Spawners are Survival's mob farms. You earn mob points by killing wild mobs, spend them in the Spawner Shop to buy a spawner for a specific mob, place it, and the spawner then fills the area around it with a growing stack of that mob for you to kill. Spawners can be stacked into a single block, upgraded, and moved around with a Silk Touch tool.
How it fits together#
- Earn mob points by killing naturally spawned mobs. Harder mobs pay more. See Mob Points.
- Buy a spawner in the Spawner Shop (
/spawners) for 100,000 to 600,000 mob points, depending on the mob. See Obtaining Spawners. - Place it inside a claim you own or are a guest of. Placing another spawner of the same type against it stacks them, up to 64 in one block. See Spawner Stacking.
- Right-click the placed spawner to open its panel: withdraw spawners from the stack, buy upgrades, or check its status. See Spawner Upgrades.
- Kill the mobs it produces. They appear as one mob that shows a stack count, and drops and experience fall at the mob. See Spawner Production and Drops.
- Earn milestone rewards for long-term activity; they are paid automatically and
/milestonesshows your progress. See Spawner Milestones.
