Harder Spawners - Enhanced Spawners

This mod fundamentally changes the mechanics of spawners in Minecraft, making dungeons truly dangerous and exciting. Instead of allowing players to easily neutralize spawners with torches, they now become a serious challenge.

Main Features

Spawners gain increased durability - by default they break at about the same rate as obsidian. But this is just the beginning of the changes! Spawners can fail after a certain number of spawns, and in some cases even explode with a 33% probability.

Retaliation System

When trying to destroy a spawner, the player risks facing its retaliation. Depending on the settings, the spawner can apply various effects to the player:

• Levels 1-3: Poison I-III
• Levels 4-6: Wither I-III
• Levels 7-11: Wither I-V + Blindness

The retaliation effect stops 2 seconds after the player stops attacking the spawner or when the spawner becomes disabled.

Durability Configuration

Spawner durability is now a random value within the minimum and maximum range for each creature type. By default, for undefined types, the range is set from 50 to 500 durability units. Spawners with zero durability become indestructible.

Iron blocks are used to repair spawners, restoring 10 durability points. Settings can be modified through the configuration file:

# Item used to repair spawner durability
# Format: 'modid:item_name'
durabilityRepairItem = "minecraft:iron_block"
# Amount of restored durability
# Range: 0 ~ 1000
"durabilityRepairAmount " = 10

Advanced Settings

The mod allows fine-tuning of various spawner parameters:

• Player activation distance: from 8 to 32 blocks
• Maximum nearby entities: from 4 to 32
• Spawn radius: from 4 to 16 blocks
• Light level: from 0 to 15
• Resistance to burning and drowning: up to 9999 seconds

You can also configure temporary spawner disabling for periods from 1 to 27 minutes instead of complete destruction.

Compatibility

Harder Spawners works with standard Minecraft spawners. If other mods use their own spawner implementations, this mod will not recognize them.

The mod automatically blocks placement of light sources near spawners, including lamps from other mods whose names contain "_lamp".
