GetSpawners
Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With GetSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners. When a player mines a spawner with a Silk Touch pickaxe, the spawner drops as an item and keeps its mob type.
With this mod, you can give yourself a spawner containing any mob that has a spawn egg in Minecraft using a simple command.
✨ Features
- Mine and move spawners.
- Spawner item keeps its mob type.
/gs givegives working spawners with a selected type./gs setretunes the spawner stack in your active slot to a selected type./gs typeslists all available types.- Optional LuckPerms integration (config toggle).
- Optional Mod Menu + Cloth Config integration for an in-game config screen on the client.
⚙️ Configuration
Config path:
config/getspawners.json
Options:
useLuckPerms(default:false)noSilkTouchSpawners(default:false)allowEveryoneGiveCommand(default:false)allowEveryoneTypesCommand(default:false)allowEveryoneSetCommand(default:false)
If you install Mod Menu and Cloth Config API on the client, GetSpawners exposes a full config screen in-game.
Behavior:
useLuckPerms=false: Everyone can mine/place spawners with Silk Touch.noSilkTouchSpawners=false: Without Silk Touch, spawners break with normal vanilla behavior (destroyed + XP).noSilkTouchSpawners=true: Bypass the Silk Touch requirement for everyone.allowEveryoneGiveCommand=true: Everyone can use/gs givewhen LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.allowEveryoneTypesCommand=true: Everyone can use/gs typeswhen LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.allowEveryoneSetCommand=true: Everyone can use/gs setwhen LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.useLuckPerms=true: Permission nodes are checked with LuckPerms.getspawners.nosilkcontrols the Silk Touch bypass.getspawners.givecontrols/gs give.getspawners.typescontrols/gs types.getspawners.setcontrols/gs set.
- If LuckPerms is not installed, GetSpawners automatically falls back to the non-LuckPerms config behavior and logs a warning.
Example config:
{
// When true, GetSpawners checks LuckPerms permission nodes if LuckPerms is installed.
// If false, GetSpawners uses the config-based behavior instead.
"useLuckPerms": false,
// When true, everyone can bypass the Silk Touch requirement and still collect spawners.
// When false, mining a spawner without Silk Touch uses normal vanilla behavior.
"noSilkTouchSpawners": false,
// When true and LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable, everyone can use /gs give.
// When false, /gs give stays OP-only in config mode.
"allowEveryoneGiveCommand": false,
// When true and LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable, everyone can use /gs types.
// When false, /gs types stays OP-only in config mode.
"allowEveryoneTypesCommand": false,
// When true and LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable, everyone can use /gs set.
// When false, /gs set stays OP-only in config mode.
"allowEveryoneSetCommand": false
}

🔨 Server-side
This mod runs fully server-side. Clients do not need to install the mod.
Also works in single-player (without LuckPerms support).
Without active LuckPerms permission checks, /gs give, /gs types, and /gs set are OP-only unless their config toggles are enabled.
