About this Mod

Silk Spawners

Enables to "silk touch" mob spawners and trial spawners, retaining all their data,
and optionally allows regular players to place them as well.
(Can be toggled with the silk_spawner_skipCreativeOpCheck gamerule)

The enchantments that allow to mine and keep spawners data are defined by the
silk_spawner:can_silk_spawners enchantments tag, and only include the minecraft:silk_touch
enchantment by default.

The mod can be used to allow keeping all block data of a block by using the minecraft:copy_custom_data
loot function, and setting the target as ::block_entity_data.

For safety measures, the silk_spawner_skipCreativeOpCheck gamerule is only applicable to spawner
block entities, to avoid anyone placing blocks with data such as command blocks.
