How it works​

The Spawner rune attunes a monster spawner to a creature caught by an Ovicaptor. Build the cage around any monster spawner with an end portal frame on top. Hold the Ovicaptor egg and right-click the frame. The egg and the surrounding pattern are spent, and the spawner and its frame remain, changed. The cage attunes — this spawner will now call forth Cow.

From then on the spawner calls forth the attuned creature.

Good to know​

  • Only an egg sealed by an Ovicaptor works. The Spawner hungers for an Ovicaptor egg — a creature sealed by that rune.
  • The frame must crown a monster spawner. The end portal frame must crown a monster spawner.

Configuration​

These are the defaults in plugins/Runic/runes/spawner.yml. Every rune file also carries the shared settings described in Rune files.

Spawner has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones.
