Spawner Overhaul
by Etos2
Spawner Overhaul changes how spawners can be broken, replacing the default mining with a requirement for a specific enchantment.
What it does
Spawners in the game are normally broken with a pickaxe; this mod makes them unbreakable unless the breaking tool carries a particular curse-type enchantment. The mod also buffs spawners, letting a player overload one by mining or attacking it from a distance with a bow or trident, which causes four waves to spawn in quick succession and ignores the light level requirement. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.21.8, with 1.0.0 as the latest file under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
Key features
Enchantment-gated breaking
Spawners resist normal mining and can only be broken with a tool that carries the custom curse enchantment.
Spawner overloading
Mining or attacking a spawner from afar with a bow or trident triggers four spawn waves in quick succession.
Curse damage buff
The enchantment adds one heart of damage to weapons and applies its effect to enemies struck by them.
