Player Feedback and Overlay

SpawnerSilk can send player-facing messages during gameplay and display an overlay when looking at a spawner.

Feedback Settings

The feedback section in config.yml controls which messages are shown:

feedback:
  break-errors: true
  place-success: false
  interact-errors: true
  interact-success: false

Break Feedback

When enabled, SpawnerSilk can warn players when:

  • Silk Touch is required to break a spawner
  • The pickaxe tier is too low
  • The spawner type is blacklisted

Place Feedback

When enabled, SpawnerSilk sends a success message after a spawner is placed.

It can also report a fallback if the stored spawner type is unknown and the item defaults to PIG.

Interaction Feedback

When enabled, SpawnerSilk can notify players when:

  • Spawn egg modification is disabled
  • A spawner type has been changed successfully with a spawn egg

Overlay

The overlay is controlled through the overlay section:

overlay:
  enabled: true
  duration-seconds: 10

When enabled, players with the spawnersilk.overlay permission can see spawner details while looking at a spawner.

The overlay currently shows:

  • Spawner type
  • Spawn count
  • Spawn range
  • Max nearby entities
  • Required player range
  • Max spawn delay
  • Min spawn delay

Localization

All feedback and overlay lines are localized through the JSON files in plugins/SpawnerSilk/localization/.
