Boosts

Spawn-amount and spawn-time boosts, as items players apply.

A boost is an item a player applies to a spawner for a fixed period. Boosts are defined in modules/boosts.yml and handed out with /uxmspawners giveboost <player> <boost>.

boosts:
  enabled: true
  list:
    boost1:
      material: "DIAMOND"
      type: "SPAWN_AMOUNT"
      amount: 2
      model-data: 0
      duration: "1d"
      name: "<yellow><bold>BOOST <dark_gray>- <white>1 days"
      lore:
        - "<gray> Applying this boost will increase"
        - "<gray> the spawner's mob output by <green>+2"

Key	Meaning
`material`	The item that represents the boost
`type`	`SPAWN_AMOUNT` or `SPAWN_TIME`
`amount`	How much is added or multiplied
`duration`	How long it lasts — `1d`, `12h`, and so on
`model-data`	Custom model data for resource packs
`name`, `lore`	The item's appearance, MiniMessage

The two types

Type	Effect
`SPAWN_AMOUNT`	Adds `amount` mobs to each spawn cycle
`SPAWN_TIME`	Divides the delay between cycles — `amount: 4` means four times faster

The boost id — boost1, boost2, whatever you name it — is what tab completion offers and what giveboost takes. Name them after what they do rather than by number, and the staff command becomes readable: /uxmspawners giveboost Notch double-spawn.

Boosts are the thing to sell

A boost is temporary and consumable, which makes it a much healthier crate or store item than a permanent upgrade. Two shipped examples — +2 per cycle for a day, 4× speed for twelve hours — are a reasonable starting shape.
