It adds a tool that can catch mobs which can then be placed into a spawner. It aims to be "immersive" by making use of the base game magic components. ## 🆕 What does it add? ### Soul Catcher !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/soul_catcher.webp) The Soul Catcher is a new item that can capture a mob's soul. For this to work, the mob needs to have an active weakness effect which could be applied using a throwable potion of weakness. Mobs that should not be capturable can be adjusted in the config. Bosses are not capturable by design. The time it takes to catch a mob depends on its hitbox volume, so something small like a chicken will be caught pretty quickly while something big like a ghast can take some time. While a mob is being captured, its AI will be disabled, so it will not be able to move or attack. It can be crafted using this recipe: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/recipe_soul_catcher.webp) This is how it looks ingame: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/soul_catcher_anim.webp) Ponder scene: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/soul_catcher_ponder.webp) ### Mechanical Spawner !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/mechanical_spawner.webp) The Mechanical Spawner is a new kinetic block that can spawn mobs according to the Soul Catcher placed inside. For this to work, it needs rotational force and a supply of liquid. Refer to recipes in JEI for more information about this. The spawner will repeatedly spawn the contained mob type in the same range a vanilla spawner would. When 6 or more mobs of this type are already inside of this range, the spawner will stall. It needs a minimum rotation speed of 128 RPM and its stress impact depends on the contained mob types max health, so something like an enderman will require a lot more SU than a chicken. **(NEW!)** The spawning area can be configured by right-clicking the block with either an empty hand or a wrench. The Mechanical Spawner can be crafted in a 5x5 Mechanical Crafter grid using this recipe: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/recipe_mechanical_spawner.webp) This is how it looks ingame: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/mechanical_spawner_anim.webp) Ponder scene: !(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/mechanical_spawner_ponder.webp) The exact stress impact is calculated using this graph (the cap at 80 SU / RPM is configurable): <img alt="Stress Impact Graph" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/stress_impact_graph.webp" width="400"> Some examples: | Mob | SU @ 128 RPM | SU @ 256 RPM | |----------|--------------|--------------| | Chicken | 1,024 | 2,048 | | Ghast | 1,769 | 3,538 | | Zombie | 2,560 | 5,120 | | Enderman | 5,120 | 10,240 | | Ravager | 10,240 | 20,480 | Note that the Ravagers stress impact is capped in this example, as the default configuration will cap everything at 80 SU / RPM. ## 🤝 Integrations / Compatibilities ### JEI Displays: - Fluid and required amount - Spawning duration at minimum and maximum RPM - Additional spawn attempts - 1 spawned entity is guaranteed, additional attempts rely on RNG to find a fitting spot for the mob, so a spawner without any obstruction in its range will work most efficiently <img alt="JEI" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/jei.webp" width="687"> ### Jade Displays: - Contained mob type - Contained fluid - Progression status - Reason for stalling (if applicable) <img alt="Jade" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kvnmtz/create-mob-spawners/refs/heads/main/docs/jade.webp" width="600"> ### Recipes Required liquids and their effects are defined in standard minecraft recipes. They can easily be modified using something like *KubeJS*. This is the recipe for spawning with standard Potion of Regeneration liquid: ```json { "type": "create_mob_spawners:spawning", "input": { "amount": 200, "fluid": "create:potion", "nbt": { "Potion": "minecraft:regeneration", "Bottle": "REGULAR" } }, "spawn_ticks_at_max_speed": 100, "additional_spawn_a
