SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch

Version v8.1.0

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)

Demonstration

Thanks @Koz4christ

Known Bugs

• Mobs like Ghasts or Giants are too big for the spawner, this a Minecraft bug and I can't fix that

  • And the download from Jenkins here: Jenkins
• 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
