Encaged
Encaged adds craftable spawners for twelve mobs, grouped into three tiers that can be enabled separately. A spawner is a large reward, so the chain leading to one is long and expensive.
Every ingredient is a vanilla drop or block: encaged adds no custom mob drops. The chain runs: golderite from gold and diamond, a mob-specific heart fragment, nine fragments into a mob heart, and finally the heart with golderite and obsidian into the spawner.
The spawner recipe has the same shape for every mob, so it only needs learning once. Only the alloy in it changes between tiers.
Each recipe makes one fragment for its mob. Nine fragments craft into that mob's heart.
| Mob | Tier | Ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Spider | Overworld | 2 spider eyes, 4 rotten flesh, 3 string |
| Cave spider | Overworld | 2 spider eyes, 1 poisonous potato, 3 rotten flesh, 3 string |
| Skeleton | Overworld | 7 bones, 1 bow, 1 arrow |
| Zombie | Overworld | 8 rotten flesh, 1 leather chestplate |
| Creeper | Overworld | 8 gunpowder, 1 fire charge |
| Blaze | Nether | 5 blaze rods, 1 fire charge, 3 gold ingots |
| Wither skeleton | Nether | 1 wither skeleton skull, 3 coal, 4 bones, 1 stone sword |
| Zombified piglin | Nether | 6 rotten flesh, 2 raw porkchops, 1 golden sword |
| Drowned | Aquatic | 5 rotten flesh, 3 sponges, 1 leather chestplate |
| Squid | Aquatic | 8 ink sacs, 1 sponge |
| Glow squid | Aquatic | 8 glow ink sacs, 1 sponge |
| Guardian | Aquatic | 4 dark prismarine, 4 sponges, 1 Thorns III enchanted book |
The overworld tier covers the five hostile mobs found near any base: spider, cave spider, skeleton, zombie and creeper.
All five use plain golderite, crafted from six gold ingots and three diamonds. This is the cheapest tier and the entry point to the chain: everything above it builds on golderite rather than replacing it. To craft: 1 row gold, 1 row diamond, 1 row gold (top to bottom order).
The nether tier covers the mobs: Blaze, Wither Skeleton and Zombified Piglin
Blaze and wither skeleton use nether golderite, made by ringing a netherite scrap with golderite (4 golderite and 1 scrap). Zombified piglin is deliberately cheaper: a piglin spawner uses corrupted golderite instead, ringed with nether gold ore (4 ores and 1 golderite).
The aquatic tier is the first where placement matters. All four mobs are registered to spawn in water in vanilla, and encaged does not override that, so these spawners need a water pool around them.
Drowned, squid and glow squid use aquarite, ringed with dark prismarine. Guardian uses empowered aquarite, made with a heart of the sea and yielding four at once, so a single heart of the sea gives exactly one spawner.
