EliteSpawner detects **SuperiorSkyblock2** and can trust island members automatically. Plan spawner tiers around island progression, set storage and auto-sell as rank perks, and balance sell prices so spawners do not flood your economy. _Disclosure: the buy link in this post is a referral link, so ZCraft Studios may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Details come from the EliteSpawner documentation, last checked November 2026\. The plugin is in early access (v0.1.0)._ **[Get EliteSpawner on BuiltByBit](https://builtbybit.com/resources/elitespawner-ui-based-virtual-spawners.125131/?ref=662024)** ## Why virtual spawners suit Skyblock | Skyblock problem | How virtual spawners help | | -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Tiny islands packed with mobs | No mobs spawn, so no cramped farms | | Lag from entities and item drops | No entities or item drops to simulate. See [Spawner Lag Fix](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/virtual-spawners-minecraft-lag-free-spawner-farms) | | Players leaving AFK farms | Loot is stored, and storage and activation settings limit it | | Economy progression | Spawners give a clear income ladder | For the base design, read [Planning a Skyblock Server](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/minecraft-skyblock-server-design-guide). A ready Skyblock server is the [ZCraft Ultimate Skyblock Setup](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/products/ultimate-skyblock-server-setup). ## Install and connect 1. Install Paper, SuperiorSkyblock2 and EliteSpawner. See [How to Add Plugins](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/how-to-add-plugins-to-minecraft-server). 2. Install Vault and your economy plugin. See [Vault Setup](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/vault-economy-plugin-setup). 3. Start the server and check the console. EliteSpawner detects SuperiorSkyblock2 and the economy at start-up. 4. Give yourself a spawner: `/esp give mob `. 5. Place it on an island and test stacking and storage. See the [EliteSpawner Setup Guide](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-plugin-setup-guide). ## Island trust With SuperiorSkyblock2 installed, island members can be trusted on spawners automatically, so teammates can use a spawner without manual trust. Test it with two accounts: 1. Create an island and invite a second player. 2. Place a spawner as the owner. 3. Open it as the member, and as a non-member who should be denied. 4. Remove the member and confirm access is gone. See [Protect Spawners](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/protect-spawners-theft-duplication-abuse) for permissions and logging. ## Design spawner tiers around island progress | Stage | Spawner idea | | --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Starting island | A cheap basic spawner as an early goal | | Mid game | A few tiers of better loot | | Late game | A rare elite spawner | | Prestige | Reset progress for a permanent bonus. See the setup guide | Create the types in `mob_spawners.yml`. See [Custom Spawner Types](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-custom-spawner-types-loot-tables) and [Best Spawner Types](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/best-spawner-types-skeleton-iron-golem-blaze). Limit how spawners enter the game, such as through the shop, crates or island challenges. See [How to Sell Spawners](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/sell-spawners-shop-crates-setup). ## Perks by rank | Perk | How | | ----------------- | --------------------------------- | | Bigger storage | elitespawner.storage.pages. | | Auto-sell | elitespawner.autosell | | Boosts for events | /esp boost by staff | See [EliteSpawner Permissions](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-permissions-storage-tiers-auto-sell). Keep perks to convenience, not raw earning power. ## Balance the economy Skyblock economies inflate quickly. Use the formulas in [Spawner Calculator](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/spawner-calculator-income-payback-math) and [Spawner Economy Balance](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/spawner-economy-balance-prices-loot-inflation), and add money sinks such as island upgrades and shop items. See [Planning an Economy That Lasts](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/planning-minecraft-server-economy-that-lasts). ## Control when spawners run The activation mode in `config.yml` decides whether spawners run near a player, while anyone is online, or always. For Skyblock, "near a player" or "anyone online" reduces offline earning. Check `/esp debug` to see what a spawner rolled. ## Test before launch 1. Test as a new player and time the first spawner purchase. 2. Test stacking, storage, selling and restarts. 3. Test island invites and removals. 4. Profile with [spark](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/how-to-read-spark-profiler-minecraft). 5. Back up before launch. See [Backup Strategy](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/minecraft-server-backup-strategy). ## Frequently asked questions **Does EliteSpawner work with SuperiorSkyblock2?** Yes, the docs list SuperiorSkyblock2 as an integration that can trust island members. **Can I use it with other Skyblock plugins?** The plugin works without them, but automatic island trust is for SuperiorSkyblock2\. Use `/esp trust` otherwise. **Do virtual spawners reduce Skyblock lag?** They remove mobs and item entities, so yes, for the spawner part. **Will spawners break my economy?** They can, so balance loot and prices. **Is it ready for production?** It is early access, so back up and test before launch. ## Related reading - [EliteSpawner Setup Guide](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-plugin-setup-guide) - [DonutSMP-Style Spawners](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/donutsmp-style-spawners-plugin-setup) - [Best Spawner Plugins Compared](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/best-spawner-plugins-minecraft-compared) ## Continue reading - [EliteSpawner vs AxSpawners: Virtual Spawner Plugins Compared](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-vs-axspawners-virtual-spawner-plugins) - [EliteSpawner Permissions, Storage Tiers and Auto-Sell Perks](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-permissions-storage-tiers-auto-sell) - [EliteSpawner: Virtual Spawners Plugin Setup, Config, Commands](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-plugin-setup-guide) - [EliteSpawner Integrations: Vault, ShopGUI+ and MySQL](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-integrations-vault-shopgui-mysql) [ Previous guide zMenu Commands and Permissions: /zm Reference](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/zmenu-commands-permissions-reference)[ Next guide EliteSpawner vs AxSpawners: Virtual Spawner Plugins Compared](https://www.zcraftstudios.com/blog/elitespawner-vs-axspawners-virtual-spawner-plugins)
