Drop the Meat

by Moralle

Drop the Meat gives every passive mob a cookable meat drop, and villagers occasionally drop a nose that can be eaten or cooked into a slime ball.

ForgeNeoForgeClient and serverCustom license1.16.3 – 1.21.1

What it does

Each passive mob drops a meat item that can be cooked in a furnace. Villagers also sometimes drop a nose, which can be eaten as a food or cooked into a slime ball. Every drop and every butcher trade can be switched on or off in the config file, and only a few of the trades are enabled by default. Some drops may look inaccurate, since the author did not research every mob's appearance. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.16.3 – 1.21.1, under a custom license that is not open source.

Key features

  1. Passive mob meat

    Passive mobs drop meat that players can cook and eat, adding a food source to animal farms.

  2. Villager noses

    Villagers occasionally drop a nose, which can be eaten as a delicacy or cooked into a slime ball.

  3. Config toggles

    Each meat drop and each butcher trade can be enabled or disabled separately in the config file.

Questions

Which mod depends on Drop the Meat?

Villagers also occasionally drop their noses which you can eat as a delicacy or cook into a slime ball. Every drop can be enabled and disabled through the config.
