You can use the Dolly from JABBA to move vanilla chests, chests from Iron Chests, BC Tanks and machines Thermal Expansion and IC2. Be careful as it can't move Factorization Barrels, or Better Storage Chests. It's a good tool for reorienting said blocks.
When you have a filled dolly in your inventory you receive some penalty (slowness and mining fatigue iirc), but you can avoid it by putting the dolly in a backpack. This effect doesn't stack.
If you upgrade it with 3 diamons you get the Diamond Dolly, which can move spawners but only six times. This is the only tool to my knowledge that lets you transport a spawner across dimensions.
EDIT: Apparently you can use a Bedrock Pickaxe from RotaryCraft to retrieve vanilla spawners too. It takes no damage from doing that, but it's a very endgame item.
If this is possible, the player who fired the arrow, either by UUID or by username, should be stored somewhere for each arrow.
First I checked the wiki for an arrow entity's NBT data. But as you said, while ThrownEnderpearl
, ThrownExpBottle
, ThrownPotion
, and Snowball
all have an ownerName
field, Arrow
does seem to have anything indicating it would store the player who fired it.
I fired an arrow and checked its NBT in game, as I've noticed the wiki occasionally misses out data tags:
But again there was nothing that stored my player ID. (Note that UUIDMost and UUIDLeast are both for identifying the entity itself, not who fired it)
I wanted to see if the data of who shot an arrow persists through the world closing and opening. To do this, I:
- Created a world
- Shot an arrow straight up
- Closed the world
- Opened the world
- Quickly opened the world to LAN
- Logged in with an account that was on survival, positioned directly below the arrow
When the arrow hit the survival player, not only was no ping sound played for hitting a player, but the message in chat simply showed that the player was shot by "Arrow", rather than me:
(Note that both players were logged on, the one that shot the arrow and the one that got hit by it)
Because of this, I believe that the player who fired an arrow is not actually stored anywhere in an arrow's data.
Thus the answer to "Is there any way to summon arrows that are shot by a player or mob?" unfortunately seems to simply be no.
I suspect death messages and ping sounds are done temporarily in code, rather than stored anywhere that can be manipulated with commands. They are lost when the world reloads, and are not stored anywhere in the individual arrow's data.

There's this really useful tool on minecraft.tools that allows you to do this.
Go to http://minecraft.tools/en/spawn.php, then click on the large "Create a MobSpawner" button. Fill in all the necessary inputs, and click "Generate the Command". This will generate a command that will place down a mob spawner.
