GetSpawners
by SwordfishBE
GetSpawners lets a player pick up a mob spawner with a Silk Touch pickaxe and place it again, keeping its mob type on the dropped item.
What it does
Breaking a spawner with a Silk Touch pickaxe returns a spawner item that still carries the mob type of the original block. Placing that item recreates a spawner for the same mob, so a spawner can be moved between locations instead of being rebuilt from scratch. The mod also adds a command that gives a player a spawner of a chosen type, so a spawner does not need a spawn egg and a block to start with.
The mod runs on the server, and clients need nothing to join. Operators control the commands through a permission setup: without LuckPerms, the give, types and set commands are restricted to operators, while enabling the LuckPerms integration in the config lets server staff assign permission nodes to other players. Single-player worlds work without LuckPerms support. Mod Menu and Cloth Config API are optional on the client and expose the full config screen in-game.
GetSpawners is published for Fabric, with files for 26.3 and 1.21.11 – 26.3 across six release versions. It is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public. The mod requires Fabric API and works alongside Cloth Config API, LuckPerms and Mod Menu.
