(If Possible) Fix /spawner options

(Attention! This suggestion is linked to a Guide posted here.)

Nowadays, whenever you type the command /spawner in chat, you get a list with 67 available mobs, as shown in the following screenshot:



As you might have already realised, no one can spawn some of those mobs, not even donor400s.

If it's possible, could the list be limited to the mobs that players are able to spawn? They are only 19 mobs and they are listed in the thread linked above:

Let me know what you think.

 

Support there just un necessary and confusing

 

Support I don’t even know why it is mobs that we can’t spawn there, but I got an extra feature for this suggestion

Since all ranks got different mobs they can spawn make 2 sections like this

Mobs you can spawn:

Mobs you need a higher rank for:

Something like that would be cool

 

Support

Yeah, same concept of the kind of /pets you can have. Green means you have access to it and red means you dont have access to use it.

 

And the color gray for Donor400 Spawners. (means unobtainable)

Support.

 

I'm pretty sure the list is just a list of all entities, which is bad because that means minecarts are in the list too. This can be confusing for new players who cant change their spawners to a furnace minecart. Support

 

plus this list has been here since classic began we need a new one for skyblock.

 

The /spawner command is provided by the public open-source EssentialsX/Essentials project on GitHub:

Essentials/Commandspawner.java at 2.x · EssentialsX/Essentials · GitHub

As can be seen from the source code, when you invoke the /spawner command without specifying the mob type, it simply returns a list of all available mobs.

The Essentials plugin has no awareness of which mob types are available with which rank, so there is no way for it to break down the list by rank. The most it could do is filter the mob list by which mobs the player has permissions to spawn (the way the /spawnmob command does, see Essentials/Commandspawnmob.java at 2.x · EssentialsX/Essentials · GitHub and Essentials/SpawnMob.java at 2.x · EssentialsX/Essentials · GitHub, which includes a method that filters available mobs using the player's permissions), but this would require a change to the EssentialsX/Essentials source code, which we do not maintain.

 

Then feel free to lock and archive this
