Better Spawner Control Mod FAQ

Place torches directly around the spawner so it's fully surrounded by them. Once the torches are in position, the spawner stops spawning mobs automatically.

The spawner needs to be surrounded by five torches. Place them around the spawner's sides and top so all surrounding positions are covered.

Yes, blaze spawners are the main reason this mod exists. Surround a blaze spawner with torches and it stops producing blazes.

Yes. Break the torches surrounding the spawner and it will start spawning mobs again as normal.

Any torch works as long as it counts as a torch to the mod. Just make sure each surrounding position actually holds a torch, not another light source.

The most common mistake is not covering every required surrounding position, or leaving a gap where a torch fell off. Check that all five torch spots are filled and the spawner is fully surrounded.

No, it only toggles spawning on and off based on the torch arrangement. Loot, XP, and spawner mechanics otherwise stay vanilla.

Yes, but a disabled spawner won't produce mobs. Build your farm first, then remove the torches to re-enable spawning when you're ready to collect mobs.

It generally works alongside mods that don't rewrite spawner spawning logic, but mods that replace spawner behavior may conflict. Test in a copy of your world before relying on it.

No, it only checks the torch arrangement around spawners, which is lightweight. Any lag you see is more likely from the mobs themselves or other mods.
