    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to the server and I have a few questions regarding spawners/dispensors on this server, both in the mining world and main world:

    1. Can spawners exist naturally in the main world? Assuming that "main world" is where all the towns are.

    2. If so, can mobs spawn from them? It is my understanding that mobs don't spawn in the main world, but I may be wrong.

    3. I see that there's a spawner for sale in the nstar store, what type of mob does the spawner spawn and where can it be placed (main world, mining world...) ?

    4. Can the purchased spawner be moved at any time?

    5. Can a player without lava/water donation feature collect lava/water in buckets and place them into dispensers? I know you need the feature to place a dispenser, but can anyone place things into them once they are down?

    6. Can a dispenser be locked with /cprivate?

    7. Are there any server rules regarding spawners that I should know of? I have read through the rules many times and the only rule I see that could apply to spawners is that griefing of a spawner in the mining world is fair game.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    1. Spawners cannot exist naturally, because mobs are blocked.
    2. Mobs cannot spawn from them.
    3. Sorry, can't get online to answer this one, but I think it can only be placed in teh mining world, or not at all.
    4. I'd assume after you place it, you cannot move it. A spawner when broken doesn't drop anything.
    5. They can collect them but not place into dispensers.
    6. They can.
    7. Mob traps are legal. Just beware staff members kill them once in a while to clear up lag.

    All these answers may not be correct, so you may need to ask a staff member, but hope i helped for the time being.

    1. They do exist naturally in the main world but mob spawning is not enabled in the main world so they are useless except to break them and get the exp.

    2. See 1

    3. It cannot be placed anywhere, really it's only use is to be used as a very expensive /hat

    4. It cannot be placed, therefore it cannot be moved.

    5. This one i'm not completely sure on

    6. Yes

    7. No specific rules regarding spawners. We used to have a rule against mob traps, but that is no longer the case.

    Thank you frosty and vdub for your quick replies! Good to know that I don't need to worry about saving up nstars to make a nice exp farm in my future town :p

    Just thought of another few questions...

    Can we build iron golem farms here?

    Do passive mobs spawn in the main world?

    Not sure about iron golems, simply because i've never seen one on here. But because of that, I assume that you cannot build them.

    Passive mobs only spawn in the mining world to reduce lag.
