Hey everyone,

So I am creating a Colosseum equipped with gates that open to monsters that we can battle. Is there any possible way to move a monster spawner in a legitimate fashion? Pistons, Enchantments whatever ridiculousness it is... is it possible?

No need, now that we have Spawn Eggs. Assuming you're using Creative Mode.

i dont know im pretty sure you could mine it. it has for me but i think it did that because i had spawner gui on

[creeperkiller900]

DO NOT USE A STONE PICKAXE worst idea ever

[Toxic_Minecraft_Boss]

Use a diamond pick, that will work. I don't know if iron works, it might.
Hope this helped.

best chance in survival is to create a tool with silk touch to grab it.
in creative well...i dunno lol

[Anakinkyle]

Silk touch now does not work on spawners...

I have an idea, but you'll need to install TooManyItems, Modloader, and SpawnerGUI. With these, you could probably just spawn some spawners, put them where you want them to, and use SpawnerGUI to change the mob spawned.

Yeah, I should have put that there, since you do need Modloader for everything else by Risugami.

I have a craftable spawners mod that's really good, it's somewhere in the deep, dark chaos that is planet minecraft.

Currently you can use a pick with Silk Touch to grab any spawner, but when you place it back down it always changes to a pig spawner.

I am thinking of using frames from RedPower and see if I can move it that way. .... not sure since pistons can't move a spawner.

[Skyblu10]

There's a way to do this.

First, a pickaxe of any type will not work.

Second, you only need TMI (TooManyItems). After you install this mod, run the game to let it create a config file. Close out of minecraft, and go to your .minecraft folder to find the config. The config is located at: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\TooManyItems.txt

Once you are there, down at the bottom it will say "spawner:Pig"
Replace Pig with whatever mob you wish to place. Ex: If I wanted Zombies, i would change it to say "spawner:Zombie"
Now when you place down a spawner, it will spawn the mob that is listed in the config file.

REMEMBER: Close out of minecraft completely when you do this, so it loads in the new spawner type.

If you're playing survival I think you can use a piston, In creative you can just have dispensers with monster eggs which are attached to a timer so when someone steps inn it fires the eggs automatically
