Minecraft – Making Mob Spawners

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-worldedit

I'm trying to make Mob Spawners with WorldEdit. According to their wiki:

Mob spawner mob type
The mob spawner mob type can be specified after a pipe symbol (|).

Example: Setting mob type
//set mobspawner|Squid

I've tried this, and it doesn't seem to work, I still get a mob spawner with a pig inside. The pipe symbol (which I can type here fine as |) comes up as ¦ in the Minecraft console, is this a problem?

Best Answer

If you are using WorldEdit you must have Bukkit installed. If so install this plugin

With this, you'll be able to change the spawn to whatever you like.

UPDATE

I've found exactly what you're looking for here

You can craft mob spawners with ingredient, you just have to download Mod Loader and put some class in the .minecraft/mods folder. You should find instructions on his page. And yes it's for single player
