Install GsSpawners

You need

• Java 21.
• Paper or Purpur 1.21.9 / 1.21.11, or Folia 1.21.11.
• Vault.
• A Vault-compatible economy plugin. Vault alone does not provide money.

Folia setup

Use VaultUnlocked 2.20.1 as the Vault bridge and an economy provider that explicitly supports Folia. Every other installed plugin must also support Folia. Standard Vault builds and Paper-only economy plugins may not load or operate safely there.

GsSpawners uses entity and region schedulers on Folia. Keep attached output containers in the same ticking region; output skips a neighbor owned by another region, and a double chest uses the owned half. Stored items remain safe when output is skipped.

Tested server builds

Server	Minecraft	Build
Paper	1.21.9 and 1.21.11	Existing release test fixtures
Purpur	1.21.9	2505
Purpur	1.21.11	2568
Folia	1.21.11	14

All run with Java 21. Folia testing uses players in separate regions, VaultUnlocked and a controlled test economy. Check your chosen real economy and protection plugins together before opening the server. Compatibility does not promise a particular player capacity or farm throughput.

Install

1. Stop the server.
2. Put GsSpawners.jar in plugins/, alongside Vault and your economy plugin.
3. Start the server once. The plugins/GsSpawners/ folder appears.
4. A personalized purchase download is checked automatically against BuiltByBit resource 126098. Check /gsspawners license status.
5. If automatic verification cannot find a license, contact GoldenSticker support with your purchase details. Save the supplied code alone in plugins/GsSpawners/activation-code.txt, then run /gsspawners license retry.

For an offline license, put the issued license.txt in the same folder and restart. Two installations are allowed per purchase; contact support for transfers.

Reviewers and resource owners may not have a buyer entitlement. Obtain a private seller-issued activation code before testing. On rc.10, an explicit code takes priority over embedded marketplace details; a valid cached support grant can renew after its code is removed. Remove an old or invalid code to return to marketplace activation. Never share codes, online-license.txt, or private editor links publicly.

The plugin uses license activation and is obfuscated: DRM-free: No; Unobfuscated: No. Online activation, renewal, optional browser editing and enabled update downloads use outbound HTTPS to license.goldensticker.xyz. License acquisition and offline activation are available through support. Signed cached leases allow startup during an outage while still valid; offline-only licenses cannot use the browser editor. To disable automatic update downloads, set auto-update: false in licensing.yml.

Edit in your browser

The jar stays on your Minecraft server. The optional web editor works with GsSpawners rc.8 or newer and an active online license. Install and activate the plugin first. An offline-only license cannot connect to the relay.

1. In your server console, run gsspawners editor. Open the private link.
2. Click Connect, check the plugin and server details, then Customize.
3. Edit settings, choose Review changes, then Apply changes.

Wait for server confirmation. A saved draft has not changed your server yet. The plugin backs up files in plugins/GsSpawners/companion-backups/ before applying and reloading. Restart normally after changing timing settings.

Your draft saves automatically while this connection is active. Refreshing the browser restores it. If settings or the draft changed elsewhere, use the refresh icon to load the current server settings; this discards the old draft.

The private link can be used once within five minutes. Access lasts 30 minutes from link creation. Use the disconnect icon, or run gsspawners editor disconnect in the console, to revoke access and delete the temporary draft. Closing a browser tab does not revoke the connection. Keep links private and do not share console logs.

Use the help icon for this guide and the pause icon to stop the background video and transitions. The layout adapts to phones and respects reduced-motion settings.

Connection and privacy

The editor is at license.goldensticker.xyz/editor/. Both sides use outbound HTTPS; you do not need another server port. The relay stores the four settings files (config.yml, messages.yml, spawners.yml, licensing.yml), defaults, drafts, plugin version and server software for the connection. Disconnect removes the session. Expired sessions are cleaned up on the next relay request. Avoid putting unrelated secrets in your configuration.

The browser uses a protected, temporary session cookie. The editor cannot access your console, world files, database, or license files. Manual YAML editing remains available if the editor is offline. Previously supplied Windows builds remain an optional fallback with gsspawners companion connect; they are not required.

Try your first spawner

As an operator, run:

/spawners give YourName COW 1

Place it, stay nearby, then right-click it. Collect or sell the drops once they appear.

Update safely

Stop the server and back up the whole plugins/GsSpawners/ folder before replacing a jar. Keep that folder and only one GsSpawners jar. Restart normally.

Automatic signed updates are enabled by default. Set auto-update: false in licensing.yml to update manually. The rc.8 candidate is not published to the updater during user testing.
