📋 About This Mod
Description This mod allows you to prevent players from rushing and lighting spawners to shut them down easily. This makes dungeons harder and more exciting. This mod also provides you the option to change the behavior of standard spawners so that they have a less reliable life span and may even explode. Default Behavior <details> <summary>Spoiler</summary> By default, Harder Spawners take about as long to break as Obsidian. By default, animal and Blaze spawners will not fail. By default, Spawners will explode a third of the time when they fail. You can increase or reduce this. By default, the spawner will break any bright block placed near it and block placing any bright liquid near it (with a extinguishing sound effect). Spawners can be configured to be stunned for 1 to 27 minutes instead of destroyed. The 27 minutes is a hard limit from Minecraft. Spawners can take Revenge (Sweet Revenge) on players trying to destroy them. The Spawner's Revenge stops 2 seconds after player stops trying to break the spawner or the spawner is stunned or destroyed.
