CompactSpawners

A Fabric/Quilt modification that transforms spawners into fully automated mob elimination systems with loot storage.

Main Features

This mod fundamentally changes how spawners operate, turning them into autonomous devices for mob destruction. Instead of creatures appearing in the world, they are instantly eliminated inside the spawner, with their drops and experience automatically stored.

Block Interaction

• Hitting or clicking on the spawner transfers accumulated experience to your character
• Clicking on the spawner opens the collected loot menu
• If you click on a spawner with another spawner in hand, they will merge, increasing the mob elimination rate
• A hopper placed beneath the spawner automatically collects all dropped items

Configuration Settings

The mod can be configured through the configuration file located at .minecraft/config/compactspawners.json, or via the settings menu in ModMenu.

{
  "maxMergedSpawners": -1, // defines the maximum number of spawners that can be merged into one
  "maxStoredExp": -1, // the maximum amount of experience that can be stored in a spawner
  "silkBreakSpawners": true,  // determines whether spawners can be harvested with silk touch
  "requiredPlayerDistance": 32,  // the minimum player distance required for the spawner to function
  "mobsPerSpawner": 4,  // defines how many mobs should spawn per cycle for each spawner
  "luck": 1.0 // determines the luck value when eliminating entities inside the spawner
}

Additional Information

⚠️ Development targets the latest stable release of Minecraft. New features will only be available for the current and following game versions.

Project Status

The project has been archived since April 15, 2024, due to imperfect implementation and the developer's lack of time. The project may be revived in the future. You are free to create a fork or reimplement this modification yourself.

Crafting Recipes

Until Minecraft adds NBT crafting capabilities, this mod will not provide spawner creation recipes. Configurable spawner recipes are planned for future implementation.
