+Minetest mod: orespawner_to_junk
+==========================================
+A full fork is planned with a minetest configuration option to disable spawners to prevent this issue in the first place
+(however, this mod is helpful when the ore generators already exist in the world).
+Ore generation (from spawners mod) is not good for multiplayer balance so there should be an option to turn it off.
+You must also remove the lines from spawners/spawners_ores.lua
+(see spawners-microfork for version with this done already)
