Mob spawners resetting in SMP server (NBTEdit related)
I host a SMP server for me and my friends to play on. Recently I have been using the in-game NBTEdit mod to create custom mob spawners. Everything works fine here. However, every time when I shut down the server and start it up again, those custom mob spawners reset into normal pig spawners. And when I check them with NBTEdit, all my custom tags for the spawners are gone. It would be very frustrating for me to edit those spawners every single time. How can I fix this problem? Is there a way to keep them unchanged after restarting the server? 14.198.117.118 08:08, 22 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The wiki generally doesn't provide support, especially for mod-related issues; you'll get a better response by posting in the relevant forum thread. -- Orthotope 08:25, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Decompiled source
Aren't you not supposed to distribute Minecraft code? I am not very knowledgeable in this area if the question may seem stupid to you.

hmmm
if you use a silk touch enchantment will you get a monster(I don't mean human) spawner? 99.174.200.114 03:16, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * No. Like the article says, a spawner can't be retrieved at all in survival mode.  --Mental Mouse 03:35, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Creepers
Why does the article say that naturally spawners will not spawn Creepers? I found a Creeper spawner in a legit vanilla world.--96.227.140.85 03:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * If you're certain no mods or world editors were involved, post the world seed and coordinates so other people can confirm this. -- Orthotope talk 05:21, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
