Mob Mincer
by Skilles
Mob Mincer is a single item that players use on mobs to gather their loot over a period of time, and it works with modded mobs as well as vanilla ones.
What it does
A player uses the mincer on a mob to collect its drops slowly, which removes the need to kill the mob by hand every time. Some mobs only give up their loot when the tool used has Silk Touch, and the mod notes this requirement where it applies. Each use wears the mincer down, and the item breaks after a set number of uses, so its durability is a real limit on how much it can gather.
The mincer can be placed in a dispenser to feed it, which lets a mob farm run without a player present. Enchanting the mincer at an enchantment table or an anvil raises the chance that using it ignores durability damage and increases the amount of drops collected. The mod also allows players to take the drops for themselves, and it is aimed at mid-game farms that need a specific mob drop.
Mob Mincer runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.20.2, with the latest files dated 2024-01-09. It needs Architectury API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Forge Config API Port and Kotlin for Forge, and its files are released under the MIT License, so the code is open source.
