Suggestion?

[DJBros]

Hello, this is a suggestion for the lolnet minecraft server. I may be being really derpy, but I would like to suggest a plugin like SilkSpawners for this server, just because it would be useful and convenient to farm resources and create mob farms closer to your home, or a convenient area. If I am wrong, and there is an obvious reason spawners may not be mined with a silk touch pick, or there is already a method to obtain spawners, please forgive me.

I guess it is good idea but the downfall for that is someone could create a farm with loads of spawners which could really lag the server and there is already a convenient way to get to exp farm which is by using warps

I would say no.
Simple because of the fact that you could make a huge mob grinder with 15-20 spawners together so you could make one huge spanner. As much as i would love this to happen it can't. Simply the fact that people will make mob grinders which will cause 20% more lag on the server constantly

Yeah guys you're making good points, but what if the configuration allowed the plugin to be edited so that griefing or lagging was basically impossible with spawners? I mean, if the plugin was customized so players can only place a specific amount of spawners unless you have permission to, or bypassing that in admin or op mode? Maybe you could adjust the amount of spawners able to be placed in a 100 block radius? I know this may be very hard but it will be useful and convenient.

As it stands we only have a few people with the capability to creat or rebuild plugins this is not high on there priority list and we don't need it on the server use a warp to get to your spawner that you have found

Cheers Dez

It's not the number of spawners that is the problem, its the mob spawning and chunk loading that is.
Just to give you an idea, there are currently 23 players on and that has caused 1,310 mobs to be loaded into memory and require processing power and this is with rates reduced slightly from standard mob spawning, this is about 20-30% of our CPU used up on just mobs.
Not to mention mob spawners and automatic farms just encourage AFK'ers.
So while I won't remove spawners as they are a legitimate part of the game, we certainly won't be making it easier to create grinders/xp farms etc.
