🪓 TouchySpawners
Mine spawners with Silk Touch — place them back as the exact same mob type.
Vanilla Minecraft destroys spawner data when a block is broken. TouchySpawners fixes that: break any spawner with a Silk Touch tool and it drops as an item that remembers the mob type. Place it down and it spawns exactly the same mob as before.
✅ Features
- Break spawners with any Silk Touch tool (pickaxe, axe, shovel, hoe — all work)
- The dropped item stores the mob type internally using
BlockStateMeta - Placing the item restores the original mob type instantly
- No config needed — works out of the box
- Creative mode players are excluded (spawners break normally there)
