GetSpawners: Move and Customize Mob Spawners in Minecraft

GetSpawners

Ever stared at a monster spawner in a dungeon and wished you could take it home? Maybe you found a skeleton spawner in a perfect spot for a farm, or you simply want a blaze spawner right next to your base. Vanilla Minecraft says no, but GetSpawners says yes. This handy mod lets you pick up spawners with Silk Touch and even create working spawners for any mob that has a spawn egg.

What GetSpawners Does for Minecraft

GetSpawners is a lightweight mod that changes how spawners behave when mined. Instead of shattering into experience orbs, a spawner collected with a Silk Touch pickaxe drops as an item and keeps its mob type intact. That means you can relocate a zombie spawner, a spider spawner, or any other dungeon find without losing what makes it valuable.

The mod also adds a small command suite so you can hand out spawners directly. If you run a server or just want to experiment in a creative world, this makes setting up mob farms, adventure maps, and custom challenges far easier.

Key Features at a Glance

• Mine and move spawners using a Silk Touch pickaxe.
• Spawner items keep their original mob type when broken and placed.
• The /gs give command provides a working spawner with a chosen mob type.
• The /gs set command retunes the spawner in your active slot to a new type.
• The /gs types command lists every available mob type.
• Optional LuckPerms integration for fine-grained server permissions.
• Optional Mod Menu and Cloth Config support for an in-game settings screen.

If you are looking for a frictionless way to download GetSpawners and keep it current, the foxygame.net launcher handles the whole process in a single click, and its built-in catalog even tracks version compatibility so your GetSpawners setup never breaks after a game update.

Supported Versions and Loaders

GetSpawners is built for modern Minecraft and works across the most popular mod loaders, including Fabric and NeoForge, with support for recent 1.20.x and 1.21.x releases. Because the mod runs entirely server-side, players connecting to your world do not need to install anything on their own clients. It also works perfectly in single-player, though LuckPerms support only applies on a server.

Server-Side Convenience

Running everything on the server keeps things simple. You install the mod once, and everyone who joins can benefit from movable spawners without touching their own mod folders. In single-player, the commands default to operator-only unless you flip the config toggles.

Commands and Configuration

The main command aliases are /getspawners and /gs. The available subcommands are:

• /gs give <player> <type> [amount] — gives a spawner of the chosen type. Amount defaults to 1 and caps at 64.
• /gs set <type> — changes the spawner in your active slot to a new mob type.
• /gs types — lists every mob that has a spawn egg.
• /gs reload — reloads the configuration file.

Configuration lives in config/getspawners.json. Key options include useLuckPerms, noSilkTouchSpawners, and toggles that let everyone use the give, set, and types commands when LuckPerms is unavailable. If Mod Menu and Cloth Config are installed on the client, you can edit all of these through a friendly in-game screen instead of hand-editing JSON.

LuckPerms Integration

When useLuckPerms is enabled, permission nodes control access. Useful nodes include getspawners.mine, getspawners.give, getspawners.types, getspawners.set, getspawners.nosilk, and getspawners.reload. If LuckPerms is not installed, GetSpawners falls back to config-based behavior and logs a warning so you know what happened.

How to Install GetSpawners

Learning how to install this mod takes only a few minutes. Follow these steps:

• Confirm your Minecraft version and mod loader, such as Fabric or NeoForge.
• Place the GetSpawners mod file into your mods folder on the server or in single-player.
• Launch the game or server once to generate the default config file.
• Adjust config/getspawners.json to your liking, or use the in-game config screen.
• Restart and test with /gs types to confirm everything works.

Once installed, grab a Silk Touch pickaxe and try mining a spawner. It should drop as an item with its mob type preserved, ready to be placed wherever you want your next farm.

Final Thoughts

GetSpawners solves a problem that has annoyed Minecraft players for years. Moving spawners should not require cheats or complicated workarounds, and this mod makes the process clean and reliable. Whether you run a busy server, build adventure maps, or just want a creeper spawner in your backyard, GetSpawners for Minecraft delivers exactly what it promises with minimal setup and full server-side support.
