Block which acts as player to activate spawners?

[Badkuip]

I'm wondering if there is a block which will active a normal spawner if it is close to it.

In many modpacks U can build autospawners.
Ender IO, MFR, Draconic Revol, ExtraUtils will help U.
In vanila only AFK will work.

I *think* cursed earth makes vanilla spawners work without players (I haven't directly read this anywhere, but I've heard/seen it in a couple videos). Of course, that brings up the whole project of keeping light levels down, and killing the mobs, and processing their drops... Yeah, this is a fun project for anyone to work on.

Cursed earth does indeed do this. Gotta love XU! I only wish that sticky pistons could move cursed earth blocks. I end up using drawbridges from Tinkers Mechworks instead.

There's a block from Botania that, at the cost of some mana (probably a decent amount) will keep a vanilla spawner active. I forget the name, but I think you need some more advanced materials to get it.

There's also a block in RotaryCraft that can do it. The Spawner Controller, if placed on top of a spawner and fed enough shaft power, can be configured to turn the spawner off completely or to crank up its output manyfold.

Or Ganys nether extended spawners with the autonomous upgrade
