Enable trial spawners

by akxe

Enable trial spawners makes trial spawners keep spawning mobs when mob spawning is turned off with the doMobSpawning gamerule, as regular spawners do.

FabricNeoForgeServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1 – 1.21.8

What it does

Trial spawners normally stop producing mobs once doMobSpawning is set to false, which differs from how regular mob spawners behave. This mod fixes that inconsistency by letting trial spawners keep spawning mobs under the same gamerule setting, matching vanilla mob spawners. It addresses MC-266487, a bug report on the Minecraft issue tracker. The mod was originally created for Cobblemon mob-free servers. Architectury API is required on both Fabric and NeoForge. The server needs the mod, while players may add it but do not need it to join. Files exist for 1.21.1 – 1.21.8 and the mod is released under the MIT License as open source.

What the author says

This mod allows trial spawners to spawn mobs even when the doMobSpawning gamerule is set to false, matching the behavior of vanilla mob spawners. This fixes an inconsistency where trial spawners would stop working when mob spawning is disabled globally, while regular spawners continue to function. Originally created…
