A way to force players to break spawners

We all know that the spawner was meant to be a hindrance for the player and a priority target for destruction. As a reward for destroying the spawner, the player gains experience. But now the spawner is just an imbalanced endless source of resources and experience (we know why). I know how to fix this. A new game rule can be introduced: If the player does not break the spawner for too long to gain experience, but is nearby, then after a while the spawner simply explodes (depriving the player of the opportunity to gain experience). And at the same time, the explosion catches the treasure chests and the player.

    I don't think spawners were meant to be a "hinderance", but more as a way to make the dungeons actually have mobs in them without them all despawning.

    Plus, at this point, I think being able to use spawners for farming is a reasonable and "intended" use for them. I don't think they need to change it.

    Yes, this change could have a significant impact on the gameplay. That is why it is optional. Indeed, before creating the world, the player can easily turn off phantoms, spawn robber patrols, and turn on saving inventory.
