Can you move a Minecraft spawner?

Yes, you can move a Minecraft spawner. Depending on how you want to move the spawner, there are different ways to do it.

If you want to move the exact spawner to a different location, one way to do this is to build a frame around the spawner, two slabs high. Then you can fill the frame with water so that the spawner is ‘floating’, and then you can move it to the desired location.

If you want to duplicate the exact mob spawner, you can use a Spawn Eggs With NBT mod or a Mob Griefing Generator mod. This will allow you to create a custom mob spawner and adjust the parameters such as the entity type and settings.

Finally, if you simply want to change the type of mob that is spawning at your current spawner, you can use mods like Mob Spawn Controls or Mob Spawn Controls Ultimate. These mods allow you to change the spawner type, such as changing a spider spawner to a zombie spawner, for example.

Overall, you can easily move a Minecraft spawner with the correct tools and mods. With the correct mod, you can create a custom spawner with whatever parameters you desire, or you can move your current spawner or change the type of mob that it spawns.

Can I move a spawner with silk touch?

No, you cannot move a spawner with Silk Touch. This is because spawners are not natural blocks that can be obtained through mining. They are an entity, like a mob, and must be placed in the world rather than obtained from the environment.

This means that you cannot use Silk Touch on them, as it only applies to blocks that can be mined. Spawners can instead be moved using commands, such as the /setblock command.

How do you break a spawner in Minecraft and keep it?

Breaking a spawner in Minecraft is a relatively easy process, however, depending on your objectives, there are a few different techniques to keep a spawner once you have broken it.

If you are looking to keep the exact spawner in the same location, your best option is to trap it. This requires building a box or structure around the spawner to prevent it from breaking when mined.

Once it’s been trapped, you can cover the area with blocks of your choice and the spawner won’t go anywhere.

If you want to move the spawner to an alternate location, you can use a piston. Pistons allow players to carry blocks and items, so you can attach a piston to a spawner and move it to another spot. Take care when doing this, as being too rough with the spawner might break it.

You can also use an item frame to keep the spawner. Item frames will keep the spawner safe from mining, so all you have to do is surround the item frame with blocks, and the spawner will stay safe inside.

No matter your method, it’s important to build adequate protection for the spawner. If you don’t, mobs might destroy the spawner or even endermen can pick it up and move it away. Make sure to check for nearby hostile mobs when constructing the spawner’s protection or building a piston or item frame system.

How do you disable a spawner without destroying it?

To disable a spawner without destroying it, you can use weapons with the “silk touch” enchantment, which allows you to pick it up without breaking it. If the spawner is very deep and hard to reach, you can use blocks to access it, such as ladders, or explosives like TNT or Creeper eggs to clear a path.

You can also use water or lava to push blocks away until you can reach the spawner. Once you have put the spawner in a safe place, you can disable it by putting a block of your choice on top of it. This will prevent any mobs from spawning, while still maintaining the spawner’s original structure.

Can you break and keep spawners?

Yes, you can break and keep spawners in Minecraft. This can be done by using a pickaxe with the silk touch enchantment on it. When you use the pickaxe to mine the spawner, it will drop a block that has the properties of the mob spawner.

You can then place this block anywhere you want in the same game, or even put it into your inventory for use in other worlds and games. Of course, you won’t be able to get the spawner’s original mob back from the block, but it will still have the same properties of the original spawner.

Can u pick up a monster spawner in Minecraft?

No, it is not possible to pick up a monster spawner in Minecraft. Monster spawners are blocks that generate mobs that can attack players or villagers. They cannot be broken, so they cannot be picked up.

They can be obtained in Creative Mode, but they cannot be picked up in Survival Mode. However, it is possible to manipulate the mob spawn rate of a monster spawner by using commands. This can be done by using the /setblock command with the [spawnCount] NBT tag.

Can spawners be broken?

Yes, spawners can be broken in the Minecraft world. When broken, they drop a single mob spawner item which can be used to create a custom mob spawner. When broken with a pickaxe, the type of mob spawned by the spawner is determined by the pickaxe’s material – diamond pickaxes will spawn a cave spider spawner, iron pickaxes will spawn a zombie spawner, and so on.

However, spawners can only be mined with an iron pickaxe or higher, otherwise they will be destroyed. Additionally, if a player has an equipped silk touch enchantment, they can carefully mine and retrieve the spawner without damaging it.

Do villagers keep spawners active?

No, villagers do not keep spawners active. Spawners are activated by monsters, which villagers are not capable of doing. Spawners can be found naturally occurring in some structures, such as dungeons, but these spawners will only remain active if there is a valid spawning area and enough monsters to fill it.

If the area is empty, the spawner will deactivate and no more mobs will spawn. Some players have attempted to use villagers to keep spawners active by placing them inside the spawning area, but this does not work as villagers cannot activate spawners.

How far away should you AFK from a spawner?

It is recommended to AFK around 10 blocks or more away from a spawner. This way you will not be in range of any spawning mobs and ensure that you don’t take any damage from them. The farther away you AFK, the less likely any of the mobs that randomly spawn from the spawner will be able to reach you and cause any problems.

If possible, It’s also a good idea to AFK in an enclosed area or near blocks that can obstruct the mob’s path to you.

Will torches stop spawners?

No, torches will not stop spawners from spawning. Spawners are blocks that naturally generate in the game that spawn mobs. Torches are lighting items that prevent hostile mobs from spawning in a certain area, however, they will not stop an existing spawner from producing mobs.

This means that torches cannot be used to prevent mob spawns near a spawner, only to keep other mobs from spawning in the area. It is possible to stop a spawner from spawning mobs by placing a block in front of it, but this cannot be done with a torch.

Do spawners only work when you are near?

No, spawners do not only work when you are near them. Spawners will spawn monsters regardless of whether or not you are nearby. If you have a spawner set up in a particular location, it will still spawn monsters even if you are far away.

However, if you are in close proximity to a spawner, then it will spawn more monsters at a faster rate. This is because monsters that spawn near players are more likely to attack them, so the faster they spawn, the better the chance of attacking you.
