Spawner Bug Fix
This client-side mod fixes an issue causing lag in Minecraft version 1.16. The problem occurs when using spawners configured to create endermen and zombified piglins.
The error is related to the game engine's inability to properly display miniature models of certain mobs inside spawners. Instead, the system continuously attempts to perform rendering, resulting in repeated error messages in the console and significant performance drops.
Which Mobs Cause the Problem
The issue affects the following creatures:
- Bee
- Enderman
- Polar Bear
- Wolf
- Zombified Piglin
- Evoker Fangs
For comparison: spawners with other mobs (such as elder guardians) work correctly and display miniature models inside the cage.
Technical Details
This error is officially registered as MC-189565 and falls under the "Performance" and "Rendering" categories. It's important to note that in Minecraft version 1.17, this issue was fixed by the game developers.
The mod is particularly useful for mapmakers and players using mods that add custom spawners with endermen. For example, the popular Dungeon Crawl mod, used in the Two Guys Modpack, creates exactly such spawners.
