MobDropOres
by MattDahEpic
MobDropOres changes what some mobs drop, so killing them yields ore in place of the usual items.
What it does
Selected mobs drop ore blocks or ore items when they die, giving players an alternative source of ore to killing mobs for ground-based ores. Players who prefer peaceful play can get ore this way without mining. The mod is built on MDECore, which must be installed alongside it. Forge is the only loader, with files for 1.7.10 – 1.10.2, and the code is released under the MIT License.
Key features
Ore drops from mobs
Certain mobs drop ore when killed, so ore comes from combat rather than from digging stone.
Peaceful alternative
Players who avoid mining can gather ore from mobs instead of the ground.
Vanilla mob coverage
Ore forms are assigned to the vanilla mobs players hunt most or least, across the supported releases.
