Complete Mob Loot Customization for Hytale

Customize Every Drop. Control Every Reward. Build Your Own Economy!

Take complete control of your Hytale server's mob loot with DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops, a powerful server-side plugin featuring an intuitive, inventory-style Admin UI.

Add new items to mob loot tables, modify existing drops, remove unwanted rewards, and customize drop quantities and percentages—all without manually editing configuration files.

Whether you're running a survival server, RPG, MMO, dungeon crawler, or player-driven economy, DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops gives you the tools to create a fully customized loot experience.

Built for Hytale 0.7.2.

What is DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops?

By default, Hytale NPCs have predefined loot systems that determine what rewards players receive when defeating them.

DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops expands your control over these systems by introducing a visual loot editor accessible directly from within the game.

Instead of manually creating complicated JSON configurations, administrators can select a mob, browse an automatically populated inventory of available items, and manage individual drop rules with just a few clicks.

Want Goblins to drop copper coins? Want Skeletons to have a rare chance of dropping powerful weapons? Want bosses to reward players with valuable crafting materials?

DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops makes customizing loot simple!

Complete Mob Loot Customization

Customize each mob individually.

Add Loot

Create new custom drops without overwriting existing custom entries.

Update Loot

Modify a selected existing drop's quantity and percentage chance.

Remove Custom Loot

Remove configured rewards that are no longer needed.

Block Vanilla Loot

Prevent selected vanilla items from dropping.

Restore Vanilla Loot

Restore previously blocked vanilla rewards.

Replace Vanilla Loot

Disable a mob's standard loot list and use your own configured rewards.

You decide exactly how your server's mob loot should behave.

Custom Drop Chances

Configure individual item drop probabilities from 0% to 100%, including decimal percentages.

Drop Rarity	Example Chance
Guaranteed	100%
Common	75%
Uncommon	35%
Rare	10%
Very Rare	2.5%
Legendary	0.1%

Each configured custom item has its own independent drop chance.

Create simple survival rewards or complex, rare-item farming systems.

These percentages are examples and can be customized.

Custom Drop Quantities

Control how many items drop when a successful loot roll occurs.

Set a minimum item quantity.
Set a maximum item quantity.
Allow randomized amounts between those limits.
Configure different quantities for individual items.

Example:

A Goblin can be configured to drop:

5–15 Copper Coins at 100% chance.
1–3 Iron Ore at 35% chance.
1 Rare Sword at 2% chance.

Every item can have its own independent quantity and probability.

Vanilla Loot Table Detection

Improved in v1.1.6!

DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops can inspect NPC loot information and display available original drops alongside custom entries.

The system uses several methods to identify original loot configurations:

Runtime NPC drop-list information.
Standard NPC role definitions.
Inherited NPC variant configurations.
A built-in fallback index containing 464 vanilla NPC drop-list references.

This improves loot discovery for NPCs whose original drop tables could not previously be resolved.

The editor distinguishes between custom loot, possible vanilla drops, and unresolved original loot.

Note: Some NPCs use conditional rewards, runtime-generated drops, or other systems instead of conventional loot tables. Not every NPC's complete original loot information can be guaranteed to appear. Vanilla entries may also have weighted chances that cannot be represented by a single percentage.

Copy and Paste Loot Tables

Save time when configuring multiple mobs!

Copy a mob's configured loot table.
Select another mob.
Paste the copied configuration.
Quickly reuse existing settings.

Perfect for groups of enemies that should share similar rewards.

Quick Loot Presets

Speed up loot creation using built-in quantity and probability presets.

Available presets:

Common
Uncommon
Rare
Boss Reward

Select a preset to populate the editor's quantity and chance settings, then adjust them as needed before saving.

Loot Drop Simulation

Balance your economy before making large changes.

The built-in Sim 100 Kills feature simulates 100 kills using the selected mob's configured custom drop rules.

Preview approximate reward quantities and identify potentially excessive or insufficient drop rates.

This simulation does not spawn actual mobs or items and does not guarantee results from Hytale's original vanilla loot system.

Persistent Loot Configuration

Your configured loot rules are stored in a JSON file.

Changes are saved when applied through the Admin UI.
Existing custom loot settings persist across server restarts.
New qualifying NPC deaths use updated custom rules without requiring a server restart.
Previous configurations are preserved when upgrading between compatible versions.

Designed for Performance

DarkMatterEcon Mob Drops includes several measures to help keep the editor responsive on servers with large asset catalogs.

Cached NPC and item catalogs.
Paginated mob and item browsers.
Manual registry refresh controls.
Direct lookup of saved mob-specific loot rules.
Limits on custom dropped-item stack generation.
Immutable configuration snapshots for runtime loot processing.

These features are intended to reduce unnecessary processing and help manage larger server environments.

What's New in v1.1.6?

Version 1.1.6 focuses on improving original NPC loot discovery and preserving the streamlined Admin UI introduced in previous updates.

Latest improvements:

Expanded original NPC loot-table resolution.
Added a fallback index for 464 vanilla NPC drop-list references.
Improved handling of inherited NPC loot definitions.
Improved identification of unresolved vanilla drop lists.
Preserved native item icons and visual inventory editing.
Retained separate Add Loot and Update Loot operations.
Maintained compatibility with existing saved custom-drop configurations.

This update builds on the previous usability and loot-management improvements to make customizing Hytale NPC rewards easier.
