So, trying my best to run a Vanilla server, but at every point, Mojang has seemed to make things very difficult and finds ways to make something a 10 step process, instead of 1 step, as it should be.

For example, I am trying to setup a NPC to sell custom mob spawners (spawn horses, sheep, villagers, etc.). Partial code is below...

tag:{
BlockEntityTag:{
SpawnCount:4,
MaxNearbyEntities:6,
SpawnRange:8,
Delay:60,
MinSpawnDelay:180,
MaxSpawnDelay:1800,
RequiredPlayerRange:16,
EntityId:Cow,
SpawnData:

}

The Custom Villager sells these just fine, and they work just fine... as long as you are a Server Operator... SERVER OP OR NOTHING! When a regular player places a spawner, it ignores all tag data and places as a Pig Spawner every time! I mean, why Mojang... WHY!? Why do you say we can have all this cool stuff to play with, but then, LIMIT EVERYTHING!

If I set up a NPC to sell a Mob Spawner to players using custom settings, ALLOW THE PLAYERS TO USE THEM! Seriously, I'm losing so much faith in Mojang, when all these features seem to just, not work. Seems to use half of any custom code in this game, you MUST be a Server OP... it's just... it just doesn't make ANY sense! I mean, sure, making the code and putting it in, you need OP, but using something created by an OP, you ALSO need OP to use???? NO SENSE!

Is this a bug Mojang? Because the code works. Why you wouldn't allow players to put one of these down with the Tags in place is beyond me, especially since players cannot normally obtain these!!

Please fix, because this is an issue... and a long standing one from my understanding, and it is a completely broken feature.
