MergedSpawner (mcMMO/SilkSpawner/TokenEnchant/etc support included!)

NOTICE: If you have stacked mobspawners created by pre v4.0.0 MergedSpawner plugin, they will automatically updated to the newer merged spawners when one of the following happens:

add/remove a spawner,
mobs are spawned from the old merged spawner.

Since there is not any mobspawner merge plugin which does what I wanted, I made this...

How it works:
You first place a mob spawner, then you hit the placed mob spawner with another one (of the same kind). The new one will not be placed (on/under/next to), but merged. If you "break" the merged mob spawner, the count of the merged spawner will be decremented.

This plugin does not have mob stacking function. All spawned mobs are regular vanilla mobs. Ofc, this plugin works fine with plugin like MergedMob as shown in the video below.

NOTE: The mob stacking in the video is done by MergedMob plugin. The information display header says "MergedMob" but it was my typo.

This plugin allows you to virtually stack mobspawner block of the same EntityType. By using this merged mobspawner, you will significantly reduce the space required to build your mob grinders. When mobs are spawned from the merged spawner, the number of spawned mob will be multiplied according to the number of merged spawners.

If plugins like MergedMob, SilkSpawners, this plugin will work with those plugins. This plugin may not be work with some plugins, which carelessly hijacks events and not allowing other plugins to process those hijacked events.

For Developers:
If you have a plugin, from which you wish to find out how many spawners are stacked in the spawner, you can invoke the following static method:

MergedSpawner.getCountFor(Block spawner);

If you wish to use an event-driven approach, you can use the follwing events:

@EventHandler
public void onMergedSpawnerPlaced(MergedSpawnerPlaceEvent e) {
Block spawnerBlock = e.getSpawner();
int newCount = e.getSpawnerCount();
EntityType type = e.getSpawnerType();
...
}

@EventHandler
public void onMergedSpawnerBroken(MergedSpawnerBreakEvent e) {
Block spawnerBlock = e.getSpawner();
int newCount = e.getSpawnerCount();
EntityType type = e.getSpawnerType();
...
}
