Allow animal spawners

Lately I've noticed that a lot of the animal spawners I'm using have been getting destroyed and I heard that it is the admins doing this.

I actually didn't use to use the animal spawners. I had a legit farm for every animal. But what I found out is that the server would glitch and de-spawn some or all my animals about once a week and I'd have to start from scratch.

Because of this I gave up on my farms and started using the various animal spawners. So you can imagine the problems it's causing me to have these spawners destroyed. It's becoming a big pain to get the leather and wool my faction needs.

Please consider not destroying animal spawners, or fixing the entity glitch problem. Thank you.

Holds his hand up
The reasoning behind this is that only donators have access to custom spawners and are the only ones who should. Public spawners can be seen as an infinite supply of an item to people which subtracts from the survival experience we hope to achieve.

My way of amending this is to personally name all owned animals with a name tag simply denoting their species, ie "Cow" or "Sheep", as this I believe stops the server from deleting them to save on memory, which is this glitch you speak of. If any staff are reading this I urge you to do the same in the hopes of protecting peoples livestock.
I must admit that in over half a year I've never had any of my animals deleted by the server, whether this be due to them not being in loaded chunks or maybe pure luck and despite donators having /killall for the first few months of my arrival.

The naming technique does not work unfortunately. I have had 2 named horses despawn on me (unless someone went waaaaaay out of their way to kill them).

Yeah I had two horses with names and both keep despawning. plus if the guy has a farm how do you expect him to afford to name every animal?

Spawners are too OP for non-creative mode users. If you want more animals, google "How to make a [mob] farm no spawner".

Either way, having creative is OP, and makes the server A LOT less fun. In all honesty, it should not be a donor perk.

It makes it MORE fun as you can spend more time on builds etc than hunting noobs with bread or hunting chickens. And whats the point of spawners going to donors with GMC anyway? they want it and POOF, its in their inventory. Why would they farm animals with a spawner when its easier to /give. For god sakes its only steak. Noone is buying it, no one is selling it soo its fine.

Then don't hunt "noobs with bread" and either use /kit tools or go to /warp MagicianShop. I sell farming materials and cooked meat of some kind (I don't remember what kind tho) there. You could start a farm or buy food. It's not that hard Dublin.

Or instead of farm Ing them just use your spawner. That way you can spend ur time on things that are important. Why waste money on something that can be freeeeeee

I vastly agree with Vulturboy here.

-1. Spawners are too "OP" for citizens and they also ruin the survival aspect of the server. Personally, I think they should be limited to donator use and if not, not used at all.

Who dafuq would use spawners otherwise apart from citizens. The only people able to MAKE spawners are donors with GMC privileges. And that defeats the purpose. VIP can use /feed or /smite creepers to get creeper heads to sell. They are needed by citizens as they supply food so the cits can do more important snit than just farming
