Spawners

This MOD for Minetest let the player craft mob Spawner blocks.

Easy to implement new mob mods, but you must make sure that those mods following the right naming convention and have sounds, textures, models with the right name.

Currently it works with Pyramids Mummy, Mobs Redo and Creatures.

Initial Release
detects only 6 nodes for 'air' around the spawner [top, bottom, left, right, front, back] afterwards it will check the node above and below the found 'air' node - so there is enough space to spawn someone
always picks random side from where the mob will spawn
detects for light and time of day - spawn mobs only at night if 'only_night' set to true
status 'waiting' - blue sparkles, for not enough light (day spawners) or too much light for night spawners
status 'default/inactive' i.e. if the spawner is closed from each side or there is no space to spawn mob
status 'active' when spawner is active and is spawning mobs
status 'overheat' when there is too much 'max_objects_per_block' (prevents from server errors), max value is taken from minetest.conf
easy to configure, add and remove MODs for mobs
only Mobs Redo from tenplus1 is added for now
added recipes for all spawners, it's expensive so it will not get overcrowded on the server only with spawners
almost everything is done dynamically
spawners emit small amount of light
active and overheated spawner can cause fire to flammable nodes around it
spawners are active only if player is in radius (21)
spawners are diggable only with steel pickaxe and above, so no noob griefers can raid your base too easy
mobs play sound when spawned
animated textures
