Syntax	`spawn [<entity>\|...] (<location>) (target:<entity>) (persistent) (reason:<reason>)`
Short Description	Spawns a list of entities at a certain location.
Full Description	Spawn an entity or list of entities at the specified location. Accepts the 'target:<entity>' argument which will cause all spawned entities to follow and attack the targeted entity. If the persistent argument is present, the entity will not despawn when no players are within range, causing the entity to remain until killed. Optionally specify 'reason:<reason>' (Paper only) to specify the reason an entity is spawning for the 'entity spawns' event, using any reason from 🔗https://hub.spigotmc.org/javadocs/spigot/org/bukkit/event/entity/CreatureSpawnEvent.SpawnReason.html If the location isn't specified, will use either the linked NPC's location, or the linked player's location.
