Obsidian and Reinforced-Deepslate breaker pickaxes: tiers, charges, and crafting.
Mob spawners are valuable. In vanilla Minecraft, mining one destroys it. On mythblock, the Spawner Breaker is a craftable pickaxe that gives you a chance to capture a spawner with its mob type intact. Higher-tier breakers improve your odds.
In short
Craft a Spawner Breaker to capture mob spawners instead of destroying them. Higher tiers increase the capture chance, and a pity system guarantees a keep on the 12th consecutive miss.
How it works
Craft a Spawner Breaker at the Workbench.
Find a mob spawner in the wild (caves, dungeons, fortresses, etc.).
Break the spawner with the Spawner Breaker equipped. A gamble animation plays.
Win: the spawner drops as a placeable item with its mob type. Lose: the spawner is destroyed and you lose one use.
Place captured spawners on your island. They work like vanilla spawners.
Breaking with a normal tool
If you break a spawner with any tool other than a Spawner Breaker, a warning pops up with a 30-second confirmation window. Confirming destroys the spawner permanently.
Spawner Breaker tiers
Each tier increases the capture chance and the number of uses before the tool is consumed.

If you fail 11 consecutive spawner breaks without a keep, the 12th break is a guaranteed capture. The pity counter resets after every successful keep.
Rare jackpot
On a successful capture, there is an 8% chance the mob is upgraded to a rarer variant. The rare upgrade pool includes:
Vindicator
Pillager
Bogged
Breeze
Husk
Stray
Token rerolls
When a capture fails, you can spend 1 reroll token to try again on the same spawner without consuming an additional use. Reroll tokens are obtained from crates, the token shop, and seasonal rewards.

Tier I Spawner Breaker

Partly-used breakers accepted
You can upgrade a Tier I breaker even if it has fewer than 5 uses remaining. The upgrade consumes the old tool regardless of remaining charges.
Placing captured spawners
Place a captured spawner item on your island like any other block. It retains the mob type from the original spawner. Spawner behaviour follows vanilla Minecraft rules (light level, player proximity, mob cap).
The Enhanced Spawner Rates island flag (unlocked with the Void cosmetic rank) increases spawn rates on your island.
