Mob Spawners

[Riskae]

This is sort of half question half suggestion. As many of you probably already realize, after the 1.3 update destroying mob spawners will now give experience. One, I would like clarification on rules relating to the destruction of mob spawners (I was under the impression that it was frowned upon.), two i would like to, if it is not already a rule, propose that destroying them should be considered griefing.

I can understand where you are coming from and I understand why you would want that considered griefing. I think, and this is just my opinion, that if a mob spawner is clearly not being used then it would be perfectly fine to destroy the spawner. If no one is using it in the first place then it's fair game, no?

Secondly, even if the mob spawner is being used, it really all depends on what the staff thinks of mob spawners. If they feel that it may be a bit unfair to farm a spawner for items and experience, then it shouldn't be to much of a problem to allow the destruction of the spawner. If the staff feels that spawners are a part of the game and should be allowed, and see it fair, to use for such farming of items and experience then the staff can make the destruction of a spawner technically count as griefing.

I think because of how limited a resource they are it shouldn't be allowed, I'm pretty sure there is no other item in minecraft which there is less of and which can be destroyed. Also it already against the rules to destroy spawners in mob grinders, I'm just talking about the naturally generated ones though.

I should probably have done this a long time ago. Mob spawners can no longer be destroyed on the server.

Thanks Yotta.

Is it physically impossible because of a plugin, or is it now against the rules?

Plugin. Can't actually break the block.

What if, say, you're building something and you stumble upon a mob spawner that obstructs your building?

Ask an admin to get rid of it for you and if it is reasonable they probably will. :/
