How to Pick Up a Spawner in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to scoop up those tricky spawners in Minecraft? Let’s dive into how you can take those handy mob spawners with you.
How does one go about picking up a spawner in Minecraft, you ask? We’re about to break it down for you, step by step.
Short Form Answer: Grabbing That Spawner
Here’s the deal: in the vanilla version of Minecraft, you actually can’t pick up spawners. That’s right, no matter how hard you try, those spawners won’t budge without a little help.
But don’t lose heart! Mods to the rescue. A popular mod called Silk Touch Enchantment allows players to pick up spawners. All you need is to enchant a pickaxe with Silk Touch, and voilà, you can mine a spawner and carry it away.
Why Can’t I Pick Up Spawners in Vanilla Minecraft?
In the core game, Minecraft developers designed spawners to be immovable objects. This was likely to maintain game balance and prevent players from creating overly efficient mob farms easily. But with modifications like Silk Touch available, it’s not impossible, just a bit more of a challenge.
Remember, mods are additional software that you download and add to your Minecraft game. They change how the game works, adding new possibilities like picking up spawners. Always make sure you get mods from reputable sources to keep your gaming experience safe and fun.
