How to Use a Monster Spawner

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to use a monster spawner (sometimes called *mob spawner*) with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, you will find monster spawners in dungeons where they spawn hostile mobs such as spiders or creepers. When you move closer to a spawner, you will see flames burning and a miniature version of the mob will appear inside and spin faster and faster. If the light conditions are right, eventually, the mob will spawn outside of the monster spawner.

A monster spawner is an item that you can use and place anywhere in the game yourself. Let's explore how to do this.

## Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the materials to use a monster spawner:

## Steps to Use a Monster Spawner

### 1. Place the Monster Spawner

If you want to place a monster spawner, you will need to find it in the Creative Inventory menu in Minecraft PE or Windows 10. In Minecraft Java Edition (PC/Mac), you can give yourself one with a game command.

Once you have added a monster spawner to your hotbar, make sure that it is the selected item.

Next, position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to place your monster spawner. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window.

The game control to place the monster spawner depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.

* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
* For Education Edition, right click on the block.

### 2. Watch the Spawner Activate

You should see your monster spawner appear on the block that you selected. When you move closer to a spawner, you will see flames burning and a miniature version of the mob will appear inside and spin faster and faster. In this example, there is a tiny pig inside the spawner.

If the conditions are right (ie: light levels, etc), eventually the pig will spawn outside of the monster spawner. You can change the type of mob that spawns from the monster spawner using a spawn egg.

Congratulations, you just learned how to use a monster spawner in Minecraft.

### Lever

First, you need a lever that will be used to activate the redstone device:

### Dispensers, Redstone Dust and Redstone Repeaters

Next, you need dispensers, redstone dust and redstone repeaters to build the redstone device:

### Firework Rockets

Finally, you need firework rockets to launch during the show (*these are only a few of the firework rockets available in the game*):

## Build the Redstone Device

In our fireworks show, we have used redstone repeaters to boost the redstone signal and to add delay so that the firework rockets launch at different times.

Our redstone device will continue to launch firework rockets until the dispensers are empty. For a longer show, add more firework rockets to each dispenser. Also, you can vary the type of firework rocket within the dispensers to make a more interesting show.

We have chosen to use firework rockets with different flight durations so that they explode at different heights in the sky. This show uses flight durations of 1, 2 and 3. We also have chosen various color combinations for our firework rockets to make the show more spectacular.

## Start the Fireworks Show

To start the fireworks show, just toggle the lever and enjoy the show! The fireworks can be seen best at night.

**TIP:** You can customize your show by changing the delays, the design and the firework rockets that you want to use.

You can craft a door out of any kind of wood. These are the types of doors that you can craft:

## Steps to make a Shelter

### 1. Dig into a Mountain

Since you won't have a lot of resources when you first get started, the easiest way to build a shelter is to dig into the side of a mountain to make your shelter.

So first, find a mountain or rock face that looks like a good place to build a shelter.

### 2. Build the Entrance

Dig out a hole in the side of the rock face that is 2 blocks high. This will be the entrance to your shelter and the spot where you will put your door.

Now begin tunnelling into the mountain.

### 3. Build the Room

You will want to dig out enough blocks to make a fairly large room. It needs to be big enough to place your valuables, and still have room to move around.

Next, place torches on all of your walls to light up your shelter. This light will prevent hostile mobs from spawning inside your shelter and attacking you.

### 5. Add a Wooden Door

Finally, add a wooden door to the entrance of your shelter.

Now your shelter is done. You can start placing your personal items inside the shelter such as your crafting table, bed, chest, and any other valuable items that you want to keep safe.

This is a very simple shelter. As you progress in the game, your shelters will become more complex and elaborate.

Franka

**Franka** is a contestant on *Survivor: P'o-shan* and *Survivor: Catastrophe*.

## YeetORG

* P'o-shan
* Catastrophe

Franka was selected to join the dysfunctional Tung-Shêng tribe, where she would quickly find herself in a good position, forming a trio with her two biggest allies in Heidi and Kowal, and even joining an all-women alliance, started by Sora and Weedy. When Tung-Shêng lost the first Immunity Challenge, the women's alliance was leaked, causing Franka to defect and join the rest of the tribe's plan to split the vote on Sora and Weedy. When Capone revealed that he found the Hidden Immunity Idol to Kowal, he relayed this information back to Franka and the two to set their sights on blindsiding Capone for fear of the idol, roping in Heidi and the two outside women to split the votes to cause a questionable 3-2-2-2 vote on Capone, who was blindsided after not playing his idol.

