Mineable Spawner
by Jodek
Mineable Spawner lets players pick up monster spawners with a pickaxe instead of leaving them in place, and it works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.
What it does
Monster spawners can be broken with a pickaxe and collected as items. By default a mined spawner drops as an item only when mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe, but the drop rules can be changed in the config, so spawners also drop when mined with an ordinary pickaxe, experience can drop, and a spawn egg can drop. Installation covers 1.16 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus a data pack build, and the latest files are for 26.3. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. The code is open source under the MIT License. Optional dependency: 5555ff-lib.
