CompactSpawners

by btwonion

CompactSpawners lets a player collect mob drops and experience from a spawner without standing next to it, with a hopper placed beneath the spawner feeding the drops out.

What it does

The mod turns a spawner into an automated killing machine. Once a spawner is set up this way, mobs it produces are killed automatically and their drops and experience are stored inside the spawner instead of appearing in the world. Clicking a spawner opens a menu that shows the stored drops, and a player can transfer stored experience by hitting the spawner with a click. A hopper placed below the spawner pulls the stored mob drops out, so collection can be automated with ordinary storage blocks.

Clicking a spawner with another spawner adds more spawners to the hosting spawner, which raises the kill rate. Because the drops are kept in the spawner, mobs do not drop items into the world. The mod runs on the server, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) and is published for Fabric and Quilt under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which covers the code. The source code and issue tracker are public.

New features are built for the latest stable Minecraft release, so only the current and following versions receive them. The files cover 1.20.2 – 1.20.4, with 1.1.1-1.20.3 as the latest build for 1.20.4.

Key features

  1. Automated killing

    Spawners kill the mobs they produce automatically and keep the drops inside the block.

  2. Stored experience

    Experience from automated kills is held by the spawner and can be transferred by hitting the block.

  3. Drop menu

    Clicking a spawner opens a menu listing the drops it has stored.

  4. Spawner stacking

    Adding more spawners to a host spawner by clicking it with another spawner raises the kill rate.

Questions

Which loaders does CompactSpawners support?

The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt. It does not have Forge or NeoForge files in this listing.

Does CompactSpawners need to be installed on the client?

No. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.

Why are Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin required?

Both are listed as required dependencies, so they must be installed alongside CompactSpawners on the server.

Which Minecraft versions get new features?

New features are added only for the latest stable release and the versions that follow it, so older builds stay on 1.20.2 – 1.20.4.

What the author says

This mod changes the behaviour of the spawner to a fully automated killing machine. This way mobs don't spawn in the world the drops and experience are stored in the spawner. The mod can be configured via the mod file, which is stored in.minecraft/config/compactspawners.json, or via the configuration menu in ModMenu…
