Usage
Obtaining skeleton skulls and zombie heads :
For obtaining skeleton skulls and zombie heads, you can either kill zombies and skeletons via a charged creeper explosion, or you can use other mods and datapacks (like VanillaTweaks' More Mob Heads datapack.)
Making the spawner :
After obtaining the spawner, you will need either a zombie or a skeleton spawn egg to activate it. Just right click on the spawner while holding the spawn egg in your hand. (You can also do this while sneaking.)
Be careful not to waste your spawn eggs by right clicking somewhere other than a spawner!
To be able to have a proper spawner from scratch, you will need:
- 16 zombie heads
- 16 skeleton skulls
- Extra 8 skeleton skulls OR zombie heads (Depending on which one the spawner will be for)
- 3 diamond blocks
- 4 iron blocks
