Custom Drops
by xkat
Custom Drops lets a server owner change what mobs, blocks and chests give when they are broken, killed or opened, using loot tables set in configuration.
What it does
Drops are defined through config-driven custom loot tables, so the mod can change the output of virtually any block or entity in the game. Shulkers, for example, can be set to drop a different number of shells than vanilla, and loot found in villages or exploring can be made richer, such as more bread or seeds. Redstone build items, vault doors and amethyst budding blocks are among the other things that can be given their own drops, and the mod also covers extra content beyond these examples.
The mod is configured through a ModMenu screen with a rule editor that supports tags, wildcards, autocomplete and default or vanilla reference values, and per-world configs are available. Changes apply when the world is saved, and a reset option restores vanilla drops. The mod requires Fabric and runs on the server; players may add it, but a server runs without it on their side. Files exist for 26.2 and 26.3, and the latest file is 26.3 for 26.3, published 2026-09-20. The code is under a custom license and is not open source.
Key features

Rule editor with tags and wildcards

How it compares
Infinity Vaults is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 26.1 – 26.2. Pushable Budding Amethyst is also server-side only and open source, released under CC0 1.0 Universal for 26.1 – 26.3, and changes only the budding amethyst block. Custom Drops covers a wider set of drops, but it is not open source and is limited to 26.2 – 26.3.
