⭐ 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

✔ 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

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.
- 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.
