Variable Spawner Hardness
Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16–1.21. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Makes spawners take longer to destroy depending on your difficulty for a slight extra challenge.
You can find the downloads for your specific version and mod loader here.
Default spawner hardnesses
- Peaceful: Same hardness as vanilla (5F)
- Easy: Same as end stone (9F)
- Normal: Same as ender chests (22.5F)
- Hard: Same as ancient debris (30F)
- Hardcore: Same as obsidian (50F)
Unlike some of the blocks mentioned above, you can still destroy a spawner with any tool you want as long as you don't use your bare hands.
Config
As of v1.3.0, the spawner hardnesses are configurable in the variablespawnerhardness-common.toml config file.
