Emerald Drop（绿宝石滴落）
by RedLotus
Emerald Drop changes what villagers and wandering traders leave behind, so that their deaths can release emeralds.
What it does
When a villager or wandering trader dies, the mod can drop emeralds in place of the usual loot. A newly spawned villager is also covered, so the change applies throughout a world rather than only to traders already present. The mod is about villagers and emeralds and makes a small set of related changes to how they interact. Fabric is the only loader, and the 1.3.0 build targets 1.21.11.
Key features
Emerald drops from villagers
Villagers that die release emeralds, giving a steady source of the currency alongside normal drops.
Wandering trader drops
Wandering traders also release emeralds when they die, so trader encounters can pay out.
New villagers included
Freshly spawned villagers follow the same drop behavior as existing ones.
