      void setDelay(int delay)
      Set the spawner's delay.
      Parameters:
      delay - The delay.

    • getRequiredPlayerRange

      int getRequiredPlayerRange()
      Get the maximum distance(squared) a player can be in order for this spawner to be active.
      If this value is less than or equal to 0, this spawner is always active (given that there are players online).
      Default value is 16.
      Returns:
      the maximum distance(squared) a player can be in order for this spawner to be active.

    • setRequiredPlayerRange

      void setRequiredPlayerRange(int requiredPlayerRange)
      Set the maximum distance (squared) a player can be in order for this spawner to be active.
      Setting this value to less than or equal to 0 will make this spawner always active (given that there are players online).
      Parameters:
      requiredPlayerRange - the maximum distance (squared) a player can be in order for this spawner to be active.

    • getSpawnRange

      int getSpawnRange()
      Get the radius around which the spawner will attempt to spawn mobs in.
      This area is square, includes the block the spawner is in, and is centered on the spawner's x,z coordinates - not the spawner itself.
      It is 2 blocks high, centered on the spawner's y-coordinate (its bottom); thus allowing mobs to spawn as high as its top surface and as low as 1 block below its bottom surface.
      Default value is 4.
      Returns:
      the spawn range

    • setSpawnRange
