Minecraft has a lot of blocks, but what if they had more? Why do we need them? Please don't just add lists of things - these will be marked as spam and removed! Also, no furniture, guns, or vertical/"sideways"/"upright"/"standing" slabs (yes, we see you).

Craftable monster spawners

Spawners are craftable from eight spawner fragments.  You obtain fragments by breaking spawners.  The fragment is different depending on what kind of spawner it came from.  So you can turn eight skeleton spawner fragments into one skeleton spawner.

However, you can also include a mob head in the middle of the spawner fragments (this would necessitate more mob heads being available).  Using mob heads, you can turn a random mixture of spawner fragments into a specific spawner type.

This means that to have a spawner where you want it you have to explore enough to find eight spawners of the same type, or eight spawners period and obtain a mob head of the mob you want to spawn.

This mob head based crafting recipe could be limited to spawner types that currently exist in world gen or open new spawner options, such as creeper spawners.

    If you mean the part where it might be open to any mob being crafted with the spawner, that's why I have that part as a maybe.

    Everything else gives you the exact same abilities you have in vanilla with spawners.  They only difference is they are where you want them instead of where they happen to be found.

    And you have to, at a minimum, find and break eight spawners before you can craft one.  That's eight farms that you could have made but chosen not to.

    I have done everything I can to balance it to make it not overpowered.  Anything you can suggest to make it even less overpowered?

    perhaps to nerf it more, the spawn time is longer.

    I think this is a decent idea. This would allow you to place a spawner closer to where you wish it to be, with a negative that you first must find at least 8 of the same type and destroy them to make just one. You could also make it so that you have a % chance that when you break a spawner no craftable piece drops. This would make it so that a minimum of 8 would be needed if you were lucky on all the first 8 other wise perhaps depending upon the random gods you could potentially have to break way more than 8 to obtain just one placeable spawner. You could also make it such that you have to somehow craft the eggs to place in them, that would require so many items off each type of mob such as make skeleton heads a droppable item from Skeletons, yet make them rare and you would need 10 of those to make just one egg. This could be done with each mob type to create what egg type you need. Just make this well work to obtain, rather than a simple task.

    Also could make the spawner have a chance of 0-3 spawner fragments everytime you mine it

    I like the idae but it has to be more difficult to create, let's say 3 Blackstone, 3 Iron ingots, the characteristic loot of the mob, a nether star and a diamond.
