| | + | The Better Spawner is a new entity spawning system introduced in Pixelmon 6.0.0 and the sole spawning system starting from Pixelmon 6.3.0. It is capable of handling item, Pixelmon NPC, and Pokémon spawning but can be expanded to handle any kind of entity. All information on what entities spawn and where is backed by JSON files. These can be modified from, by default, <code>pixelmon/spawning/</code> if the Pixelmon Config has <code>useExternalJSONFilesSpawning</code> enabled. The directory the external JSONs will load from, and many other performance-related options can be modified in the [[Config|Pixelmon config]]. The default options are recommended for singleplayer as well as multiplayer with fewer than 100 players. |

| − | The Better Spawner is an new entity spawning system introduced in Pixelmon 6.0.0. It is capable of handling item, Pixelmon NPC, and Pokémon spawning, but programmatically can be expanded to handle any kind of entity. All information on what entities spawn and where is backed by JSON files. These can be modified from, by default, <code>pixelmon/spawning/default/</code> if the Pixelmon Config has <code>useExternalJSONs</code> enabled. The directory the external JSONs will load from can be modified in the Pixelmon Config.
| + | Many more options for the Better Spawner exist in the [[Better_Spawner/Config|Better Spawner config]]. |
| | | | |
| − | The central idea of the Better Spawning system revolves around <code>SpawnSet</code>s and <code>SpawnInfo</code>s.
| + | Important components when modifying how things spawn: |
| − | | + | *[[Better_Spawner/Spawn_Set|SpawnSet]] |
| − | A <code>SpawnInfo</code> represents the smallest component of spawning and is in essence information about a possible thing to spawn. As an example, there may be none or one or more <code>SpawnInfo</code>s that will spawn an Abra, each with a different rarity. One might make one <code>SpawnInfo</code> which is far rarer than the others, and spawns Abra at a much higher level. The possible properties of a <code>SpawnInfo</code> are as follows.
