Top 5 ways to find spawners in Minecraft survival

Mobs are living creatures in Minecraft that spawn in various ways. Players can interact with mobs to breed them or kill them to get resources, as most mobs in Minecraft drop items upon death.

Many animals generate when a chunk is loaded and most hostile mobs spawn either through spawners or when the light level of a place in the game is seven or less. Spawners are blocks that look like a cage with a miniature mob spinning inside them.

They are naturally generated in certain places around the world and cannot be collected by breaking. The mob spinning inside the spawner indicates which mob can spawn through the spawner. Spawners can be found in different structures present in every Minecraft world.
