Spawner Head

Description

Spawner Head

This mod adds a new mob: the Spawner Head. Zombies and husks have a 1 in 50 chance of spawning as a spawner head.

Spawner Head Features:

• Spawner heads have much higher health than regular zombies as well as built in damage protection.
• Its spawner is selected from a weighted list, and can include zombies, husks, spiders, skeletons, and strays.
• Upon encountering a spawner head, the player can choose to defeat it for loot or capture it to use as a mob farm.
• On death, the spawner head will drop a large amount of experience points as well as loot that you would find in a dungeon chest.
• To use one as a mob farm, the player must lure it to a safer location, use a name tag to prevent despawning, and fight off the waves of spawned enemies in the process.
• Spawner heads, much like other undead, will burn in sunlight, making the capturing process more difficult.
• Spawn eggs can be used on one to change which mobs they spawn
• Spawner heads become charged when struck by lightning which will make them spawn mobs significantly faster

Config Options

• Spawn Rate: sets spawn rate of spawner heads (default 1 in 50)
• Burns In Sunlight: sets if spawner heads burn in sunlight (default true)

• There is a separate json file located in config/spawnerhead called spawn_potentials.json, that allows you to modify the spawn weights and add any mob to the spawn list pool, including modded mobs. Leaving this empty will make every spawner a zombie spawner.

Spawn_potentials.json defaults:

[
  {
    "entityID": "minecraft:zombie",
    "weight": 100
  },
  {
    "entityID": "minecraft:spider",
