SmartSpawner

🌟 Overview

Inspired by Donut SMP's Spawner mechanics, this plugin revolutionizes spawner usage with an intuitive GUI-based system. It allows mob drops and experience generation without spawning actual entities, significantly reducing server load while enhancing the player experience.

⚠️ IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTICE: This plugin is NOT compatible with other spawner stacking plugins such as WildStacker, RoseStacker, etc. Using SmartSpawner alongside these plugins will cause conflicts and unexpected behavior.
