Changelog

Versions

Makes spawners take longer to destroy depending on your difficulty for a slight extra challenge.

Default spawner hardnesses

Peaceful: Same hardness as vanilla (5F)
Easy: Same as end stone (9F)
Normal: Same as ender chests (22.5F)
Hard: Same as ancient debris (30F)
Hardcore: Same as obsidian (50F)

Unlike some of the blocks mentioned above, you can still destroy a spawner with any tool you want as long as you don't use your bare hands.

Config

As of v1.3.0, the spawner hardnesses are configurable in the variablespawnerhardness-common.toml config file.

[26.x.x-1.5.0-forge] 26.x.x-1.5.0 by PaintNinja on Apr 25, 2026

Download

Rewritten under a new multiloader architecture. Uses Forge's PlayerEvent.BreakSpeed and config API to improve compatibility with other mods - no Mixins used.

Confirmed working on MC 26.1.2 and 26.2.

[26.x.x-1.5.0-neo] 26.x.x-1.5.0 by PaintNinja on Apr 25, 2026

Download

Rewritten under a new multiloader architecture, full feature parity with the Forge version. Uses Neo's PlayerEvent.BreakSpeed and config API to improve compatibility with other mods - no Mixins used.

Confirmed working on MC 26.1.2 and 26.2.

[26.x.x-1.5.0-fabric] 26.x.x-1.5.0 by PaintNinja on Apr 25, 2026

Download

Rewritten under a new multiloader architecture, full feature parity with the Forge version. Uses Mixin and custom code instead of Fabric API because they don't offer the things this mod needs (a config API and an equiv to Forge's PlayerEvent.BreakSpeed)

Also: Spawner break speed changes now only affect players on Fabric rather than all mobs. This was an issue specific to the Fabric version of the mod and this fix now brings it more in line with how the mod behaves on other loaders.

Works on MC 26.1.2 and newer, including snapshots.

Download

Ported to 1.21.10, performance improvements.

Using a switch that returns constant values is faster than indexing on mutable array contents (the array itself was static final, but there's currently no public API way of telling the JVM that the array contents won't change - JDK internals have @Stable but can't use it in this mod)
Grab level data once to reduce the number of untrusted final field reads (level#getDifficulty calls level#getLevelData)
