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.

-**mobtype <mobtype>** or **mobname: <mobtype>:**
- This is mob type that the spawner will spawn. Can only be set
to any internal MythicMobs mob.
-**/mm s set Ruins\_Skeleton1 mobtype GreaterSkeleton** (Changes
the mobtype from DecayingSkeleton to GreaterSkeleton)
-**world: <worldname>:**
- This is the filename of the world where the spawner is located
-**/mm s set Ruins\_Skeleton1 world survivalworld** (Changes the
world where the spawner is located to survivalworld)
-**spawnergroup: <group name>**
- This sets the group name for the spawn.
- For larger configurations, such as if you are populating a
dungeon, you can group all spawners together and then change
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.
-\*\*/mm s set Ruins\_Skeleton1 group Ruins \*\*(Puts this
spawner in the Ruins group)
- Using the group command:
-**/mm s set g:Ruins warmup 300**
- Sets the warmup settings for all spawners in the ruins
group to 300
-**X: / Y: / Z:**
- Coordinates of the spawner
-**radius: <number>:**
- This is the radius around the spawner at which the mob can
spawn. setting to 0 will cause the mob to spawn exactly on its
spawner. Setting it to 5 will allow the mob to spawn anywhere
within a 5 block radius of the spawner.
- This can be used to make mob spawns in large areas feel more
random when large radius' are used.
-**/mm s set Ruins\_Skeleton1 radius 5** (Sets the spawner to
spawn mobs within a 5 block radius)
-**radiusY: <number>:**
- This is the vertical radius around the spawner at which the mob
can spawn. setting to 0 will cause the mob to spawn exactly on
its spawner's Y level. Setting it to 5 will allow the mob to
spawn anywhere within a vertical 5 block radius of the spawner.
- This can be used to make mob spawns in large areas feel more
random when large radius' are used.
- Defaults to 0
-**/mm s set Ruins\_Skeleton1 radiusy 5** (Sets the spawner to
spawn mobs within a vertical 5 block radius)
-**usetimer: <true/false>:**

to activate on command only
- Defaults to true
-**maxmobs: <number>:**
- This is the max number of mobs that can be spawned and existing
