Dropz

Items that players drop or throw follow a physics model instead of simply falling to the ground. A thrown stack keeps its velocity, so an item moving quickly can damage mobs or other players it strikes. Sneaking while dropping an item changes how far it is sent, letting a player toss goods in a controlled direction rather than letting them land at the feet.

The mod also covers what happens to items that land on the ground. A configuration screen lets players and server owners choose whether risky drops are kept or handled differently, and the whole feature can be switched off if the mod is not wanted. Dropz needs Rayon to run, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it installed.

Dropz is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.16 – 1.20.1 across 13 release versions. The latest Fabric and Forge builds both target 1.20.1 and were released on 2023-07-30.
