Just right click on it with your egg. Make sure that egg for spawner option is enable in the the spawnersilk config file.

Is there any kind of explosion control where the spawner will drop if exploded with TNT or Creeper? Also a percentage chance of the drop?

No, there is no system like that. But if you want, I can add this feature in the next update.

That would be great! I need something like that for Factions and your plugin integrates with ShopGUIplus. You might want to check with the latest build of ShopGUIplus as they changed their API for spawners if I recall. In SilkSpawners there's an option like this "explosionDropChance: 30"

NEW API:

It seem you don't have the last version of SpawnerSilk. This is patched since version 2.3.

Hey, so I got this plugin and the creature capture plugin. and for some reason, slime spawners don't work. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but everything else works.

4.5/5

Great plugin, does what it's supposed to. If you have silk touch, you can mine a spawner.

My issue with it is that it gives you a pig spawner and an egg to change the spawner as opposed to just the specific spawner that you mined like other outdated plugins. I know that this is most likely because the other method would require much more work than it's worth, since this way works fine too.

I would like to possibly see a config in the future, if possible.

Edit: I should probably include stuff I'd want to see in the config...

- Possibly a command to give players a spawner. Eg. /givespawner [Player] [Spawner_Type] [Amount]

- Option to disable or enable that command along with choosing whether players can mine spawners with any pickaxe, or need silk touch specifically.

Overall, a good addition to my server, thank you!
