So my fiance and I came up with this idea to create a monster trap with the monster spawners using the hack item list. Well after creating this intriguing trap, we placed the spawners in the correct location and ... Voila .. Nothing.
We then decided it must be because it's too light and not dark, so I got some Obsidian and completely encircled the trap with it. After doing that, we realized the "monster spawner" spawns pigs... and lots of them. We couldn't bring down the obsidian... takes too long, so instead we got some lightstone, and placed them inside the obsidian ( I left some room), and VOILA!
PIGS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!

Now you know.

In Multiplayer Servers, the monster traps don't work. :sad.gif: They just create pigs.

Yes, they wouldn't let me out of the monster trap :-x

monster spawner placed will only spawn pigs. Known Issue.

if your using hmod you can change what it spawns by targeting it and using /mspawn <mob>

This is how it's always worked in single player as well?

It isn't a bug?

If you want to utilize the monster spawner, you have to build your trap around it. If you want a pig spawner, harvest a monster spawner.

@ djive Pardon the humor, for I thought the issue, rather repetitive or known was rather hilarious.

@ mid90smatt and vicflo I had no clue you could cheat in single player, but thanks for the tips!

oh i assumed it was multiplayer you were talking about when you said "my fiance and i".

OMG BACON CRISIS IS OVER
