Lootier Farm Animals
by Dashy22
Lootier Farm Animals changes the loot tables of the main farm animals, so cows, pigs, chickens and sheep drop different items, and the datapack can be used on its own.
What it does
The mod targets the common farm animals and reworks what each one drops, so hunting them for a particular item takes some planning. Players who keep a farm for food or materials will notice that the drops differ from vanilla and vary between animal types, which changes the reason to raise each kind. Some drops are slightly altered so each animal fills a niche rather than duplicating the others.
Pigs receive extra food-related drops, and a few other mobs have changes to their drops as well, although the main farm animals remain the focus. The mod is distributed as a data pack, so it requires no loader-specific code to run. The server must run the mod, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Files exist for 1.21 – 26.2, and the 1.2+mod file targets 26.2 as the latest build. The license is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0, and the mod is not open source. Snapshot builds are published.
Key features
Reworked farm animal drops
Cows, pigs, chickens and sheep drop items that differ from their vanilla loot tables.
Extra pig food drops
Pigs give additional food items, which adds another source for players who raise them.
Adjusted drops for other mobs
A few other mobs have their drops changed, adding some variety beyond the farm animals.
Data pack distribution
The changes are delivered as a data pack, so they can be applied to a world without a loader mod.

How it compares
Feed All is a Fabric client-side only mod, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, so only the client needs it. No Farm Animal Variants is server required and client optional, not open source, and has files only for 1.21.5. Salt's Animal Farm is a client and server mod, open source under the MIT License, for 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, and changes how the farm animals work rather than their drops. Lootier Farm Animals does not change the animals' behavior and is handled on the server side.

Are you tired of having to make a cow farm just for bookshelves, or needing to hunt generations of chickens for a singular feather!?! Well, this is the datapack for youuu! The main farm animals have all had their lootables slightly changed to fit them into niches or make each of them stand out a little more, not just…
