Request - Add other entities to spawner

Post by Arch666Angel »

Idea was to have a "nest" spawn eggs around itself. Eggs as simple entities you can farm from time to time. Sadly one can only add "unit" entities to the result_units list of a spawner. Would it be possible to also add simple and/or other entities to be allowed on that list?

I've been there before, and I agree with Angel, allowing to spawn additional entity types would be useful.

I tried to add worms, and nests themselves to the list of possible spawn items, as a way to make bases expand themselves, and... well... obviously it didn't work because you can only specify the unit type.

Here is also no on_spawn_unit and you can't replace spawned unit with custom entity.

Ok, I changed it for 0.17 so it can use any entity not just units.

/me takes note of new possibility of "von Neumann spawners".
/me is happy.
