This is a simple mod designed to make spawners challenging without being too complicated or hardcore.
Changes
Spawners are now 3x slower to break.
Spawners spawn evil spirits when broken regardless of light level.
Spawners inflict wither when broken.
Spawners break torches placed near them.
*All changes can be disabled/enabled in the config
Evil Spirits
The evil spirit is a new hostile mob.
They spawn naturally in the soul sand valley and spawn between 2-5 when a spawner is broken.
They target animals and players. If an evil spirit kills anything, another evil spirit will spawn.
They are immune to all effects
Compatability
This mod will work with any mod as long as it doesn't change the vanilla spawner block to a modded spawner block.
Mods that allow you to silk touch spawners will still apply spawner break effects when broken.
