FZero Drops
by _FZero
FZero Drops changes what players receive when they die and adds a few new items that a server can hand out through a datapack.
What it does
The datapack is built around adventure play and was first made for personal use before the author chose to share it. Instead of losing items on death, the items that would drop are placed into a minecart with a chest that cannot be destroyed, and the cart stays invulnerable until a player opens it while it is empty. A Flesh Bag crafted for inventory management can swallow the whole hotbar in one go.
Players can also reach each other across a world. A Phantom Eye is made from an Eye of Ender with blood recorded in it, and a friend who consumes it teleports directly to the player who made it. The spawn system for Phantoms has been reworked, so one Phantom tries to spawn once per night, around midnight, for each player.
FZero Drops is server required and client optional, so the server must run the datapack while players may join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest builds, 26.1a+mod for 26.3, were released on 2026-09-19. Snapshot builds are published alongside the release versions, which cover 1.21.11 – 26.3 across six releases. The author holds all rights, so the mod is not open source.
Key features
Items kept in a minecart
Drops from death are stored in an invulnerable minecart that stays intact until it is opened while empty.
Flesh Bag for the hotbar
A crafted bag can take in the whole hotbar, which helps with managing a full inventory.
Phantom Eye teleport
An Eye of Ender carrying recorded blood lets a friend warp straight to the player who crafted it.
Reworked Phantom spawns
Each player gets one Phantom attempt per night around midnight, replacing the usual spawn pattern.
Higher drop chances
The datapack raises the chance of receiving tridents and heavy cores, and it adds enchanted books as drops.

What the author says
This datapack was initially meant to be something extremely simple: I wanted to increase the chances of getting a trident drop. Then, I increased the chances of getting a heavy core. Then I had an idea based on my first idea, so I implemented drops of enchanted books. And... well... nowadays this thing has... like…
