Drops Are Randomized
Drops Are Randomized changes what a broken block drops: each break yields its normal items plus a random extra, so mining dirt can produce diamonds.
What it does
Breaking a block keeps its normal drops and adds random items chosen from the game, so dirt, stone, wood and ores all give results that can not be predicted. The mod is designed for players who want a world where the block broken no longer decides the outcome, and it is aimed at challenge runs and speedruns where unpredictable resources are part of the rules.
The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both need it. It is built for Fabric only and needs no other dependency. Builds cover 26.x for 26.1.2, with files for 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2, the latest being dated 2026-04-11, and the code is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Extra random drops
Each block break adds random items on top of the normal drops from that block.
Unpredictable outcomes
Dirt can yield diamonds, stone can yield food or tools, and wood can yield sticks or rarer items.
Early strong items
Random results can hand out strong items early, while other breaks give only something useless.
Survival gameplay
The randomness applies in survival, changing how every block gathered in the world behaves.
Compatibility

Use cases
Challenge runs
Players who set their own rules for a run can use the mod to remove predictable resource paths.
Speedrun variants
Runners who want an unpredictable opening can play the same world with random drops in place of the usual ones.
Who it’s for: Players who want survival without predictable block drops, and groups that run challenge runs or speedruns. Server owners who want the same rules for everyone need the mod on the server and on each client.
How it compares
Random drop mod is a server-side only Fabric mod for 1.21.11, released under All rights reserved. Block Drops are Random is server-side only, under the MIT License, and covers 26.2 – 26.3. EntropyMod needs the server, with the client optional, and is for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 under a custom license. Drops Are Randomized needs both sides and covers 1.21.11 and 26.x.

What the author says
Turn your Minecraft world into complete chaos. With this mod installed, every block you break will drop completely random items from the entire game. It doesn’t matter what you mine — dirt, stone, wood, or ores — the drops are no longer predictable. You could get something useless… or something incredibly powerful.
