Markers
Markers are what you place down to make rooms do things. Place them with wand MARKER mode, then configure them with wand INFO mode.

Core gameplay markers (working)

START — Where players spawn when the run begins.
END — Completing this triggers the dungeon win flow.
CHECKPOINT — Respawn point for players who die (if respawns are enabled).
MOB_SPAWN — Spawns mobs (mob id, count, level, radius, respawn time).
WAVE_SPAWNER — Spawns multiple waves (waves, mobs per wave, delay).
BOSS_SPAWN — Spawns a boss (boss id, name, health). Premium: Boss Loot Chest.
LOOT_CHEST — Gives loot (tier 1–5, one-time, loot table id, optional hologram text).
TRAP — Proximity traps (type, damage, cooldown).
CONNECTOR — Links rooms for procedural corridors (facing + tag). Not needed for non-procedural dungeons.
DOOR + KEY_LOCATION — Locks & keys using Lock Id matching.

Markers currently placeholders
These can be placed for planning/visuals but don’t have full gameplay systems yet:

The easiest flow (guided builder)

Create a dungeon:
Code:
```
/df create <name>
```
Start editing:
Code:
```
/df edit <name>
```
(your hotbar gets builder items)
Open Builder Hub:
Code:
```
/df build
```
(or use the Compass)
Follow Builder Hub steps: Create Room → Place Start → Place End → unlock Free Build
Publish:
Code:
```
/df publish <name>
```
(or Emerald)
Test play:
Code:
```
/dfjoin <name>
```
then
Code:
```
/dfleave
```

Set lobby return (recommended)
Stand in lobby and run:

Code:

/df setspawnoflobby
