SilkSpawners
SilkSpawners lets players collect spawners and trial spawners with Silk Touch, so the block is kept instead of breaking.
What it does
Normally a spawner breaks without dropping anything useful. With SilkSpawners, a player who mines a spawner or trial spawner using a Silk Touch pickaxe receives the block back, and the item remembers the mob type the spawner produced. Placing that item again gives a spawner for the same mob. Trial spawners keep their state as well, including cooldown, so the saved block does not reset.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and only the server needs the jar. It requires DACL on Fabric and runs on the 26.3 line, with files covering 1.21.11 – 26.3 and 26.3 as the latest. The config file has four options, all enabled by default: separate switches for normal and trial spawners, and rules that limit drops to a pickaxe or to Silk Touch. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.
Key features
Silk Touch spawner mining
Spawners and trial spawners can be mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe and dropped as items.
Mob type kept on drop
A mined spawner remembers the mob it spawns, so the item placed later produces the same mob.
Trial spawner state kept
Trial spawners also keep details such as their cooldown when they are mined and placed again.
Configurable drop rules
Four config options switch normal and trial spawner mining on or off and set whether only a pickaxe or Silk Touch yields a drop.

Use cases
Relocating a mob spawner

Server economy and progression
Server owners who want spawners to be a collectible item rather than a permanent fixture can enable drops through the config.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want spawners and trial spawners to drop as items, and players who build or move farms on a server running the mod.
