Hello, I have a question that no one has been able to answer yet! xD

I have multiple spawners I would like to secure, if possible.

I would like: no one, even people I trust, to be able to break or pickup my spawners once I make them private.

Is this possible?

If so, I would appreciate any help you can provide in showing me how to do this.

Lastly, if there is anyway verification can be provided I would be even more grateful! xD By this I mean, I don't want someone to say, "yeah sure, just put a sign on it!" and then I go test it out and I end up loosing a spawner... lol.

Thank you very much!

 

Is this on .net or .org? Because I know for a fact on .net it's as easy as putting a sign on it to lock it.

 

Take a fence gate and place it on top of the spawner. Grab a sign and type in...
[Private]
-Name-

Once you've finished, you can break the fence gate and your spawners will be securely protected.

 

I used just a string on top of mine to keep someone from changing it. But mine are in the ground with only the top sticking out, so if its not like that, you can just lock it with a sign like normal

 

A string? That wouldn't keep people I have trusted from simply breaking the string... or the surrounding blocks of the spawner in order to break the spawner lol. Right?

 

Why the fence gate? And I don't suppose I could test this theory on one of your spawners? lmao

 

I think you just have to put a trapdoor on the spawner's edge, then a sign on the spawner that references the trapdoor. You can break the trapdoor afterwards

 

The fence gate sets a sign on lockette, and I don't have a spawner.

 

Oh I see. Could I do the 4 steps below and still have a secure spawner?

1) Set a fence gate ontop of spawner
2) Place a sign on spawner to make private/secure
3) Break fence gate ontop of spawner
4) place blocks ontop of spawner (to keep mobs from spawning and standing directly ontop of spawner)

Thanks!

 

I believe so.

 

It def. works, I just had a mod I trusted try to break one of my spawners after the steps 1-4, above, were done. Completely secure!

Now say for example, I have a spawner surrounded by blocks on 5 out of 6 sides (place in the ground), can I still keep the 5 blocks surrounding it and secure it on top somehow?...
I can't put a sign UNDER the spawner or something to lock it, can I ?...

Thanks!

 

No you need a trapdoor, well that what it says at /warp faq, check it out!

 

I saw at FAQ, the problem I am having is that my spawner has blocks on all sides of it EXCEPT the top. So I wouldn't be able to use the strategy at /warp FAQ...

Hmmm....