Things continued to take a turn for the worse for Franka and the Tung-Shêng tribe, as they continued to lose more challenges. At their second Tribal Council, Franka pushed heavily on voting out Leonhardt, someone she deemed as shady and untrustworthy.

#### Voting History

On Day Zero, **Franka** was grouped together with her former *P'o-shan* cast-mates in Exusiai, Heidi, Kowal, and Wei. Franka tried to mend bridges between Heidi and herself, as they had not talked to each other since their season after Franka blindsided her. On Day 1, the theme of the season was revealed to be Heroes vs. Villains and Franka was placed on the Heroes tribe with Heidi, surprising Heidi and even herself, admitting that even she felt like she played more like a villain.

How to Open/Close a Dragon Head

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to open and close a dragon head with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

In Minecraft, you make a dragon head look as if the mouth is repeatedly opening and closing. Let's explore how to do this.

## Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the required materials to open and close a dragon head:

**TIP:** You only need one redstone device to open and close a dragon head. You do NOT need them all!

## Steps to Open and Close the Mouth of a Dragon Head

### 1. Place the Dragon Head

First, you need to place the dragon head on the ground. Position your pointer (the plus sign) on the block where you want to place the dragon head. You should see the block become highlighted in your game window.

The game control to place the dragon head depends on the version of Minecraft:

* For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the block.
* For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the block.
* For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
* For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.
* For Wii U, press the ZL button on the gamepad.
* For Nintendo Switch, press the ZL button on the controller.
* For Windows 10 Edition, right click on the block.
* For Education Edition, right click on the block.

You should now see the dragon head on the ground.

### 2. Add a Redstone Device

Next, you need to add a redstone device next to the dragon head. You can use any redstone device such as a lever, pressure plate, or button to activate the dragon head:

#### Button

The redstone device should be placed within one block of the base of the dragon head (*not the snout part of the head*). If the redstone device is too far away from the base of the dragon head, it will not activate the dragon head.

In this example, we are going to place a lever next to the dragon head.

### 3. Activate the Dragon Head

To make the mouth of the dragon head open and close, just activate the redstone device that is attached to the dragon head.

In this example, the redstone device is a lever. So you would activate the dragon head by toggling the lever.

**To activate the dragon head:**

* If the redstone device is a lever, you need to toggle the lever.
* If the redstone device is a button, you need to push the button.
* If the redstone device is a pressure plate, you need to stand on the pressure plate.

You should now see the mouth of the dragon head alternate between open and closed until the redstone signal ends.

#### Mouth Opens

Congratulations, you just learned how to open and close the mouth of a dragon head in Minecraft.

How to Turn a Pig into a Pigman

This Minecraft tutorial explains how to turn a pig into a zombified piglin with screenshots and step-by-step instructions.

When a pig is struck by lightning in Minecraft, the pig is transformed into a zombified piglin.

#### Zombified Piglin

With a few simple steps, you can change any pig into a zombified piglin yourself. Let's explore how to do this in the game.

## Required Materials

In Minecraft, these are the required materials to turn a pig into a zombified piglin:

## Steps to turn a Pig into a Zombified Piglin

### 1. Find a Pig

First, you need to find a pig and build a fence around it so that the pig can't run away. In this example, we've placed the pig inside of a nether brick fence so that the fence doesn't burn when the lightning strikes. Other fence types (ie: wooden fences) are flamable and may burn away from fire caused by the lightning.

Here are some of the materials you can use to build a fence:

### 2. Strike the Pig with Lightning

Next, you need to strike the pig with lightning. If you are running Minecraft PC, you can easily create a lightning bolt with a game command.

So stand next to the pig. Then summon a lightning bolt by typing the following game command:

```
/summon LightningBolt

```

**TIP:** When you summon the lightning bolt, it will strike close to you and cause you damage in Survival mode. If you don't want to get hurt, switch to Creative mode and then summon the lightning bolt.

To enter a command in Minecraft, open the chat window and then type the command. As you are typing, you will see the command appear in the lower left corner of the game window.

### 3. Pig will Transform into Zombified Piglin

Once the cheat has been entered, you will hear the sound of thunder and see a flash of light. The lightning bolt will strike near the pig and turn the pig into a zombified piglin.

You will see the message "Object successfully summoned" appear in the lower left corner of the game window to indicate that the lightning bolt has been summoned.

**WARNING:** When the lightning bolt strikes, it may start a fire. Keep your valuables safe so that they don't catch on fire!

Congratulations, you just learned how to use lightning to turn a pig into a zombified piglin in Minecraft.
