Improved Drops
Improved Drops changes how food, crops and mob drops behave, and adds golden decorative blocks, new weapons and a few new mobs for Forge and NeoForge.
What it does
The mod reworks the drop and eating systems: a thirst mechanic affects saturation rather than health, and different foods take different times to eat. It adds golden decorative blocks such as golden bars and chiseled gold, a new crop, and weapons including a flint crossbow and an echo blade. Its own page promises a nether pepper later, which is not in the current files. Both the server and every player need the mod, since it runs as client and server. It is published for Forge and NeoForge across two game versions, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Thirst system
Thirst lowers saturation instead of health, so hunger management changes without direct damage.
Varied eating speed
Different food types take different times to eat, changing how quickly players refill.
Golden decorative blocks
Golden bars and chiseled gold add decorative blocks for building with a gold theme.
