📋 About This Mod
Spawners in vanilla Minecraft are infinite mob factories — set up a farm once and it runs forever. Decaying Spawners changes that. Each spawner has a limited lifespan: once it has spawned enough mobs (or been active long enough), it burns out and stops working permanently.
Configuration
Configuration is loaded from: ``` config/btwr/decaying_spawners/decaying_spawners.json ```
| Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `maxMobSpawnCount` | `12` | How many mobs a spawner can spawn before decaying. Set to `-1` to disable. | | `maxSpawnerTicks` | `-1` | How many active ticks a spawner can run before decaying. Set to `-1` to disable. | | `excludedSpawners` | `[]` | A list of entity IDs whose spawners will never decay. |
Example config: ```json { "maxMobSpawnCount": 20, "maxSpawnerTicks": -1, "excludedSpawners": [ "minecraft:blaze", "minecraft:silverfish" ] } ```
> Changes to the config file take effect the next time you load a world
