Iron's Custom Ink Drop
by Lmocactus
Iron's Custom Ink Drop changes how mobs drop the ink used by Iron's Spellbooks, and it can be tuned through its config files.
What it does
Mobs in the world drop ink for Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks, which is required. The default setup gives common ink with a 20% chance per drop, and the drop count, rarity and rate can all be changed in the config. Files are published for Forge 1.20.1, with version 2.0 dated 2026-07-31, and the environment is client and server. The license is MIT, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Ink from hostile mobs
Hostile mobs can drop Ink Iron's Spellbooks, adding a source of ink beyond other methods.
Adjustable drop chance
The default common drop chance is 20%, and it can be raised or lowered in the config.
Rarity and count settings
Dropped ink can be set to common, uncommon, rare, epic or legendary, with the amount per drop adjustable.
In-game config editing
The config can be edited directly in game, so changes do not need a separate text editor.
