I've used the /give commands before for simple things but cannot figure out how to use them to get a Mob spawner on my server. Has anyone done this before? I know the data value and the mob id, but can't figure out how to put them together to get a successful spawner.

For example, I've tried the following. 52 is the data value for the mob spawner, 51 is the id for a skeleton, and 1 is my guess at how many ticks should be used as the delay:

/give player 52 TAG_String("51") TAG_Short("1")

This does not work and I can't figure out if i'm supposed to have "Tag_String" in there, or if the quotes are supposed to be there or what. Does anyone have an example of a working command for this that I can reference?

Thanks!

*facepalm*
mob spawners can't be changed without plugins.

correct syntax: /give (playername) (itemname) (amount) (metadata #)

example:       /give cheesyguy278 log 64 2
2 is the type of log being giving, which is either birch or redwood, but im not sure which.

Ohh ok I apologize, I guess I misread the information on the wiki. So are there any plugins that work for SMP? All the mods I've seen only work in single player.

Thanks!

Use ESSENTIALS.
Essentials helps you with easy stuff like changing a pig spawner to any spawner

Once essentials is installed, type /spawner <mobtype>

Please press the green arrow up if I helped!

You can easily spawn in and change the type of mob spawners with Essentials.

Just type the following:
/give <name> 52 1

Place the mob spawner down, look at it, and type:
/spawner <spawner type>

Permission nodes:
essentials.spawner
essentials.spawner.<mob> -OR- essentials.spawner.*
