Method Details

setDelay

void setDelay(int delay)

Set the spawner's delay.
If set to -1, the spawn delay will be reset to a random value between getMinSpawnDelay() and getMaxSpawnDelay().

Specified by:

setDelay in interface BaseSpawner

Parameters:

delay - The delay.

getMinSpawnDelay

int getMinSpawnDelay()

The minimum spawn delay amount (in ticks).
This value is used when the spawner resets its delay (for any reason). It will choose a random number between getMinSpawnDelay() and getMaxSpawnDelay() for its next BaseSpawner.getDelay().
Default value is 200 ticks.

Returns:

the minimum spawn delay amount

setMinSpawnDelay

void setMinSpawnDelay(int delay)

Set the minimum spawn delay amount (in ticks).

Parameters:

delay - the minimum spawn delay amount

See Also:

• getMinSpawnDelay()

getMaxSpawnDelay

int getMaxSpawnDelay()

The maximum spawn delay amount (in ticks).
This value is used when the spawner resets its delay (for any reason). It will choose a random number between getMinSpawnDelay() and getMaxSpawnDelay() for its next BaseSpawner.getDelay().
This value must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to getMaxSpawnDelay().
Default value is 800 ticks.

Returns:

the maximum spawn delay amount

setMaxSpawnDelay

void setMaxSpawnDelay(int delay)

Set the maximum spawn delay amount (in ticks).
This value must be greater than 0, as well as greater than or equal to getMinSpawnDelay()

Parameters:

delay - the new maximum spawn delay amount

See Also:

• getMaxSpawnDelay()

getSpawnCount

int getSpawnCount()

Get how many mobs attempt to spawn.
Default value is 4.

Returns:

the current spawn count

setSpawnCount

void setSpawnCount(int spawnCount)

Set how many mobs attempt to spawn.

Parameters:

spawnCount - the new spawn count

getMaxNearbyEntities

int getMaxNearbyEntities()

Set the new maximum amount of similar entities that are allowed to be within spawning range of this spawner.
If more than the maximum number of entities are within range, the spawner will not spawn and try again with a new BaseSpawner.getDelay().
Default value is 16.

Returns:

the maximum number of nearby, similar, entities

setMaxNearbyEntities

void setMaxNearbyEntities(int maxNearbyEntities)

Set the maximum number of similar entities that are allowed to be within spawning range of this spawner.
