Multiplayer Spawners
by ThePlum
Multiplayer Spawners makes each mob spawner personal to the player who activates it, so friends exploring the same dungeon still meet their own encounters.
What it does
A spawner becomes active only for the player who first interacts with it, and other players see it as still enabled until they reach it. A player can also disable a spawner personally, which leaves it active for friends who have not explored that dungeon yet. Each player receives their own spawner experience and full dungeon experience, so late arrivals still face the same mob encounters as the first explorers.
Spawner states are saved together with world sync, and clients show a distinct texture on spawners the player has already cleared. Breaking a spawner gives normal experience drops, and the spawner remains in the world for others. Light from placed torches can no longer stop a spawner from working, because the mod keeps spawners functioning while mobs spawn nearby.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and needs both the server and every player to run it. Files exist for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, with 1.1.0 as the latest build for each loader, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Personal spawner activation
The first player who interacts with a spawner activates it only for themselves, so other players meet it fresh.
Personal disabling
A player can disable a spawner for their own game, while it stays active for friends who have not explored yet.
Saved spawner states
Spawner states persist with the world and sync across clients, so each player's progress survives relogs.
Distinct texture for cleared spawners
Spawners a player has already conquered show a different texture, making finished dungeons recognizable at a glance.
Torch-proof spawning
Placing torches near a spawner no longer shuts it down, so mobs still spawn as intended.
