How to Safely Work Around Disguised Monster Spawners

To keep your mob farms and dungeon coordinates secret in video clips, the DonutSMP HugoSMP Anti Leak Texturepack disguises monster spawners as regular stone blocks. Because the pack keeps all normal block behaviors intact, you can still accidentally mine and destroy a spawner if you mistake it for a wall block.

Identifying Spawners Without Breaking Them

Even though a monster spawner looks like a solid block of plain stone, it still behaves like a vanilla spawner in the world:

1. Watch for ambient flame and smoke particles emerging from the center of a regular-looking stone block.

2. Listen for the sound of mobs spawning inside your farm chamber.

3. When you are not streaming or recording, press F3 and look directly at the block to confirm it is a spawner via the Targeted Block text before swinging a pickaxe near it.

Protecting Your Spawner Room

When building or remodeling a mob grinder while the pack is enabled, use non-disguised blocks to mark the spawner's position safely:

• Do not use andesite, diorite, granite, tuff, or end stone to mark the spawner, as the pack turns all of those into normal stone as well.
• Instead, place torches directly on the disguised spawner or surround it with crafted building blocks (like cobblestone, planks, or glass) that are not altered by the pack. This keeps the spawner's true identity hidden on stream while preventing you from mining it during maintenance.
