## Problem
During winter, every skeleton spawn was cancelled and replaced with a stray —
including spawns fired by mob spawners (and trial spawners). The same happened
in summer, where zombie spawners were converted into husk spawners.
Mob spawners limit their output by counting "similar entities" — entities of
the **same
(
entered the world and the replacement strays/husks are a different type, the
spawner's cap was never reached: it kept spawning on every spawn delay,
producing an **unlimited** number of strays/husks around any skeleton/zombie
spawner (dungeons, spawner farms, etc.).
## Fix
Season conversions now only apply to non-spawner spawns:
Spawner detection is defensive and covers all spawner paths in the 26.2 API:
This also matches vanilla behavior, where biome-based mob conversions
(e.g. skeletons → strays in snow) only apply to natural spawns, and the
behavior documented in the README ("skeletons that spawn **naturally**").
## Other changes
## Testing
spawns a stray. Natural
Same verified for summer with a zombie spawner (husks).
During winter, every skeleton spawn was cancelled and replaced with a stray —
including spawns fired by mob spawners (and trial spawners). The same happened
in summer, where zombie spawners were converted into husk spawners.
Mob spawners limit their output by counting "similar entities" — entities of
the **same
EntityType** — within their spawn area(
Spawner#getMaxNearbyEntities()). Since the converted skeletons/zombies neverentered the world and the replacement strays/husks are a different type, the
spawner's cap was never reached: it kept spawning on every spawn delay,
producing an **unlimited** number of strays/husks around any skeleton/zombie
spawner (dungeons, spawner farms, etc.).
## Fix
Season conversions now only apply to non-spawner spawns:
WinterEffects— skeletons spawned by a spawner are left as skeletons;
SummerEffects— zombies spawned by a spawner are left as zombies;
Spawner detection is defensive and covers all spawner paths in the 26.2 API:
SpawnerSpawnEvent, TrialSpawnerSpawnEvent, andCreatureSpawnEvent with reason SPAWNER, SPAWNER_EGG, or TRIAL_SPAWNER.This also matches vanilla behavior, where biome-based mob conversions
(e.g. skeletons → strays in snow) only apply to natural spawns, and the
behavior documented in the README ("skeletons that spawn **naturally**").
## Other changes
- Spigot API:
26.1.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT→26.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT
build.gradle, plugin.yml api-version)- PlaceholderAPI (soft dependency):
2.12.2→2.12.3 - Plugin version:
1.4.0→1.4.1
## Testing
- Builds cleanly against
spigot-api:26.2(JDK 25). - In-game: 11×11 room, skeleton spawner with
MaxNearbyEntities:6— in winter
spawns a stray. Natural
/summon skeleton is still converted to a stray.Same verified for summer with a zombie spawner (husks).

- The getHighestBlockYAt method returns the highest block's Y coordinate at the specified X and Z coordinates. However, in some cases, this method might return -1 if no valid block is found (e.g., in void areas or unloaded chunks). When this happens, the y value becomes -1, which is invalid for block coordinates. This update adds additional validity checks.
- The default temperature has been decreased by 5 degrees celsius. This will help players in the Nether and in The End.
