Please Help! Need help defining spawners

Hello,

I need help defining what type of spawner has been mined. I want it so you can gather spawners with silk touch. Right now it just drops a normal mob spawner. I want it to give you the same spawner you mined.

Code:java

package me.smalltrout.SilkSpawn;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.block.CreatureSpawner;
import org.bukkit.enchantments.Enchantment;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.block.BlockBreakEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class SilkSpawn extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {
 
@Override
public void onDisable(){
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 
@Override
public void onEnable(){
Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
}
 
 
@EventHandler
public void onBlockBreak(BlockBreakEvent event){
if (event.getBlock().getType() == Material.MOB_SPAWNER){
 
Player player = event.getPlayer();
short durability = 90;
CreatureSpawner csBlock = (CreatureSpawner)event.getBlock().getState();
 
if(player.getItemInHand().containsEnchantment(Enchantment.SILK_TOUCH)){
 
ItemStack dropSpawner = new ItemStack(Material.MOB_SPAWNER, 1, durability);
 
csBlock.getWorld().dropItemNaturally(csBlock.getLocation(), dropSpawner);
 
}
 
 
}
 
}
}
 

I am new to coding please help!

Thanks!

Ahh, this. It is actually a bit more complicated than that.
You can't actually define that, because that data is not kept as an item stack. Try... Lore. Try adding a lore, and on BlockPlaceEvent check for that lore.

 

What about natural? NBT.

 

Ahh, That might work. I'm not very familiar with the NBT tag system, so I can't be much help with that.


Wait! I just noticed. Remove this code. You don't register events in onDisable.

Code:java

@Override
public void onDisable(){
getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);//THIS LINE
}

 

Smalltrout set the durability to the entity ID (you can get the EntityType from the CreatureSpawner, in turn this will give you access to getTypeId())

That works? I wish I knew that when I did something similar

 

Thanks! Could you give me an example of that? fireblast709

 

Smalltrout getting the EntityType and getting the entity ID.
