FAQ

License, Folia, shop toggle, SmartSpawner import, and common questions.

License

Do I need a license key?

Yes for paid builds. Set license_key in config.yml. Claim product id 3TSPAWNER in Discord (/claim 3TSPAWNER), then paste the key. Verification always runs on startup — there is no config option to skip it.

What if the license API is down?

With a previously successful verify cached, license.grace_hours (default 72) can allow boot. Fresh installs without a valid key will not stay enabled when verification fails.

Platforms

Does 3TSpawner support Folia?

Yes. folia-supported: true and a region-safe scheduler facade. Paper, Purpur, and Folia are supported targets for 1.20.6–26.x (Java 21+). Use /3ts doctor to confirm Folia detection on your host.

Paper / Purpur versions?

Target Java 21+ and Paper/Purpur from 1.20.6 through year-based 26.x.

Features

Physical or virtual?

Both, plus clusters. Toggle each under modes in config.yml.

Is the default shop vanilla-only?

Yes. Shipped shop.yml is vanilla physical + virtual listings. Custom, Mythic, Elite, and provider: item gens are opt-in.

What is 3tspawner.autosell?

A 5% sell payout bonus. It does not automatically sell storage.

Can I rename /3ts?

Yes — commands.primary and aliases in config.yml, then full restart.

Can I turn the shop off?

Yes. Set shop.enabled: false in config.yml. The shop GUI, /3ts shop, /spawnershop, and purchases are blocked. Give spawners with /3ts give / /3ts givevirtual from a quest or crate plugin. See Shop.

Why does migration say beta?

Migration tools (/3ts migrate …) are labeled beta. Always /3ts backup create before apply. See Migration.

Can I import SmartSpawner?

Yes. Disable the SmartSpawner JAR, keep plugins/SmartSpawner/, then /3ts migrate dryrun smartspawner and apply. YAML and SQLite are supported. MySQL SmartSpawner stores are not.

Performance

Will it fix my lag?

It is designed to cut entity load via virtual/cluster production and lag-safety. Results vary with TPS, hardware, other plugins, and limits.

What about the ~1.3% Spark figure?

That is a showcase / demo observation, not a warranty for every server. Treat it as marketing proof of a tuned demo, then measure your own Spark report.
