Enhance Spawners
Make spawners more useful by having the functionality of crafting them and changing their type through the use of mob eggs! To get a blank egg, just break an existing mob spawner.
When a natural (non-player-placed) spawner is broken, the following will occur if the player has the appropriate permissions:
- 3 to 6 iron bars and/or a spawner will drop (configurable)
- Between 300 to 600 exp will drop (equivalent to 3-6 levels if at a low level); This is fully configurable
- A spawn egg will drop (either a blank one or one of the spawner's type; this is configurable)
The inspiration came from pixelkids

Commands
The commands for SpawnerEXP are only run from the console.
- spawnerexp purge
- Removes all player spawners from the database. This will cause them to behave like natural spawners
- spawnerexp dump
- Lists all spawners (e.g. "(X: 223, Y: 64, Z: -141) of type Spider")
- spawnerexp reload
- Reloads the configuration.
Add the ability to disable or enable the use of permissions
Add a configuration option to disable experience from monsters from spawners (and/or a permission node)
