Custom Enchantment to Mine Spawners

So I come again today to bring another suggestion that I believe will help the economy. With the spread of spawner mining to all ranks there is an increased use of spawners to add items into the economy and this can cause trouble. Therefor, the perk should be changed on what it costs and how it is used. The perk should be enchantment that is applied to picks that allows for mining of a spawner. This should be given out through a crafting recipe for a book with custom lore/enchantments on it. The crafting recipe would be a spawner of any kind, a blank book, and a bottle of xp. Hopefully this will help remove some spawners cycling around in the economy and at the same time allow for a simple and orderly method to get spawners and add in another custom feature to meepcraft.

 

Soooo... A silk touch book?

the last thread you made, about /feed, did not have any effect on the economy considering food is spawnable and free.

 

How would you be able to use this item if you don't have a spawner to craft it in the first place?

 

So you are touching on the point of why this needs to be done which is that most items in the game are spawnable and rather free. I mentioned in my last post how there needs to be some drain on the surplus of items and spawners that have built up over the life of meepcraft. This would provide some alternative drain on the number of spawners which inturn will provide a drain on the number items created from them.

Also I feel it important to mention that changes in the economy take time and criticizing a one day old change on its impact to the economy is silly.

In addition to a crafting reward you could have it as a vote reward or purchase-able in the shop. But once one person has the enchantment it will allow for more spawners to be mined and more enchantments to be created.

 

I am confused how adding a new custom enchant will reduce the amount of spawners we have (unless the goal is to trick players into mining spawners without this "custom enchant" and break the spawner) which is not ideal. Spawners will most likely never rise in value again and will always remain around 2-4k. Adding a new enchant will not remove surplus on a non consumable item.

Food will never have value unless all animal spawners were removed due to the current free food pwarps there currently are. Sorry to get off topic but removing food was not an economic change but more or less a gameplay change (negative one).

 

I vote to remove spanners completely.

 

The recipe for the enchantment requires a spawner so players will have you use up a spawner, it doesn't reduce the amount of spawners directly it reduces the amount of used spawners and the ability to mine spawners.

 

Sounds good thanks for clearing things up.

 

No.

 

Yes

 

Absolutely no

 

Absolutely yes

 

I think something more interesting would be a custom enchantment that, when used on a spawner, removes the spawner completely and gives you another item such as an exp bottle, enchanted book, or a possible drop of a randomly enchanted tool.

So, you would craft a spawner into a Pickaxe to mine more spawners? Sounds good in theory . . . 1 problem: how are they supposed to gets the first spawner without the pick? Sure, they could buy one, but isn't it annoying to buy something only to get a stupid Pickaxe? Plus, if this works, and spawners somehow rise in value, this will cost players even more.

 

Totally No

I'm for that lol.

 

Another good way to get rid of spawners is you can turn them into a currency for certain items.
Villager trader:
Trade in 100-1000 spawners for custom enchanted gear. You could call it spawner armor or something with fancy red lettering
