Block Destroy Entity Drop
by Luc1fer1o
Block Destroy Entity Drop changes where item entities appear when a block is broken, so drops start at the block center and fall instead of scattering.
What it does
Vanilla Minecraft spawns broken block drops with a random offset and random motion, and those items can bounce sideways or drift toward hazards such as lava.
After the item is spawned, Minecraft handles it as usual, including the normal pickup delay and gravity. The mod only touches drops from broken blocks, leaving other items on the ground, including those a player has tossed, with their vanilla behavior. Because the change happens on the server, every player in a multiplayer game sees the same behavior.
The mod is published for NeoForge only, with a single build, 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, released on 2026-06-28. It is not open source; it is licensed as All rights reserved.
Key features
Centered drop spawning
Items from a broken block appear at the block's center instead of at a random offset.
No random launch velocity
Drops start without the random sideways push that vanilla applies, so they do not scatter.
Normal pickup and gravity
Spawned items keep the standard pickup delay and gravity, so they behave like any other item once placed.
Scoped to block drops
Only items created by breaking blocks are changed; other dropped items, such as those thrown by players, are left alone.
