Essence
by benbenlaw
Essence is a Forge adventure mod that adds essences, which change what mobs and ores drop when players use them.
What it does
Mobs drop different types of mob essence, and an essence used on a mob makes its drops more varied, including items like gunpowder and rotten flesh. Mining ores yields basic essence, which is used to make coal and copper drops more plentiful, and more recipes are planned for later. The drop rates can be changed in the config, so drops can be made more or less common.
Ores from other mods are included through the forge:ores tag, and several supported mods work with the system. Essence is released for 1.20.1 on Forge, with builds covering 1.18.2 – 1.20.1. It runs on client and server, and the code is covered by All rights reserved.
