qSpawners

Features

• Special Spawner Pickaxe — only this tool can break spawners; regular pickaxes cannot drop them
• Configurable Drop Chance — set a global default and per-mob-type percentages
• Fortune Bonus — each Fortune enchantment level adds an extra drop chance
• Silk Touch Support — optionally require Silk Touch on the pickaxe
• Mob Type Preservation — the dropped spawner remembers its mob type; placing it back restores the original mob
• Crafting Recipe — the special pickaxe is craftable with a fully configurable recipe
• Cooldown System — prevents players from spamming spawner breaks; configurable per-server
• Sounds & Particles — custom feedback on success and failure

## How Drop Chance Works

1. The base chance is taken from `drop-chances` (by mob type, or `default` if not listed)
2. If Fortune is enabled, `per-level × fortune_level` is added
3. The result is capped at 100%
4. A random roll decides whether the spawner drops or is destroyed

**Example** — Zombie spawner, Fortune III, `per-level: 5`:

25% (base) + 15% (Fortune III bonus) = 40% drop chance
