MineableSpawners
by crdtrd
MineableSpawners lets players break spawner blocks with a silk touch pickaxe, keeping the spawner as an item that can be placed again.
What it does
Spawner blocks become harvestable: a silk touch pickaxe mines one and drops it intact instead of leaving nothing behind. A player-placed spawner can be harvested the same way, and it arrives empty, so the player decides which mob it should produce. Spawn eggs placed inside a spawner fill it, which suits builders who want to set up a mob grinder.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the Fabric loader and Fabric API. It is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 on Fabric, with the latest file, 1.0.0+1.21.10, dated 2025-10-15. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
Key features
Silk touch harvesting
A silk touch pickaxe mines a spawner block and drops it as an item rather than destroying it.
Empty placed spawners
Spawners placed by a player start empty, leaving the choice of mob to the player.
Spawn egg filling
Placing spawn eggs inside a spawner sets the mob it produces, so spawners can be stocked by hand.
Mob grinder builds
Harvestable, refillable spawners suit grinder designs that rely on repeatable mob spawning.
