Timer tag option for spawners
A way to show how long until a spawner will spawn an item
Image below is an example of what im thinking of

An alternative is porting core features from https://github.com/filoghost/HolographicDisplays (permissive license) and the 1.8 NMS stuff... but is it worth it for this thing only? Could we imagine other use cases for holograms in PGM?
pgm already does holograms for flag posts, it's not like we don't have the setup in place for such a thing

I overthought it
Repost:
More maps are using bedwars-style store-currency spawners that are slow. With longer delays it would be nice to inform players on spawner status, similar to bedwars.
Add a countdown option to the spawner feature so that players can see how long until next drop. It would display numbers in a spatial position relative to the spawner drop position, for example:
3 [fades out], 2 [fades out] 1 [fades out and item spawns]
countdown - Flag to show countdown or not, default false
countdown_before - Number of seconds before drop to begin displaying the countdown
countdown_position - Allow countdown to be positioned anywhere relative to the spawner, example above by 6 blocks.
countdown_speedup - One or more points in game match time (5m, 10m) where the speed of the spawner can be increaseds
