GetSpawners

Name: GetSpawners
Author: SwordfishBE

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`

Option:

`useLuckPerms` (default: `false`)
`noSilkTouchSpawners` (default: `false`)
`allowEveryoneGiveCommand` (default: `false`)
`allowEveryoneTypesCommand` (default: `false`)
`allowEveryoneSetCommand` (default: `false`)

If Mod Menu and Cloth Config are installed on the client, these settings can also be edited through an in-game config screen.

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.

Example config:

json

{
// 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
}

🎮 Commands

Main command aliases:

/getspawners
/gs

Subcommands:

/gs give <player> <type> [amount]

🔨 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
