How do I install SSAddon SpawnerLimiter?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on Modrinth — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does SSAddon SpawnerLimiter work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.5, 1.21.6, 1.21.7, among others. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

SSAddon SpawnerLimiter

SSAddon (SmartSpawner Addon) that limits spawner placement per chunk and per player based on spawner stacks, with Folia support!

How It Works

SSASpawnerLimiter provides two independent limit systems:

Chunk-Based Limit

Limits spawner stacks per chunk to prevent chunk overloading:

1 spawner block with 64 stacks = 64 count
1 spawner block with 6 stacks = 6 count
Total in chunk: 70 count
Default: 100 spawners per chunk

Per-Player Limit

Limits total spawner stacks a player can place globally:

Tracks all spawners placed by each player across the entire server
Default: 1000 spawners per player
Can be increased via permission nodes (1500, 2000, 5000, etc.)
Bypass permission for unlimited spawners

Both systems can be enabled/disabled independently in config.yml:

enable_chunk_limit: true      # Enable chunk-based limiting
enable_player_limit: true     # Enable per-player limiting

Stack Counting Example

Player places 1 spawner with stack size 10 → Adds 10 to both chunk and player count
Player breaks that spawner → Removes 10 from both counts
Player stacks spawner from 10 to 20 → Adds 10 more to both counts
Counts never go below 0 (zero-floor protection)

This ensures fair limiting based on actual spawner capacity, not just physical blocks.

Installation

Install SmartSpawner plugin
Download SSASpawnerLimiter
Place the .jar file in your plugins folder
Restart the server
Configure settings in plugins/SSASpawnerLimiter/config.yml

Commands

Command	Description	Aliases
`/ssaspawnerlimiter reload`	Reload plugin configuration	`/ssalimiter reload`
`/ssaspawnerlimiter info`	Check spawner count in current chunk	`/ssalimiter info`
`/ssaspawnerlimiter check <player>`	Check spawner limit for player's chunk	`/ssalimiter check <player>`
`/ssaspawnerlimiter checkplayer <player>`	Check player's global spawner count	`/ssalimiter checkplayer <player>`
`/ssaspawnerlimiter stats`	View plugin statistics	`/ssalimiter stats`

Permissions

Bypass Permissions

Permission	Description	Default
`ssaspawnerlimiter.bypass`	Bypass spawner chunk limit	`false`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.bypass`	Bypass per-player spawner limit (unlimited)	`false`

Per-Player Limit Tiers

You can create custom limit tiers using the permission pattern: ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.<number>

Examples:

ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.1500 → Allows 1500 spawners globally
ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.2000 → Allows 2000 spawners globally
ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.5000 → Allows 5000 spawners globally
ssaspawnerlimiter.perplayer.10000 → Allows 10000 spawners globally
Any number you want!

Note: Players with multiple tier permissions will get the highest value. Default limit is configured in config.yml as max_spawners_per_player.

Command Permissions

Permission	Description	Default
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.use`	Base permission for all commands	`op`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.reload`	Use reload command	`op`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.info`	Use info command	`op`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.check`	Use check command	`op`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.checkplayer`	Use checkplayer command	`op`
`ssaspawnerlimiter.command.stats`	Use stats command	`op`

Database

The plugin uses SQLite to store spawner data in two tables:

spawner_chunks - Chunk spawner counts
player_spawners - Per-player spawner counts
