How Drop Chance Works
- The base chance is taken from
drop-chances(by mob type, ordefaultif not listed) - If Fortune is enabled,
per-level × fortune_levelis added - The result is capped at 100%
- 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
