Temporary Spawners
by mcrobertx22
Temporary Spawners puts a cooldown on mob spawners after they have been used for a while, so a spawner stops producing mobs for a time before it becomes active again.
What it does
Once a mob spawner has been used for some time, the mod starts a cooldown on it, and the spawner stays inactive until the cooldown ends. The default setting sets the spawner back to active five minutes after the cooldown hour begins. The change is aimed at stopping automated farms from pulling loot out of spawners without limit, a pattern common in modpacks.
The mod runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Puts mob spawners on cooldown after some time in use. Primary use is not allowing rpg mopacks to be easily cheesed by automatically farming mob spawners for loot.
