Added option to only show activated spawners (Spawner-Based Stash Detection)

Type of change

• Bug fix
• New feature

Description

This feature leverages a recently discovered exploit to enhance stash searching capabilities on anarchy servers like 2b2t. Inspired by FitMC’s video, the method addresses a common practice where players hide stashes in naturally generated chests, such as those found near spawners. These stashes typically remain undetected since they do not alter the surrounding terrain.

A week ago, a player named ETIANL revealed a technique to identify player activity near spawners by analyzing the spawner's spawn delay. If the delay has been reset or altered, it indicates that player was nearby. This discovery significantly improves stash detection by pinpointing spawners that might have been triggered by players hiding their loot.

This new setting in BlockESP implements this technique, allowing players to identify and locate activated spawners as potential stash locations.

NOTE: In theory, this method does not detect all activated spawners. A player could leave the spawner radius at the exact tick the spawn delay reaches its default value (20), making it undetectable in such cases. Additionally, spawners in the Nether can sometimes have their spawn delay set to 0 instead of 20, leading to potential false positives.

None.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested the new feature in the development environment to ensure that the added setting works and only activated spawners are rendered. No issues were found during testing.

To be honest, I don't fully understand your comment. If you're implying that implementing a published exploit is "skidding" or something similar, I don’t see the issue with adding this as a feature in Meteor Client. The player who discovered it is known for publicly sharing his ideas and findings. Moreover, I created my own implementation of this feature without copying any code - just using the knowledge I gained from the video.

There’s not much point adding it to meteor client considering etianl, the person who found this trick, did so on his meteor client addon.

Perhaps if someone could improve on the method we would consider it, but as it stands you should just use the addon.

If this feature is not desired in Meteor Client, I have no issue with having my PR declined.

Oh, I see. I wasn’t aware that an addon for this already exists. My apologies, I thought there wasn’t any addon or feature in Meteor Client for this exploit. That’s my mistake.
