I have a Minecraft server version 1.8 with Spigot, one of my many installed plugins is essentials, but with that I have the problem that spawner spawn no animals / monsters.
I already removed essentials, then it worked, but when I added it back it did not work anymore.
Can you somehow solve the problem, even if you have essentials?
Look in the Essentials Config file.
There should be something like that:
# Prevent the spawning of creatures.
spawn:
creeper: false
skeleton: false
spider: false
giant: false
zombie: false
slime: false
[…]
Is everything set to false with you? If true, it prevents the spawning of mobs.
In addition, the same option exists in this config
spawnmob-limit: [NUMBER]
If this is set to 0, it could of course be. Standard is 10, as far as I know.

But you are sure that it is essentials? It could possibly u. Also be WorldGuard. With
/ rg info __global__
get the current flags out. Mob spawning should be activated.
If it is not, you can activate it with
/ rg flag __global__ mob-spawning allow
I did an Essentials myself. If you want you can have it. It has all the well-known features except for the bansystem (will come later), the give commands (I personally found that unnecessary) and the money system (will come later)
A Give command is actually unnecessary, as Bukkit / Spigot already supports an order for it.
Many thanks
