For Developers
If you're a developer and want a quick overview of how the plugin works:
The plugin stores a type of data (byte) inside a pickaxe (ItemStack) using Bukkit's PersistentDataContainer.
When a player breaks a spawner, the plugin checks if the pickaxe contains that specific data.
If it does, the plugin handles the action accordingly. Simple and straightforward.
