Written by: Jones69
> **WHAT IS A SPAWNER?**
Spawners are specialized in-game blocks with the ability to summon a wide range of in-game mobs when certain conditions are met. Visually, spawners appear as cage-like structures with an internal fire burning. They also feature a rotating miniature mob inside the cage, signifying the specific type of mob that the spawner will create.

> **HOW TO OBTAIN SPAWNERS**
You can acquire spawners in various ways, depending on your current progression:
* Events: Some seasonal events will have special spawners, like the witch spawner that can be bought on Halloween.
* Viscount Rank and Above: Players with a Viscount rank or higher can use a silk touch pickaxe to mine spawners. The obtained spawner is transferred directly to your inventory, so ensure you have an empty slot available.
* Various Locations: Spawners can be discovered in different in-game structures and locations. Here are some examples:\
\
■ **Zombie Spawners:** Commonly located in dungeons.\
■ **Skeleton Spawners:** Also found in dungeons.\
■ **Spider Spawners:** Can be found in dungeons as well.\
■ **Cave Spider Spawners:** Typically located in abandoned mineshafts.\
■ **Blaze Spawners:** Commonly found in Nether fortresses.\
■ **Silverfish Spawners:** Unique to strongholds, often located in the End Portal room.\
■ **Magma Cube Spawners:** Generated in the treasure room of bastions.

> **WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH SPAWNERS?**
Spawners offer various functionalities for enhancing your gaming experience:
* **Setting Up a Grinder**: Spawners can be used to create mob grinders, allowing you to collect valuable resources efficiently.
* **Dismantling Spawners**: By using the dismantler located at /dismantler and left-clicking it twice, you can dismantle spawners. This action provides you with the opportunity to obtain a Summoner Shard. Using nine Summoner Shards enables you to craft a Summoner Orb, which grants access to higher-tier and new spawner types. Additionally, these shards can also be obtained from Pinata Parties and all key crates.
