# What ResourceSpawner does
\n## The short version<\/p>\n

ResourceSpawner spawns things at random locations, and optionally decays them after an amount of time<\/p>\n

![A grassy field with bunches of iron ore generating an dissolving at random.](https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/ijmQ9udY5oplS8Eb1y\/giphy.gif?cid=790b7611f1f0b8d627ad783dbccb14d3574e4237637a59ce&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g)
\nAn example resource field, with resource nodes spawning and decaying at an unreasonably high rate<\/p>\n

(There is no limit to the size of the spawned structures)<\/p>\n

\nThe long version<\/summary>\n

Each cycle, each Resource Spawner will:<\/p>\n

– If the structure limit is not met:
\n– Choose a World Provider, and use it to pick a world.
\n– Choose a Location Provider, and use it to pick a location.
\n– Choose a Spawn Provider, and check a set of Conditions.
\n– If all conditions are met, use it to spawn something.<\/p>\n

## World Providers<\/p>\n

World providers provide a list of worlds a Resource Spawner may operate in.<\/p>\n

## Location Providers<\/p>\n

Location providers provide an area a Resource Spawner may operate in, such as a cuboid, sphere, etc.
\nSome location providers offer Distributions, to allow generation bias towards certain areas<\/p>\n

## Spawn Providers<\/p>\n

Spawn providers spawn something in the location, such as a structure or entity<\/p>\n

## Structure Providers<\/p>\n

Structure Providers are a special type of Spawn Provider that will spawn a structure. Since structure generation speed is limited, you can choose a Structure Sorter to define in what order the blocks will spawn or decay<\/p>\n

Structure Providers allow you to schedule the structure to decay after a given amount of time. This time can be reset by Triggers<\/p>\n

## Triggers<\/p>\n

Triggers will reset the timer on a structure provider when a specific event happens, such as a block being broken or a player moving nearby. Triggers can be set to reset the time to any value.<\/p>\n

## Conditions<\/p>\n

Conditions check the area around a spawn for specific features before allowing it to continue.<\/p>\n

## For even more details, see the **Features List**\u00a0section<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

# Lag-free<\/p>\n

All significant actions in ResourceSpawner, from scanning a large area to spawning a single entity, are limited to spend no more than a given amount of time per tick. This is configurable, in nanoseconds, for each resource spawner
\nIn addition, resource spawners can be set to only tick at specific intervals<\/p>\n

# Extensive Plugin API<\/p>\n

Plugins can register new World Providers, Location Providers, Spawn Providers, Conditions, Structure Sorters, Triggers, and Distributions by listening for the ResourceSpawnerInitializationEvent and using its register methods.<\/p>\n

For examples of these, see the Source Code<\/p>\n

Note: Your plugin should use itself for the NamespacedKey, not ResourceSpawner<\/p>\n

# Hjson Configuration<\/p>\n

ResourceSpawner uses Hjson for its configuration to avoid the messiness of YAML, while still providing a reasonably user-friendly configuration file<\/p>\n

\nBasic configuration format<\/summary>\n

“`json
\n{
\n debug: false \/\/this line is optional, but set it to true to enable an excessive amount of console output for debugging (This may slow down the plugin)
\n resource_spawners: [
\n {
\n \/\/a resource spawner
\n }
\n {
\n \/\/another resource spawner
\n }
\n ]
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
