How Drop Chance Works

The base chance is taken from drop-chances (by mob type, or default if not listed)
If Fortune is enabled, per-level × fortune_level is 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
