Let’s make Monster spawners obtainable in survival!

Okay! I know how a way to make it possible to use the monster spawn in a way that works in survival! Silk touch to get (obv) then Get a lead on said mob! And like how you would on a fence tap the mob or (similar) onto the monster spawn and boom! Now that mob can spawn!

This would make mob farms so much easier.

Adding on to that, I'm thinking you should choose what monster it spawns as well by if it's empty, than have the mob of your choice touch the block to enter it, then if you want to switch it let another mob touch that block, and that first mob gets out. I don't know yet how to clear that monster spawner of the monster entirely. Also I think it should be renamed to "mob spawner" because it doesn't only work with monsters, you can use it on animals as well and any other mob that's compatible. You should also be able to keep the mob that's inside it after you obtain it.
