Drop Scavenger
by Dyinstar
Drop Scavenger lets a server owner decide which mobs leave loot when killed, by whitelisting or blacklisting mod ids.
What it does
The mod targets the drop behavior of mobs in modpacks where loot farms built on neutral or hostile mobs would otherwise give risk-free rewards. A configurable list controls which mobs clear their victims' drops, and mod ids can be placed on a whitelist or blacklist to protect certain cleanup from the rule. Because it runs on the server alone, players join without installing anything. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1 only, with 1.0.0 as the latest beta file from 2026-05-22, under the MIT License.
Key features
Configurable mob drops
Server owners choose which mobs remove their victims' drops, so loot rules match the pack design.
Mod id whitelist
Listed mod ids are included in the cleanup, letting a pack author target specific mobs from other mods.
Mod id blacklist
Listed mod ids are excluded from cleanup, so drops that a pack depends on are kept intact.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

What the author says
Many modpacks face a design flaw: Players can exploit neutral/hostile mobs’ AI to farm loot risk-free. This breaks progression and undermines pack balance. This mod solves that by letting pack authors control which mobs should or shouldn’t drop loot when killed by others.
