Spawns a snake near the player with a configurable chance when they chop trees, mine ore or stone nodes, or pick up ground collectibles like mushrooms, hemp, wood, and surface ores.
Each gather type has its own independent spawn chance. A per-player cooldown prevents snakes from stacking during rapid farming, and spawn positions are randomized around the resource within a configurable distance range.
Useful for servers that want to add a bit of ambient danger to routine gathering without introducing heavier threats like scientists or bears.
