SpawnerTax

⭐ 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 correct mob type preserved, the plugin automatically stores its coordinates as safe. - A safe spawner correct mob type preserved using a Netherite Pickaxe with Silk Touch correct mob type preserved. - 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 destroys the pickaxe. - Mining an unsafe spawner destroys the pickaxe, adding balance to spawner farming.

The dropped spawner still keeps the correct mob type. ✨ Features ✔ Mine spawners only with Netherite Pickaxe + Silk Touch ✔ Player-placed spawners are always safe ✔ Natural spawners destroy the pickaxe when mined ✔ Always drops a spawner with proper mob type ✔ All placed spawners stored in spawners.yml ✔ Fully customizable messages via language.yml ✔ No dependencies ✔ Very small and very fast plugin ✔ Works perfectly with survival and semi-vanilla servers
