Mobspawner Finder but how?

[KleinesGumi]

Hello,
i want to make an Item that if you rightclick it or like the Spawner Compass that says you "The Next Mobspawner Block is at XYZ" or the needle from the compass is next to him.

For method 1 i tryd to loop all blocks in range or if chunk get loading but that kills the
Server performance.

it would be nice if anyone can help me.

Uhhhm, I don't think you can do that without absolutely smashing your server's perfomance to bits xD

If you could loop all blocks of a specific block type, which I don't think you can, this would not have been a problem, but again I don't think you can do that, so you would have to loop all blocks withing a certain radius of the player, and check if any of those loop-blocks were to be mob spawners.
So that would kind of fulfill what you want, but then again kind of not.

I just had a feeling, nobody would anwser this, since your request is really diffucult to do effeciently, so I figured any anwser would be better than none.

But then again, I might be wrong, and me saying nobody was going to anwser this most likely makes someone anwser xD
