Silk Touch Spawners

This was created for use on my forever world, called "derex smp". Check it out in action, server ip: mc.longhorns.dev

PSA: More changes are coming, i got busy with midterms at school

A balanced, vanilla-friendly alternative to the many overpowered or overly complex Silk Touch spawner plugins. Unlike other plugins that add flashy mechanics/GUI, strange custom items, or ignore game balance, Silk Touch Spawners keeps things simple, configurable, and in line with vanilla Minecraft’s feel. Spawner breaking can have both a risk/reward feel as well as restrictions on their usage

Features

Spawner Connection & Upgrades

• Connect to Existing Spawners: Placed spawners can only be connected to existing ones, preventing scattered overworld placement and encouraging clustered, strategic builds. (Fully configurable and toggleable)
• Lag-Friendly Design: Naturally limited because of vanilla mc mob spawn radius, you can only cram so many spawners into one area

Breaking Spawners (Fully configurable and toggleable)

• Silk Touch Requirement: Spawners can only be mined with a Silk Touch pickaxe.
• Drop Chance: 50% chance to drop the spawner when mined.
• Explosions on Break: (by default)
  • 70% chance of a small explosion
  • 40% chance of a large explosion
  • 10% chance of a massive explosion
• Durability Damage: Pickaxes will lose a huge chunk of durability when attempting to mine a spawner*
• Player Damage: Breaking a spawner can be configured to damage the player (a soul for a soul)

Configuration

Every mechanic is configurable in the plugin’s settings:

• Enable/disable spawner connection rules
• Adjust drop rates and explosion chances
• Modify which mob spawner types can be mined
• Set durability damage values
• Control explosion sizes and effects

Use Cases

• Survival servers looking for balanced spawner mechanics.
• SMPs that want to encourage community mob farms over scattered solo setups.
• Economy servers that want spawner farming to carry risks and costs.

Planned Improvements

• More advanced upgrade tiers for spawners.
• Customizable mob type conversion rules.
• Integration with popular economy and protection plugins.
• Upgrade Mechanics: If the placed spawner matches the mob type of the existing spawner, it can upgrade the existing spawner’s stats.
