Implemented Please allow SF3 server to craft broken spawners

the nether and the deep dark fortresses were about the only places you could go in 1.7 to get mob spawners. In 1.10, the deep dark is disabled and the nether has a world border on the SF3 server, meaning there are a limited number of fortresses available in the nether to get blaze spawners from, and it only resets once a month. Can we please get a recipe to craft a broken spawner so we can have the ability to make the EnderIO Powered spawners? Thank you

 

The nether resets once a month. get your spawners right after a reset.

 

yes, but they might need it sooner, or someone might get on before them and grab them all, so add a crafting recipe

 

a month is quite a long time to wait for something that was pretty widely available in previous versions and is only a problem because of world borders in place by this server...

 

I can tell you from personal experience that adding this to the server shop would not be the best of ideas. I doubt that it will be added but then I could be wrong.

Honestly, if you want a spawner then get it from the nether or use a dark room.

 

what mobs do you need the spawner for anyway? you can get most mob drops from either essences or standard mob farm. You can spawn wither skeletons and ghasts with witchwater, and bats can be found in the beneath (at least i found lots while searching for basalt).

ps. i heard that there are supposed to be spawners in the beneath too, though i haven't seen any yet

 

There was a craftable monster spawner in sf2, although it is from magical crops and was not added. I think it should be craftable in sf3 too since spawner shards will be really really rare.

 

I guess the recipe I submitted a few months ago for a "SirWill's Pig Spawner" was never implemented then..

Spoiler

Code:

#Custom Spawners Recipes
var spawner = <minecraft:mob_spawner>;
var star = <minecraft:nether_star>;
var darksteel = <enderio:itemAlloy:6>;
var pigiron = <tconstruct:ingots:4>;

#Vanilla Spawner (Will be pig by default)
recipes.addShaped(spawner.withTag({display: {Name: "SirWill's Pig Spawner"}}),
   [[darksteel, pigiron, darksteel],
   [pigiron, star, pigiron],
   [darksteel, pigiron, darksteel]]);

 

Any vanilla spawner becomes a broken spawner of the same mob type when broken with a pickaxe, so having a recipe for just the vanilla spawner automatically provides a way to obtain broken spawners too

Also in this pack when mining vanilla spawners you get another item called spawner shards which is used to craft a single-use wand that can capture a non-boss non-blacklisted mob and then change the mobtype of another vanilla spawner to that mob, and that particular crafting item would be otherwise unobtainable outside of nether fortresses if only a recipe for broken spawners was added.

 

Ah the wand is to be able to change spawner mob type without needing to have access to /spawner via being a donor.

Yup, It's very useful and reasonably expensive to make.

 

Isn't there a way to make an empty spawner? Or will it always default to pig?

 

Not especially, by the time you would actually be able to craft it you would most certainly already have a pretty well established source of food and exp (if used in a mob grinder pigs give less exp than hostile mobs anyway), and in most cases people would then use some means to change the mob type to something else anyway, and in fact by making the default mob pig instead of blaze it actually forces the player to either craft an angry doll to spawn a blaze or go to the nether and find a nether fortress to capture a one (as they do spawn naturally in fortresses even with the spawners looted) if they actually want to use it as a blaze spawner.

Also frankly I just liked the idea of it being a pig so I could name it after you like the infinite lava tanks

It has to be set to something or it defaults to pig yes, unless you want me to make it spawn primed TNT explosions instead? cause that I could do!
