This release contains several breaking changes. Back up the plugins/SmartSpawner/ folder before updating. The give commands changed shape, spawner settings files were renamed and are not carried over, YAML storage and the Bedrock form menus were removed, and several config keys moved. Read the Removed and Notes sections below before updating a live server.

Added

• Custom spawners can now be created. The same mob or item can be set up under several names, each with its own drop table, so one entity can power many different spawners.
• Custom items can now be spawner drops, including potions, enchanted gear, named items and items from other plugins. They keep all of their data and show their real in-game name in every menu.
• /ss editloot <name> opens an in-game loot editor for mob and item spawners. Drop an item into the menu to add it as a drop, captured exactly with all of its data, then set its amount, chance and durability. Existing drops can be edited or removed. Durability is shown only for tools and weapons.
• Sneak stacking and sneak placing can each be turned off with sneak_stack and sneak_place in config.yml. Both stay on by default.

Fixed

• Item Spawner holograms now show the spawned item's name instead of a generic entity label.
• Sneak-placing a whole stack of spawners now fires the stacking event in the API, so it can be cancelled and limited like normal stacking.
• A spawner type change cancelled through the API no longer takes the player's spawn egg.

Changed

• Give commands now put the player first, as /ss give <player> smart_spawner|item_spawner|vanilla_spawner, and only suggest names of online players. The spawner type was renamed to smart_spawner. Smart and item spawners are still selected by their configured name.
• SQLite is now the default storage and is faster than the old YAML files on servers of any size. MySQL and MariaDB work as before, including cross-server spawner listing.
• How often spawner data is saved can now be set with database.autosave-interval, which defaults to 3 minutes.
• Large spawner stacks and full storages use far less CPU and memory. Loot generation, storage menus, hoppers and selling were all reworked to stay fast with large amounts of items.
• Menus respond faster to clicks.
• Settings that only take effect after a full restart are now marked RESTART in config.yml.
• Selling and action logging settings moved into clearer files, and the database section was simplified. Existing settings move across automatically on the first start. See the details below.
• The two spawner settings files were renamed and loot entries use a new format. See the details below.

Removed

• YAML storage was removed. Servers still set to YAML are switched to SQLITE automatically.
• Bedrock form menus were removed. Bedrock players now use the same chest menus as Java players, and the bedrock_support section of config.yml is gone.
• The stacker menu was removed, along with the admin stack editor in /ss list. Spawners still stack by placing one spawner on another of the same type, controlled by the smartspawner.stack permission.

Notes

• Spawner settings are not carried over. The two renamed files are created fresh in the new format, and the old files are left untouched beside them so customised drop tables can be copied across by hand. The console reports this on the first start.
• Spawner data is migrated automatically. spawners_data.yml is renamed to spawners_data.yml.migrated so nothing is imported twice.
• Back up the plugins/SmartSpawner/ folder before updating. The plugin also copies the old data inside the database before converting it.
• If the database cannot be opened, the plugin stops instead of running without saving. The console reports the reason.
• Every renamed config key is migrated on the first start, so no config file needs editing by hand after updating.
