Minecart with Monster Spawner

The minecart with monster spawner is a combination of a minecart and a monster spawner.

Obtaining

Minecarts with monster spawner cannot be obtained as an item in the inventory, and can only be produced using the command or by using external tools.

Usage

The monster spawner within the minecart behaves the same way as normal monster spawners, but the entity to be spawned cannot be set via using spawn eggs; the monster spawner's data can only be modified using commands or NBT edits. It has the same associated NBT tags as a normal monster spawner. More precisely, a minecart with monster spawner acts as a monster spawner block at the minecart's position. In other words, if the minecart with monster spawner moved within a block position, the range of spawn would not change, but if it moved 5 blocks east, the range of spawn would now be centered at the minecart with monster spawner's new position. Minecarts with monster spawner were used in some custom maps as a way to have redstone controlled monster spawners, however after the addition of the and commands they were mostly rendered obsolete and are very rarely used today.
