from what I read on the subject silkspawners is picky when it comes to item nametags/lore, so if the plugin they use to distribute spawners does not properly name them, then silkspawners will just plop down a big ol' crappy pig spawner.
and then there is this... https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/essentials-and-silkspawners.37520/ which has the solution of replacing essentials with essentialsx https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/essentialsx.9089/
Ok some bugs I've encountered: Ore pockets without thousands of ores. Ranging from coal to diamonds. It's a bug in EpicWorldGenerator https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/epicworldgenerator-1-7-10-1-11-paid.71172/page-205 Yellow tagged spawners can be placed, white tagged can't (they turn into pig) Extreme lag Redeeming kit's from /crateredeem doesn't work
Also skellie spawners in the nether dont spawn wither skellies. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that
This usually results from the spawner plugin not connecting at all. Advice: If you put the spawner in your hand and the timer bar does not appear at the top of your screen, DO NOT place the spawner as it will be a pig spawner and will disappear if you mine it. If the bar appears I have had 0% problems, without bar 100% problems.
well all I know is I have 36 spawners that Do not have the proper lore, and I lost 3 already that are now pig spawners. that leave's me with 6 that will probably work as they have been tagged properly. all in all, till they fix their sh$t; my progress in the game will effectively be zilch.
This plugin issue would cause ALL spawners to be pigs? Even ones we buy from Legacy shop said it was creeper but was pig.
I held mine it said sheep, after a few seconds the bar changes to pig. When placed fast or slow b4 name change it still is a PIG
negative, silk spawners determines what a spawner is via its lore and nbt tag. by default all spawners are pig spanwers as far as the plugin is concerned unless the lore and tags say different. if you look at fixed spawners they have yellow lore text and 4 nbt tags, broken ones lack yellow lore text and only have 2 nbt tags.
if the legacy shop for example were to output spawners labeled as creeper spawners, but they lack the proper tags for for silk spanwers to be able to understand what they are, they will end up being changed to the default spawner. this is why we were able to place some, but once they were mined, they turned into pig spawners.
on one of my more favorite non-p2w survival server's 2b2t, thats how players were able to acquire uber weapons like enchanted glass and a plethora of other interesting items.(hacked/stacked armor sets, swords that deal 10k damage, etc) at one point the server OP made the mistake of allowing players to to help with the servers plugins, and a few engineering fellows took it upon themselves to backdoor the server so they could get OP when nobody was looking. from there they were able to edit nbt tags and now... years later ppl are still running around with duped copies of those same hacked items. tho its a different situation, the principle remains the same, but in this case staff manipulate lore and nbt tag's and silk spawners see's that and further changes them as needed.(so you can mine them, or craft them.(they have that feature shut off))
It is NOT survival anymore. I recently spent over 100.00 on ranks and keys for players to find out part of what we are paying for DOES NOT WORK! Now we have NO ONE in STAFF or Axed even responding to all the issues with Survival. I don't understand, my server runs fine without all these issues of things not working and I have ALL of the perks for 1.10 We reset Went to smaller world Took out over 1/2 of the original biomes the game had. Took out new mobs 1.11 has. Did NOT give us another pvp world to build in like they said. Did NOT give us a nether or end spawn area like they said Did NOT give us player warps like it said. Did NOT give players a casino like they said. Forgive me but what is everyone paying for? Many of our lifetime players are leaving to play on other servers because this is not minecraft anymore. If these things are not addressed how are we to have faith in GC. We believe what we are told, Spend real money to rank up and buy keys/perks for none of it to be working. THIS IS NOT JUST A SPAWNER ISSUE!
Truth here. But this has been the way of things ever since I joined GC; you don't get any communication about any problems, just wait and either it will be fixed or not fixed. There have been a few attempts at improving this with the changelog forum, etc., but eventually it just goes back to maybe/maybe not fixed, maybe reset, maybe server deleted, maybe some other resolution. It's frustrating, but by this time if you've been on GC very long (and I know you have been longer than me), then you know this is how problems are handled here.
another issue I have discovered is that cow and sheep spawners timeout and cease to function after 5 mins or so. then you have to all out unload and reload the chunk for them to start up again.
Dude its been like weeks after the reset and we still dont get the features we were promised in the reset notes. ok
I agree with @CMCONCEPTS we all spend alot of euros on the server for stuff like legacyshop, more money claimblocks, pv's, and other useful commands that we really wanted to get when we startet playing guildcraft and now when any server resets for example survival i dont even get my diamond blocks or obsidian blocks anymore or my 30 pv's and the bioms are broken i me and @Marine4121 we spend over 3h on flying around the whole map agein and agein to find a ice biom but then 2days after we figur out that the ice bioms didnt exist in the little survival map that we got atm and no /warp pvp like rly... @aXed and @Rabascm pls fix that for us give us back everything that we paid for from the start and fix every bug and next time u guys reset a server pls fix the server and then open it -Kidifi wasent here <3
would be an easy fix too, just expand the world border by 2-5k radius with vanilla terrain generation.
