Created Issue:
Pick Block don't work with mob spawners
When using Pick Block (Middle Click on blocks or entitys when in Creative Mode by default) on mob spawners, you don't get the mob spawner in the inventory. It seems to "just don't work" with this block.
It also don't work when using Ctrl+Middle Click (by default) to pick the block and keep it's NBT data.
It doesn't work with the default Pig Spawner and any other custom made mob spawners.
Tried with:
-Pig Spawner.
-Zombie Spawner.
-Skeleton Spawner.
-Wither Skeleton Spawner.
-Creeper Spawner.
-Spider Spawner.
-Cave Spider Spawner.
-Silverfish Spawner.
-Blaze Spawner.
-Ghast Spawner.
-Witch Spawner.
-3 different custom mob spawners: armored skeleton, armored zombie and a skeleton riding a bat.

I understand your point. What I'm saying is that the only time the "Works as Intended" resolution should be used is if Mojang actually wants it to be in the game. This lag, while not a huge problem, and basically unfixable, is not something that Mojang thought would be good to have. It's just a problem that isn't going to be fixed because it doesn't bother anyone anymore. That's what the "Won't Fix" resolution is for. Something that everyone agrees is a bug, but Mojang, for whatever reason, isn't going to fix it.
As it is, many bugs that Mojang has decided not to fix are labeled WAI, such as MC-1823, MC-2313, MC-10708, MC-30663, MC-50605, MC-63055, MC-63446, MC-64634, MC-77170, and MC-78797. In all of these reports, the issue is clearly not something that Mojang intended to occur. They have simply decided not to fix it, sometimes for performance reasons, sometimes because it would just take too much effort. The "Won't Fix" resolution is woefully underused, which leads to very inconsistent resolutions. WAI should only be used when it was actually intended, such as MC-11220, MC-35860, MC-48184, MC-63380, MC-78691, and MC-79609.

you aren't supposed to be able to do that, mojang actually had it enabled with the normal pick block in the first snapshot it introdused, but later removed the ability to do that.
works as intended
Do you know why Mojang removed this ability? I can't see any resone why.
people were able to achieve the 52 by doing it and Mojang don't want us to.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 14w18b / Launcher version 1.3.11 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Confirmed for 14w18b, but I'm pretty sure this is Working As Intended. As I'm not a mod I can't make that decision but it seems pretty obvious Mojang doesn't intend mob spawners to be pickblock-able. Btw custom spawners can be made by using the setblock command in a command block. Here's a simple one:
/setblock ~2 ~1 ~0 mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:Zombie}Here's a not so simple one:
/setblock ~-1 ~-1 ~0 mob_spawner 0 replace {EntityId:Zombie,SpawnData:{Equipment:[{id:276},{},{},{},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{ench:[{id:1,lvl:4}],SkullOwner:RageLokiCat}}]},SpawnPotentials:[{Type:Zombie,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:278,tag:{ench:[{id:20,lvl:2},{id:21,lvl:10}]}},{},{},{},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{SkullOwner:MHF_Herobrine},Count:1}]}},{Type:LavaSlime,Weight:1,Count:4},{Type:Blaze,Weight:1,Count:2},{Type:CaveSpider,Weight:1,Count:8},{Type:Skeleton,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:261,tag:{ench:[{id:50,lvl:1}]}},{},{},{},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{ench:[{id:0,lvl:2}],SkullOwner:MHF_Spider}}],Riding:{id:"EntityHorse",Type:4,Tame:1,SaddleItem:{id:329,Count:1,Damage:0}}},Count:2},{Type:Zombie,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:283,tag:{ench:[{id:20,lvl:2},{id:21,lvl:10}]}},{id:301},{id:300},{id:299},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{ench:[{id:1,lvl:4}],SkullOwner:MHF_LavaSlime}}]},Count:2},{Type:Skeleton,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:261}],Riding:{id:"Blaze"}},Count:2},{Type:Skeleton,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:261},{id:317},{id:316},{id:315},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{ench:[{id:1,lvl:4}],SkullOwner:MHF_Villager}}],Riding:{id:"Slime",Size:4}},Count:1},{Type:Zombie,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:283,tag:{ench:[{id:21,lvl:10},{id:34,lvl:3}]}},{id:301},{id:308},{id:299},{id:397,Damage:3,tag:{ench:[{id:1,lvl:4}],SkullOwner:MHF_Pig}}]},Count:5},{Type:PigZombie,Weight:1,Properties:{Equipment:[{id:283,tag:{ench:[{id:21,lvl:10},{id:34,lvl:3}]}}],Anger:1},Count:4},]}Note that a recent snapshot changed custom head codes. They'll all be steve heads if broken (or if there's no internet connection). Also I hear the anger tag for zombie pigmen was broken in another recent snapshot (last AI change).

MC-48668Confirmed in 1.8. ctrl+pick-block should work on mob spawners, otherwise there would be little reason to keep them in their item form, especially since they don't appear in the creative mode item selection menu.
Well, thanks for giving us the official "Works as Intended" for this finally, even though I'm highly disappointed in that decision

Yeah, but think about full mushroom blocks.
But this is different since you can have the same mob spawner with a BlockEntityTag in your inventory whereas the full mushroom block does not exist in item form.
I'm referring to minecraft:red_mushroom_block and minecraft:brown_mushroom_block.
Grum could you please explain why this is WAI? Other "problematic" blocks clean the exploiting NBT tags as well, for example command blocks with their Command tag.
Or is it that you are afraid non-op players would complain that they cannot pick-block a non-exploiting spawner?
I'd also like to know why this is WaI, unless it's about a possible severe exploit - maybe that shouldn't be public
Confirmed for 1.12. How is this WAI?
