Update 0.9.0 |
Monster Spawners (AKA Mob Spawners) are Blocks that spawn Mobs in a small radius around them. They are cage-like in appearance and were added in Update 0.9.0.
Usage
Monster Spawners spawn Mobs around them in a radius of 3 blocks depending on the Mob they are programmed to spawn. A small image of the Mob on Fire will rotate inside the cage, and will gradually increase in size, until the Mob spawns.
Locating
Mob Spawners are only found in Dungeons, Strongholds, Nether Fortresses, Caves, and Abandoned Mineshafts, accompanied by Chests containing various Items. They are presumed to challenge the Players that try to raid the chests.
Disabling
The spawn area is an 8x8x3 box centered on a corner of the cage, and the mob can spawn within this box if there is enough room and the proper lighting. As a result, to disable the spawner the Player needs to make the light level be 8 or higher in the entire spawn box.
This can achieved by placing 1 Torch on top of it, or placing 4 Torches on its sides. Alternatively, if the Player makes a large room, the Player can use a lot of Redstone Lamps which would then allow the Player to switch the spawner on or off at their discretion.
Alternatively, the Monster Spawners can also be disabled by breaking them.
Trivia
