Silk Spawners

by Nerjal_Nosk

Silk Spawners lets a silk touch pickaxe break a mob spawner and keep its stored data, so the spawner can be placed again intact.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.21.4 – 1.21.8

What it does

When a silk touch tool breaks a mob spawner or trial spawner, the block keeps its saved data rather than coming back blank. Placing that item later restores the same spawner settings. The behavior is enabled by default and can be turned off through a game rule. Only the server needs the mod, and players join it without installing anything. Unruled API is required. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and the project is open source, with a public source repository and issue tracker. Files are published for Fabric only, across five game versions 1.21.4 – 1.21.8, with 1.0 for 1.21.8 as the latest.

Key features

  1. Spawner data kept on mining

    A silk touch tool keeps the stored mob type and spawn settings when it breaks a spawner or trial spawner.

  2. Optional enchantment gating

    A config option can limit the effect to spawners broken with a silk touch enchantment; by default only that enchantment is included.

  3. Game rule toggle

    A game rule controls the behavior, and an extra safety check stops anyone without operator rights from placing spawner blocks that carry data.

Questions

Does Silk Spawners need Unruled API?

Yes. Unruled API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Silk Spawners on the server.

Does a player need the mod to use it?

No. It runs on the server alone, so players need nothing extra to join.
