Equal Loot
by flemmli97
Equal Loot changes which players receive drops from mobs and bosses, letting each eligible player collect their own loot instead of only the killer.
What it does
Equal Loot gives mobs a per-player loot system. By default only bosses, the mobs in the c:bosses tag, use it. Drops are sorted by the damage each player dealt, and a player who killed the mob is always given loot, as long as the cap on receiving players has not been reached. Players who meet the requirements receive loot until the maximum player amount is hit.
Behaviour is controlled through a configuration file, and the mod ships with a default configuration. Custom entities are set up through data-driven files placed under data/equal_loot/entity, so a datapack is needed to change how a mob behaves. Only the player who receives a drop sees the item pick up. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 26.3 and the 1.21.1 – 26.3 range, under the MIT License, and is open source. Fabric API is required on Fabric.
Key features
Per-player boss loot
Bosses drop loot for each eligible player, so nobody is left out when a team takes down a mob together.
Damage-based eligibility
A player qualifies by hitting the mob recently and dealing a minimum share of its health, which is set in the config.
Killer always rewarded
The player who kills a mob always receives its loot, whether or not other requirements are met.
Data-driven entities
Loot behaviour for each entity is defined through files under data/equal_loot/entity, for datapack authors.
