Create: Mob Spawners
by 3xpl01t
Create: Mob Spawners lets a Mechanical Spawner, a Create kinetic block, spawn a mob that a Soul Catcher has captured inside it.
What it does
The mod adds a Soul Catcher, an item that captures a mob's soul once that mob has been weakened with a thrown weakness potion. Capturable mobs and bosses can be adjusted in the config, and a captured mob's AI is disabled so it cannot move or attack. Capture time depends on hitbox volume: a chicken is caught quickly, while a ghast takes longer.
The Mechanical Spawner is a kinetic block that needs rotational force and a liquid supply, with a minimum speed of 128 RPM. Once a Soul Catcher is placed inside it, the spawner repeats spawns of the contained mob type within the same range a vanilla spawner would use. The rotational load a spawner puts on the network varies with the mob it holds, and a player picks the spawning area by clicking the block with a bare hand or a wrench. Create is required, and Jade and Just Enough Items are optional helpers. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, is published for Forge and NeoForge, and needs Create 6.0.0 or newer.

A kinetic spawner that repeats spawns of the mob type stored in it, within the vanilla spawner range.
Spawner status display
The spawner shows the contained mob type, the contained fluid, its progression status and the reason it is stalled.
Additional spawn attempts
Extra spawn attempts run when a spawn fails to find a fitting spot, and a spawner with no obstruction in range works most efficiently.

The Soul Catcher is a new item that can capture a mob's soul. For this to work, the mob needs to have an active weakness effect which could be applied using a throwable potion of weakness. Mobs that should not be capturable can be adjusted in the config. Bosses are not capturable by design. The time it takes to catch…
