Mob Spawner Recipe

by Blueagurian-Raxture

Mob Spawner Recipe lets players craft their own mob spawner block from four chains, four netherite ingots and a nether star.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.16 – 26.3

What it does

The recipe replaces the usual way of obtaining a spawner with a crafted one. Four chains, four netherite ingots and one nether star are placed in a crafting grid, and the result is a mob spawner. Because the recipe is a standard crafting recipe, it appears in the recipe book like other crafted items.

The mod also changes how spawn eggs connect to the datapack recipes: spawn egg recipes that come from another datapack use the mob spawner recipe as their input. Mob Spawner Recipe is published as a data pack for servers and as builds for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The server needs the mod to be installed, while players may add it on the client, and it works alongside other datapacks.

Files cover 40 release versions, 1.16 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published as well. Mob Spawner Recipe is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, with 1.0+mod for 26.3 as the latest file on each loader.

Key features

  1. Crafted mob spawner

    A mob spawner can be crafted from four chains, four netherite ingots and one nether star, without finding one in the world.

  2. Recipe book entry

    The spawner recipe is a standard crafting recipe, so it shows up in the recipe book alongside other crafted items.

  3. Spawn egg recipe link

    Spawn egg recipes from other datapacks can take the mob spawner recipe as an input, tying the two systems together.

  4. Datapack compatibility

    The recipes work with other datapacks, so the mod can be combined with existing recipe changes.
