Greedy Mobs

by DAMIANOO9

Greedy Mobs lets some hostile monsters pick up items they encounter, a behavior vanilla monsters mostly lack.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalMIT License1.21 – 26.2

What it does

Only some monsters gain the ability to pick up items, while most vanilla mobs keep their default behavior. The change is delivered as a datapack for servers and runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with files for 1.21 – 26.2. Only the server needs the mod to run the change, and players can join without installing anything. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Item pickup for monsters

    Selected monsters can collect dropped items from the ground, which changes how they interact with the world.

  2. Selected mobs only

    Not every monster is affected, so the change applies to a set of vanilla mobs rather than the whole population.

  3. Datapack delivery

    The behavior is provided as a datapack, so it can be added to a world without installing a client-side mod.

What the author says

Makes it so mobs are able to pick up items all the time. (Only some monsters are capable of picking up items in vanilla) ### Note Don't expect many updates as there's not much you can add to a datapack like this. I will try my best to update it to newer versions.
