Release
1.5.0

Nighter released SmartSpawner version 1.5.0 on September 6, 2025

SmartSpawner - Version 1.5.0

🚀 Major Changes

  • Dropped support for Minecraft 1.20 - Plugin now requires newer versions (1.21+)
  • Migrated to Paper Plugin system with modern Brigadier command framework for better performance and compatibility~~~~
  • Support RemoteConsole (RCON) execution for all commands from plugin
  • New Prices Command & GUI - Added GUI for viewing spawner item sell prices by shop/custom prices (/ss prices)

🔧 Core Improvements

  • Enhanced Spawner list GUI
    • Sort order now displays in descending order
    • Add new admin features: remove spawner, increase stack size, open spawner GUI in admin view, teleport to spawner
  • Improved Timer Display - Spawner info now uses %time% placeholder for dynamic updates with better performance
  • Enhanced Reload Command - Now properly loads config (range,min-mobs,max-mobs,..) for existing spawners in the world

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Fixed shift-click spawner placement - No longer consumes spawner items when placing in restricted regions (from third-party plugin support)
  • Fixed BentoBox integration - Resolved issue where spawners were blocked even outside of islands
  • Fixed IridiumSkyblock integration - Removed debug messages spam
  • Fixed spawner experience preservation - XP no longer incorrectly persists after server restart

🔒 Critical Security Fix

🚨 MANDATORY UPDATE - Spawner Duplication Exploit Patched

  • Issue: Critical vulnerability allowed cheaters and hackers to duplicate spawners using GUI packet manipulation and load/save state exploits
  • Root Cause: SpawnerStackerHandler.handleStackDecrease() didn't validate spawner block existence before destacking
  • Solution: Added comprehensive ghost spawner validation and packet state verification before processing any destacking operations

⚠️ ALL USERS MUST UPDATE to prevent exploitation of this duplication bug.
