I run a multiplayer game for a few friends and we are currently playing MoCreatures. There is a problem with the custom spawner used by MoCreatures where wither skeletons don't spawn. So, I thought I'd create a skeleton spawner in the nether.
I have successfully used the give command to give myself a pig spawner. The wiki says I should be able to right click with an egg to change what the spawner spawns. I can't get this to work. So, I tried the setblock command to change the block. However I get that setblock is an unknown command. Use slash help for a list of commands. Setblock is not in the list.
Is there something I have to do to enable the setblock command?
EDIT: Never mind. I figured it out - we're in 1.6.4. Setblock doesn't exist yet. Sorry for the bother.
I am following this information from the wiki here: http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Spawner

1.7.2 was released in october 2013 and 1.8(current) was released in september 2014
To set a wither skeleton spawner in the over world, use:
/setblock x y z mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:Skeleton,SpawnData:{SkeletonType:1}}
x y z are coordinates
using SpawnData:{IsBaby:1} for Zombie or Zombie Pigman spawners, you can make them spawn baby zombies or baby zombie pigmen
Also, if you use powered:1 when setting a Creeper spawner, it can spawn charged creepers
