⭐ SpawnerTax – Balanced and Safe Spawner Mining System

SpawnerTax is a lightweight and performance-friendly plugin designed to make mob spawner mining more balanced, safer, and more intuitive on survival servers.

It introduces a simple but effective “safe vs. natural” spawner logic without changing vanilla gameplay flow.

How It Works

Safe Spawners

• When a player places a spawner, the plugin automatically stores its coordinates as safe.
• A safe spawner can be mined again using a Netherite Pickaxe with Silk Touch without breaking the pickaxe.
• The spawner will drop with the correct mob type preserved.

Natural Spawners

• Spawners naturally generated in the world are marked as unsafe.
• Mining an unsafe spawner requires a Netherite Pickaxe with Silk Touch.
• Mining an unsafe spawner destroys the pickaxe, adding balance to spawner farming.
  
  The dropped spawner still keeps the correct mob type.
