# Auto Spawning

Auto spawns can be used to have any boss spawn at a random chance that you define. You can use either `RANDOM` locations or `DEFINED` locations. 

To add a random location, stand on the block you want the boss to spawn and run the command `/eb addlocation random-spawn`, you will need to add multiple locations for the plugin to randomly pick from. 

To add a defined location, stand on the block you want the boss to spawn and run the command `/eb addlocation defined-spawn`, the plugin will always spawn the boss at that exact location. 

Regardless of the spawning method you use, you can define a `time` *(in seconds)* for the plugin to spawn the bosses. You can also have the plugin spawn multiple bosses at once using the `max-spawns` setting.

Want your bosses spawning at a desired time instead of every X seconds? Simply provide a specific time in UTC for the boss to spawn. *(i.e `time: 16:35` OR `time: 07:00`)*

*NOTE: You can add more spawn locations by simply copy + pasting either "random-spawn" or "defined-spawn" and renaming it inside of your autospawn.yml.*
