Faster Spawners
by Lemonnik
Faster Spawners lets a server owner shorten the delay between spawner cycles and tune how many mobs can gather near one spawner.
What it does
The mod changes how a mob spawner works on a server. Its settings control the minimal and maximal spawn delay, the number of nearby entities allowed before a spawner pauses, and the required player range that must be near a spawner for it to activate. Forcing a spawn in each cycle is also part of its behavior, so spawners produce mobs more often than vanilla settings allow.
Server-side only: players join without installing anything, since only the server needs the mod. Faster Spawners requires Fabric API, and it is published for Fabric alone. Its files cover 1.20 – 1.21.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest build, first released on 2024-08-05 and last updated on the same day. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Adjustable spawn delay
Minimal and maximal spawn delay values set how long a spawner waits between cycles, with defaults of 200 and 800 ticks.
Nearby entity limit
A cap on how many entities may gather near a spawner, with a default of 6, keeps mob counts in check.
Required player range
Sets how close a player must be to a spawner before it activates, with defaults of 16 and 24 blocks.
Forced spawn cycles
An option forces spawner cycles to run faster, so the spawn rate rises beyond the usual values.

Use cases
Tuning a server's mob farms
A server owner can lower the delay values to produce more mobs from spawners in a farm or raid area.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run their own multiplayer worlds and want to change how fast spawners produce mobs. Single-player players can run the mod too, since it is server-side only.
How it compares
Spawner Overhaul is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.8 alone, so it covers one game version where Faster Spawners covers a wider span. Egginator is also server-side only and open source, released under CC0 1.0 Universal, with files for 1.19 – 1.20.4.
