About SilkSpawners (Versions 1.8.8 - 1.26.2)

From SpigotMC

This plugin makes spawners minable using SilkTouch tools

SilkSpawners​
If you use a pickaxe with the silk touch enchantment while breaking a spawner, you will receive the spawner you broke. When placing the spawner again, the spawner will spawn the mob it spawned when breaking it.
Compatible with Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Bukkit and Folia servers.
