Ruin Spawner

RuinSpawner is a lightweight Minecraft plugin for Paper servers (1.20.6) that allows players to collect and relocate mob spawners using a special golden pickaxe. The plugin is focused on simplicity, performance, and clear gameplay mechanics.

Spawner Collection: Players can break and pick up mob spawners, preserving the original mob type.

Special Pickaxe Requirement: Only a golden pickaxe called "Mighty Destroyer" (with a custom NBT tag) can collect spawners. This pickaxe is issued with 1 durability point and breaks after a single use.

Admin and Player Commands: /giveruinspawner <player> – Admins can give the special pickaxe to any player. /buyruinspawner – Players can purchase the pickaxe for a configurable price (default: 250,000), integrated with Vault economy.

Permission Support: Full compatibility with LuckPerms and other permission plugins. Separate permissions for buying and giving the pickaxe.

Configurable Messages: All in-game messages and prices are set in a YAML config file, making localization and customization easy.

Technical Details No dependencies except Vault for economy integration. NBT and PersistentDataContainer are used for storing custom data (mob type, pickaxe marker). Events handled: BlockBreakEvent (for collecting spawners), BlockPlaceEvent (for restoring mob type).

No performance impact: The code is minimal and event-driven.

RuinSpawner is a practical plugin for server owners who want controlled, fair spawner collection without overcomplicating gameplay. It’s easy to configure, integrates with existing permission and economy systems, and is safe for production use.
