FrostySpawner

Charge-based spawners for Paper 26.3. Every spawner holds a limited number of charges, and each mob spawn uses one up. When the charges run out, the spawner stops until it is recharged. Players manage everything through in-game menus: upgrade, sell, rent out, fuse and stack their spawners. Admins get a full control panel.

Requires Paper 26.3 and Java 25. The plugin will not load on 1.21.x, 26.1 or 26.2.

Why FrostySpawner?

Unlimited spawners break server economies. FrostySpawner turns them into a resource: spawners are bought, used up, recharged, upgraded and traded. This gives your economy a steady money sink and gives players something to work towards.

Features

Charge system

• Spawners have a limited number of charges; each spawn uses one
• Configurable default and maximum charges, plus per-player spawner limits
• Low-charge warnings (action bar, title or chat)
• Optional auto-recharge (free or paid via Vault)
• Optional money refund for remaining charges when a spawner is broken without Silk Touch

Spawner menu (right-click)

• Turn the spawner on or off
• Buy more charges
• Passive upgrades, fusion, renting and sell-back
• Spawn history and per-spawner stats (owner only)

Passive upgrades (4 levels each)

Upgrades can be downgraded again with a shift-click for a partial refund.

Tiers, fusion, stacking and renting

• Tiers (Bronze / Silver / Gold): more charges, faster spawns, extra Looting
• Fusion: combine two spawners of the same mob into one
• Stacking: place a spawner next to one of the same type to merge them
• Renting: list your spawner for an hourly price; other players can rent it via /frrent browse
• Transfer: hand a spawner over to another player (/frtransfer)

Shop and economy (Vault)

• /frshop spawner shop with per-mob price multipliers
• Bulk purchase, charge upgrades, sell-back
• Timed sales with configurable discounts
• Transaction log

Holograms

• Floating text above each spawner (TextDisplay, no extra plugin needed)
• Shows charges, owner, status, tier, stack size, next spawn timer and more
• Smooth bobbing animation; fully customizable format with & and &#RRGGBB hex colors

Statistics

• Per-player stats: mobs spawned, charges spent, spawners owned (/frstats)
• Leaderboards for spawns, charges and active spawners
• Spawn history for each spawner
• Session summary for admins

Protection

• Only the owner (or admins) can break a spawner
• Silk Touch keeps charges, tier and upgrades on the item
• Separate permissions for placing, breaking, opening menus and more

Admin tools

• /fradmin panel: view, edit, recharge and delete every spawner on the server
• JSON export and import for migrations
• Redstone control: a lever on the spawner turns it on and off
• Per-world settings

Integrations

• Vault: shop, upgrades, renting, refunds
• PlaceholderAPI: 30+ placeholders (server totals, player data, nearest spawner, leaderboards)
• LuckPerms: supported through standard permissions
• Discord webhooks: notifications for depleted, placed and broken spawners and for sales
• REST API (optional, API-key protected): server status, spawner list, leaderboards

Storage
