Drizzleproof
by davigj
Drizzleproof, a Forge and NeoForge building utility, keeps dropped items from scattering when certain blocks are broken.
What it does
Breaking a block normally throws its item into the air, where it can land several blocks away. Drizzleproof changes that for the blocks it covers: their item entities drop straight down instead of being launched sideways, so the drop stays at the spot where the block was. The mod also includes weather mechanics, and it can make the vertical pop of dropped items more or less pronounced.
Drizzleproof aims its change at the cases builders run into most often, such as scaffolding and other blocks that are mined in bulk. Blocks mined with Silk Touch keep their drops predictable, and the player's mining state, including Nausea, can make a block drizzle-prone again. Each of these behaviors can be turned on or off in the config. The mod is published for Forge and NeoForge in three game versions, 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server. It is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Straight-down drops
Covered blocks drop their item entities directly below the broken block, not in a scatter around the original position.
Silk Touch handling
Blocks mined with Silk Touch keep their drops together, a behavior that can be switched off in the config.
Vertical pop control
The strength of the vertical pop given to dropped items is adjustable, so drops can be made to settle faster or stay higher.
Configurable behaviors
Each drop rule and the weather option can be turned on or off, so server owners can choose which blocks follow them.

What the author says
Drizzleproof is a building utility mod that allows certain blocks to drop their corresponding item entities in more predictable trajectories. When broken, the items fall straight downwards, as opposed to falling in a 3x3 XZ radius around the original position. The following features are configurable: - All blocks are…
