SilkSpawners - Harvest mob spawners with silk touch

Version v7.1.0

Thanks for more than 2 MILLION downloads!

This plugin requires Java >=8!

A sign shop addon for buying and selling spawners can be found here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/

Description

Ever wanted to move a mob spawner? With SilkSpawners, you can now pick up and move monster spawners.
If you use a pickaxe with the silktouch enchantment you will receive the spawner again.
You can control each mob spawner, allow crafting and of course mod support.

I'm happy to hear about your opinion, just leave a comment with a feature request, bug, improvement or just a personal opinion.

As a reminder I want to say that I worked very long on this and really appreciate a 'thank you' in form of a donation! (See details on the bottom or the button on the top)

Known Bugs

If sign shops are not working, you may want to try my custom sign shop addon: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/12028/
Mobs like Ghasts or Giants are too big for the spawner, this a Minecraft bug and I can't fix that
Some older Essentials versions/ports are not updated properly for 1.8. There is a maintained fork called EssentialsX you should try.
- You can find the source here: GitHub
- And the download from Jenkins here: Jenkins
If you use Gui Sign Shop and users are unable to place spawners, you need to grant them the guishop.spawner permission from Gui Sign Shop
Holographic Displays makes Slime spawners non functional
UltraCosmetics, causes some spawners to non function: https://github.com/iSach/UltraCosmetics/issues/259
