Difficult Spawners

This mod offers a simple yet effective way to make spawners in Minecraft more challenging without making them unbearably difficult.

Main Changes

Breaking spawners now takes three times longer. When destroyed, evil spirits spawn regardless of the surrounding light level. Additionally, breaking a spawner inflicts the wither effect on the player, and torches placed nearby automatically break.

All these changes can be individually disabled or enabled through the mod's configuration file.

Evil Spirits

Evil spirits are a new hostile mob that spawns naturally in the soul sand valley. When a spawner is broken, 2 to 5 of these creatures appear. They target animals and players, and killing any target spawns another evil spirit. These entities are completely immune to all effects.

Compatibility

The mod is compatible with any other modifications as long as they don't replace standard spawners with custom blocks. Even when using silk touch tools to collect spawners, the break effects still activate.
