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
