Beef & Blade

by June

Beef & Blade changes how cows drop leather and beef, based on the weapon a player uses to kill them.

What it does

Cow drops depend on the weapon, tool or method that ends the cow's life. Rebalanced drops let a player choose which resources a cow provides by picking a different weapon. Killing a cow with any other method still yields the default drops, and direct sword or axe attacks are not the only way to get them. Drop values are set in the mod's config file, and a datapack version from 1.1.0 onward covers the same change without a loader mod.

The mod is available for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with the latest files for 1.21 and 1.20.1. The server must run it, while players may leave it out. The code is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Weapon-dependent drops

    Leather and beef amounts change according to the weapon used to kill a cow.

  2. Configurable drop values

    Drop amounts are customized in the mod's config file, so server owners can tune the rebalance.

  3. Datapack version

    A datapack build from 1.1.0 applies the same drop rebalance without installing a loader mod.
