Can become very difficult to manage if not planned out correctly.
-
Mobs need to be configured appropriately.
-
Despawn false isnt a option that is meant to be used in mythic
spawners.

Options
-------
-
**mobtype <mobtype>**

For larger configurations, such as if you are populating a

settings for them all at the same time. If you have 20 spawners,
this is the difference between typing 2 or 3 commands and 20 or
30 commands.
