Better Spawner
Better Spawner gives players control over spawner blocks, letting them choose which mobs appear, how many, and how often they spawn.
What it does
Spawners in Better Spawner are configurable. A player can set the total number of mobs a spawner may produce, the number of mobs individually, the distance at which mobs appear, and how many spawn per batch. The distance within which a player must be near a spawner for it to activate can also be set, and several mob types can be declared for one spawner.
The mod can also break a spawner after it reaches its maximum mob count, or keep it producing mobs without limit. Custom attribute modifiers change the attack damage, speed and other stats of spawned mobs, with chances applied to each modifier. A later setting can override the values set before it.
Better Spawner is a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.19.2 and is required by Soulbound. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
