Block Drops are Random
by Bebu
Block Drops are Random changes what each broken block gives, so a new world has its own fixed block-to-item mapping.
What it does
Breaking a block yields a completely random item in place of its normal drop. Each block keeps the item it was assigned in a given world for the rest of that playthrough, which lets a player work out the world's loot table over time. Each new world builds its own mapping, so dirt may give diamonds in one world and stone may give boats, buckets or enchanted gear in another.
The mod runs on the server only, which means players join without installing anything. It works in survival and multiplayer, and is aimed at challenge runs, speedruns and chaotic survival games where the usual drops cannot be predicted. Installation requires Fabric, with no other dependency. Files are published for Fabric only, for game versions 26.2 and 26.3, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Random block drops
Each broken block gives a randomly chosen item instead of its normal drop, so the result of mining is unpredictable.
Per-world mappings
Every new world generates its own block-to-item assignments, so no two worlds share the same drops.
Consistent drops in a world
Once a block is tied to an item, it keeps giving that item, letting players adapt to the world's loot.
Survival and multiplayer
The randomized drops work in survival worlds and on multiplayer servers alike.

Use cases
Challenge runs
Players set the drops as an obstacle, since they cannot rely on a block giving the expected item.

Runners can use the fixed mapping of a world, learning which blocks give useful items for their route.
Chaotic survival
Groups playing together on a server get a shared unpredictable economy in which every mined block may surprise them.
Who it’s for: Players who want an unpredictable survival challenge, speedrunners who learn a world's mapping, and server owners running shared survival worlds.
