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 ```
