Spawn Trap

The type of mob spawned depends on the block that is placed underneath the trap.

node -> mob correspondencies are defined in spawndefs.lua

You do not need to add any dependencies to depends.txt per mob mod.

Place a spawnstep:spawntrap node directly on top of a node as configured in spawndefs.lua and the corresponding mob will spawn.

To dig traps, you need the digsawntrap privilege.

You can change the spawn trap's texture in spawndefs.lua

/spawnto command

You can use the /spawnto command to spawn a specific mob near a player.

/spawnto Player2 mobs_monster:dirt_monster

If you defined a monster in spawndefs.lua, you can use its shortname:

-- definition in spawndefs.lua:

	stonem = {
	  node="default:stone",
	  mob="mobs_monster:stone_monster",
	}

-- example command

	/spawnto Player2 stonem

Requires the spawner privilege.
