Commands

All SmartSpawner commands share three aliases. Use whichever you prefer:

/ss/spawner/smartspawner

Click any command or permission to copy it to your clipboard.

TIP

All commands require smartspawner.command.use as a base permission, plus the specific node shown for each command. See the Permissions page for the full list.

Give Commands

/ss give

Give spawners to a player.

<player>: Target player. Only online player names are suggested.
<spawner>: A spawner name from spawner_mobs.yml or spawner_items.yml, such as zombie, diamond or a custom spawner like golden_zombie.
vanilla <mob>: A plain Minecraft spawner. No GUI, no stacking, same as a spawner placed in creative mode.
[amount]: Optional quantity 1-6400, default: 1

Examples: /ss give Steve zombie 5, /ss give Steve golden_zombie, /ss give Steve vanilla skeleton.

TIP

Give each spawner a name that is unique across both files. The console warns about names that clash.

INFO

The old form (smart_spawner, item_spawner, vanilla_spawner) still works from the console and command blocks, so existing shop, crate and vote setups keep working.

Admin Commands

/ss reload

Reload all configuration files without restarting the server. Applies changes to config.yml, spawner_mobs.yml, spawner_items.yml, sell_integration.yml, activity_log.yml, language files, and hook integrations. Settings marked RESTART in config.yml are not applied.

/ss list

Open an admin GUI listing every spawner on the server. Supports teleporting to spawner locations, filtering by world, and (in MySQL mode) viewing spawners across multiple servers.

/ss hologram

Toggle hologram displays on or off for all spawners globally.

/ss prices

Open a GUI showing sell prices for all items generated by spawners. Requires an active economy sell integration.

/ss near

Scan for spawners within the given radius (default 50, max 200) and highlight them through walls using glowing BlockDisplay outlines.

Scan runs asynchronously with progress shown in a boss bar
Highlights are visible only to the player who ran the command
Auto-expire after 30 seconds; use /ss near cancel to remove them immediately

/ss set

Set a property on a spawner. Without coordinates, targets the spawner the player is currently looking at.

Properties: stack_size, range, delay
delay accepts raw ticks or time format: 25s, 1m, 1h

/ss editloot

Edit a spawner's loot in game instead of editing the config file.

<name>: A spawner name from spawner_mobs.yml or spawner_items.yml, such as blaze or a custom spawner. Tab completion lists every valid name.
Left click a loot item to change its amount, chance and durability. Amount and durability accept a range like 0-2.
Right click a loot item to swap it for another item.
Click the green pane after the last item to add new loot. The item is saved exactly as you drop it, including its name, lore and enchantments.
Changes are saved to the file and apply right away. No reload is needed.

/ss language

View or change the active language. Tab-completes locale names from the language/ folder.

/ss gui_layout

View or change the active GUI layout. Tab-completes layout names from the gui_layouts/ folder.

/ss clear

holograms: Remove all SmartSpawner holograms from the server. Use this to clean up stuck or glitched holograms after a crash or chunk issue.
ghost_spawners: Detect and remove database entries for spawners that no longer have a physical block at their stored location.
