Craftable Spawners
by bushman59
Craftable Spawners lets players craft spawners and trial spawners from ingredients, and craft upgraded spawners with a data pack.
What it does
Normally spawners and trial spawners can only be found in the world. With this mod a spawner is crafted from a nether star ringed by iron ingots, with a diamond block at the bottom, and a trial spawner is made by swapping the top corner iron ingots for copper ingots and the diamond for a block with a heavy core. Upgraded spawners are made by setting them down beside one another on the crafting grid, as described by the data pack recipes.
Each upgrade step scales linearly, widening the activation radius and cutting the time between spawns. The author recommends pairing the mod with the Mineable Spawners data pack, because without it an upgraded spawner cannot be obtained once placed. The Craftable Spawn Eggs data pack is noted as a good companion.
The mod runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and is also offered as a data pack. The server needs it, while clients can leave it out. Builds cover 1.21.8 – 26.3, with 1.1.1+mod for 26.3 as the latest file. The code is under All rights reserved, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Craftable spawners
Spawners can be crafted from a nether star, iron ingots and a diamond block, instead of being found only in the world.
Craftable trial spawners
Trial spawners are crafted from copper ingots, iron and a heavy core block, using a recipe adjusted from the spawner.
Upgraded spawners
Spawners are upgraded by crafting them together, with each step increasing activation range and shortening spawning times.
Data pack support
The data pack lets the crafting recipes be changed and pairs with Mineable Spawners so upgraded spawners stay obtainable.
