      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:

    • 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)
