Powered Spawner
by Overshake
Powered Spawner is a Forge optimization mod that lets a spawner run only while it receives power, with recipes built around energy mods such as Thermal.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, a spawner needs energy to operate. Powered Spawner was made with MCreator and is meant to be used alongside other energy mods, and its design includes a solar panel as one way to supply power. Crafting recipes are listed for players who want guidance, and JEI is suggested to browse them. The spawner requires between 50k and 250k FE to spawn four mobs, and it only spawns animals or monsters. A redstone signal can stop spawning. Only Forge is supported, for Minecraft 1.18.2, and the environment is client and server, so both the server and every player need the mod. The code is not open source and is under All rights reserved.

Energy-powered spawning
A spawner draws FE from its energy supply, and spawning stops when that supply runs out.

A redstone signal stops the spawner, giving builders a manual off switch.
Solar panel option
The design includes a solar panel, which can serve as a power source for the spawner.
