Crafted spawner longevity question

[heecks]

How long a crafted spawner will last...forever or a set number of mobs inside like by exemple a T5 spawner need 1024 kill ?

By crafted spawner I assume you mean a Soul Shards made one. If so they will never run out.

Yes I made a crafted soul shard T5 spawner and thank for answer.

remember t5 spawned mobs do not react to light levels so make sure you make an off switch with a lever & some RP wire, this is a must have for any server & handy even off line play, many mobs & the tons of xp orbs will soon lag your server/game, light up the inside of your mob grinder well as last thing you need is a creeper to be a creeping.

or you kill them in a way that doesn't spawn XP when you are offline

no you still need an off switch as you still are spawning lot of entities & will place a strain on server hardware, plus if your playing on a server & not online its not right to have lot of automated stuff running, if there is any spillage your not there to fix it & will effect the players that are online, most admins will trash what ever is making the lag & then deal with the offender when he/she logs back in, in sort any & all automated systems require an off switch & really should not be running while player is off line, mho but upheld by most server admins, lets face it, its just logic really.

To actually answer the question- soul shards currently last forever, there's no 'recharging' or 'total spawn limit' on them.

But this might change in a later build.​
