Do you ever feel limited by the items you get from mobs? Or did your favorite modpack feel like mods were not connected enough?

Obstickless' MobDrop

is a powerful and flexible server-side mod that lets you completely customize what mobs drop/harvest for any entity, set interactions with tools, create entity and item groups, loottables or set consumeable items on use — without datapacks, without loot table editing (and without touching JSON files, if you don’t want to). Perfect to create and tweak your favorite modpack.

✔ Works with modded mobs and items
✔ Lightweight & server-friendly
✔ Fully configurable in-game
✔ No datapacks required

Take control of mob interactions your way.

Quick overview

The mod uses ingame commands to set mobdrops on the fly.

All commands require permission level 2 (OP).

Main command:

/mobdrop

/mobdrop add ...
/mobdrop addconsume ...
/mobdrop addtable ...
/mobdrop export
/mobdrop groupentity ...
/mobdrop groupitem ...
/mobdrop grouptable ...
/mobdrop help
/mobdrop list ...
/mobdrop reload
/mobdrop remove

The basic commands are

/mobdrop add <entity> [s <species>] <item> <tool> [min] [max] [cooldown] [chance]

/mobdrop addconsume <entity> [s <species>] <item> <tool> [min] [max] [cooldown] [chance]

/mobdrop addtable <entity> [s <species>] <tablegroup>

Species

If using cobblemon, pokemon are stored under the same entity. Use cobblemon:pokemon as <entity>, then use s <species> for the desired pokemon. If you are not using cobblemon, then proceed without species :)

Example

/mobdrop add cobblemon:pokemon s pidgey

Examples

/mobdrop add minecraft:zombie minecraft:diamond

Zombies now drop diamonds when interacted, with default droprates.

/mobdrop add minecraft:cow minecraft:leather minecraft:shears

Cows drop leather only when right-clicked with shears.

/mobdrop add minecraft:cow minecraft:leather minecraft:shears 2 4 10 0.5

Cows drop 2 to 4 leather when right-clicked with shears once every 10 minutes, with a chance of 50% of succeeding.

If you want the tool to be consumed:

/mobdrop addconsume minecraft:cow minecraft:beef minecraft:apple

The apple gets consumed when interacted.

If you've set up a loot table group:

/mobdrop addtable minecraft:cow nameOfTable

Cows will use the droprules of the loot table you created.

Advanced Drop Configuration

In add, <tool> can be replaced by

auto: entities will drop automatically, like how chickens lay eggs.
healing: entities will drop when gaining health, for example villagers can drop emerals when they gain health
damage: entities will drop when receiving damage, for example skeletons can drop bones when damaged
death: entities will drop when dying
deathoverride: entities will drop when dying, this overrides the default drop from the game

Damage, death and deathoverride can have an additional <tool> (optional) for precise rules. For example slimes drop slimeballs when damaged by an iron shovel. When using deathoverride <tool>, it will only override the default drop with that specific item. Very useful for custom scenarios and modpacks.

In addconsume, <item> can be replaced by

health: when the entity consumes the <tool>, it gains health (min -max hearts)
cooldown: when the entity consumes the <tool>, it reduces cooldown (min - max minutes)

min: the minimum amount of items dropped
max: the maximum amount of items dropped
cooldown: the ingame time in minutes of how often this can happen, each entity tracks its own cooldown separately.
chance: a range between 0 (0%) and 1 (100%), deciding the chance of it happening

When are not stated, they will take default values. Dropping between 1 - 3 items, every 5 ingame minutes with a 100% chance.

Remove

/mobdrop remove <entity> [s <species>] <item> [tool]

To remove a rule.

Groups allow reusable collections of entities or items or loot tables. When adding a rule, can be replaced by an entity group, or can be replaced by an item group. Table groups are used in the addtable command.

Whenever you add or remove anything in a group, your rules are immediately updated as well.

Three types of groups are available

/mobdrop groupentity ...

and every group has

... create <name>

To create your group, you can decide the name.

... delete <name>

To delete your group.

... list <name>

To list what is inside of the group.

Groupentity

/mobdrop groupentity add <name> <entity> [s <species>]
/mobdrop groupentity remove<name> <entity> [s <species>]

To add or remove entities.

Groupitem

/mobdrop groupitem add <name> <item>
/mobdrop groupitem remove <name> <item>

To add or remove items.

Grouptable

/mobdrop grouptable add <name> <item> <tool> [min] [max] [cooldown] [chance]
/mobdrop grouptable addconsume <name> <item> <tool> [min] [max] [cooldown] [chance]
/mobdrop grouptable remove <name> <item> [tool]

This command lets you create a loottable, a group of items that have individual <tool> <min> <max> <cooldown> <chance> values. You can add add-rules and addconsume-rules, with advanced drop configurations.

Additional commands and explanation

JSON

All of your rules are saved under config/obsticklessmobdrop.json
If you are familiar with json-files, you can make any adjustments to rules in there, on the fly as well.
Because they save in a json file, all your worlds created will have these rules applied. This was intended for modpack development ;)

/mobdrop reload

To reload your rules after editing the json.

/mobdrop export

To export your rules in a separate json.

List

/mobdrop list <entity> [s <species>]

To list existing rules.
