Pig and Phyg spawner

Hey,

this is not a suggestion to add something but to change something.

At the moment we have the following situation:

* Use a pig spawner or phyg in normal world to spawn pigs or phygs

* in the aether you cant spawn pigs using a pig spawner. You need to place aether grass under a pig spawner and it will spawn phyg.

So why do we have a pig and phyg spawner if i cant spawn these two different mobs in each dimension??

What i suggest is that you are able to use the pig and phyg spawner the same way in each dimension.
(to spawn pigs use a pig spawner and grass block. to spawn phyg use a phyg and aether grass block)

This would create a possibility too add a new kind of spawner namely to "flying cow". (i do not know the real name for that mob but i mean the aether cow). For these spawner you would have the same properties as proposed for the pig and phyg so players are able to get the two different kind of mobs in each dimension.

The flying cow spawner could be a new boss drop?!

It does seem dumb to have a pig spawner in the aether and it spawn phygs. Isn't the purpose of having a pig spawner is to spawn only pigs? Why make it spawn Phygs if it is in the aether? I would like to see this changed so me and other players can make pig/phyg grinders without worrying about the world changing it.
I do see that yes it is the aether but it a pig spawner not a phyg spawner.

This was set like this before custom spawners were possible, only cow, pig, etc. So the rational behind spawning phyg's was that phyg's are the pigs of the Aether, they are somehow altered by magic of the dimension and given wings and the ability to fly.

Also changing this would break peoples grinders that are currently using pig spawners to spawn phyg's

If your just building a grinder and you want pigs you can build it any any other dimension, I don't think it will be a massive problem for anyone no being able to build it in the Aether.
