# \u2b50 SpawnerTax \u2013 Balanced and Safe Spawner Mining System
\n## SpawnerTax is a lightweight and performance-friendly plugin designed to make mob spawner mining more balanced, safer, and more intuitive on survival servers.
\nIt introduces a simple but effective \u201csafe vs. natural\u201d spawner logic without changing vanilla gameplay flow.
\n
\n# How It Works
\n## Safe Spawners
\n– When a player **places a spawner**, the plugin automatically stores its coordinates as safe.
\n– A safe spawner **can be mined again** using a Netherite Pickaxe with Silk Touch **without breaking the pickaxe**.
\n– The spawner will drop with the **correct mob type preserved**.<\/p>\n
## Natural Spawners
\n– Spawners naturally generated in the world are marked as unsafe.
\n– Mining an unsafe spawner **requires a Netherite Pickaxe with Silk Touch**.
\n– Mining an unsafe spawner **destroys the pickaxe**, adding balance to spawner farming.
\n
\nThe dropped spawner still keeps the correct mob type.
