SilkSpawners
SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch
Version v8.0.0
Thanks for MILLIONS of downloads!
A sign shop addon for buying and selling spawners can be found here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
Description
Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With SilkSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners.
If you use a pickaxe with the silktouch enchantment you will receive the spawner again.
You can control each mob spawner, allow crafting and of course mod support.
I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.
As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom or the button on the top)

Known Bugs
- If sign shops are not working, you may want to try my custom sign shop addon: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
- Mobs like Ghasts or Giants are too big for the spawner, this a Minecraft bug and I can't fix that
- Some older Essentials versions/ports are not updated properly for 1.8. There is a maintained fork called EssentialsX you should try.
- If you use Gui Sign Shop and users are unable to place spawners, you need to grant them the guishop.spawner permission from Gui Sign Shop
- Holographic Displays makes Slime spawners non functional
- UltraCosmetics, causes some spawners to non function: https://github.com/iSach/UltraCosmetics/issues/259

I have been waiting for more than two months...

update pls
I've tried 4 different Mob Stacking plugins with no luck of any of them working, so I was wondering if there is a specific Mob stacking plugin compatible with this plugin or have I just done something wrong?
So for some reason on my skyblock server using ASkyBlock sometimes there is spots on islands
that dont spawn any mobs what so ever until i break the spawners and re-add them was wondering
if that is your issue or chunk issue or askyblock issue?
version: 5.0.2
1.12.2 paper
Can someone help a brother out and tell me what in WorldGuard is causing the message "Denied by WorldGuard" when attempting to change a spawner?
SOLVED
It was an issue with silk spawners not being supported by WG. I found the following option in SilkSpawners config and set it to false.
# Should be checked for WorldGuard build ability to change spawners
useWorldGuard: true
Why is it not updated to 1.13 yet? Is there anyway i can help to get the update up faster?
In reply to supernavoeimc:
Ok so I have a small problem. I'm playing with this on my server and mined a skeleton spawner with my silk touch pick. However, upon placing it down in a mob spawn area, nothing spawned. ss view is telling me it is a pig spawner. I went into creative and now it is a permanent pig spawner as in i can't change it through any of the available methods. Can you help me?
