---

World spawner templates are managed through the spawn_that.world_spawners_advanced.cfg file. There are currently 44 default templates, which can be overridden by setting a matching index (starting from 0).

The general config contains debugging options, which can be toggled to create a file containing all templates before the mod applies its changes, and after.

Supplemental

Spawn That will load additional configurations from configs with names prefixed with spawn_that.world_spawners.

This allows for adding your own custom templates to Spawn That, or simply separate your configs into more manageable pieces. Eg. spawn_that.world_spawners.my_custom_configuration.cfg

The configurations loaded will be merged with the one loaded from the main files.

Merging may override previously loaded spawner templates.
