This mod is intended to add to vanilla gameplay by making spawners more useful and fun.
Features:
- Mine spawners with any tool enchanted with silk touch.
- Clear a spawner's monster by using a specific item on it.
- Once cleared a spawner will begin spawning the next mob to die within a configured radius of it, if that mob is spawnable.
- The item used to clear a spawner is configurable.
- The mobs a spawner can be set to spawn are configurable.
- The silktouch enchanted tools that may be used to mine a spawner are configurable.
- The radius around a blank spawner in which a mob's death will cause the spawner to spawn it is configurable.
This fabric mod is server side only and makes no changes client side. Install in the mods folder of your dedicated server or single player world. A config file will be generated on the first run with descriptions of each configuration. It only requires the Fabric API.
