Brutes Drop Scraps

by greenclaw

Brutes Drop Scraps changes the loot table of the Piglin Brute, so that these mobs can drop Netherite Scraps when they die.

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalGNU General Public License v3.0 only1.16.2 – 1.20.4

What it does

The mod is a data pack that edits the loot table of the Piglin Brute. With the default settings, a Piglin Brute has a chance to drop Netherite Scraps, and the Looting enchantment raises that chance. Server owners who want a different rate open the datapack, go to data/minecraft/loot_tables/entities, and edit the piglin_brute JSON file.

Inside that file, the minecraft:set_count function sets the normal drop count without the Looting enchantment, while minecraft:looting_enchant sets the count when Looting is used. The max value is the upper limit on Scraps a Brute can drop and min is the lower limit. Raising a number above 1 increases the drop rate, and lowering it below 1 decreases the rate; for example, 1.1 raises the maximum and 0.9 lowers it. The min value is adjusted the same way.

Brutes Drop Scraps is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source. It needs no mod loader beyond the data pack itself; the file is published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt across 19 release versions.

Key features

  1. Netherite Scraps from Piglin Brutes

    Piglin Brutes can drop Netherite Scraps at a set chance, with no change to other mobs or items.

  2. Looting-aware drop count

    A separate function controls the drop count when the Looting enchantment is on the weapon, so it can be tuned apart from the base rate.

  3. Editable minimum and maximum

    The min and max values in the loot table JSON set the bounds of the drop, and adjusting them by a small amount changes the rate.

  4. Plain JSON editing

    All settings sit in one loot table file inside the data pack, so no code or build step is needed to change the rate.
