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 give gives working spawners with a selected type.
• /gs set retunes the spawner stack in your active slot to a selected type.
• /gs types lists 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 give when LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.
• allowEveryoneTypesCommand=true: Everyone can use /gs types when LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.
• allowEveryoneSetCommand=true: Everyone can use /gs set when LuckPerms is disabled or unavailable.
• useLuckPerms=true: Permission nodes are checked with LuckPerms.
  • getspawners.nosilk controls the Silk Touch bypass.
  • getspawners.give controls /gs give.
  • getspawners.types controls /gs types.
  • getspawners.set controls /gs set.
• If LuckPerms is not installed, GetSpawners automatically falls back to the non-LuckPerms config behavior and logs a warning.

{
  // 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.

🔄 LuckPerms permissions

🌍 LuckPerms quick start

If useLuckPerms is enabled, assign nodes like this:

/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.mine true
/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.types true
/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.give true
/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.set true
/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.nosilk true
/lp user <player> permission set getspawners.reload true
