Mobs Drop Meat
by Gentra
Mobs Drop Meat makes mobs that normally drop nothing leave meat behind when they die, and it also changes how new meat items are handled for mobs.
What it does
Many mobs in vanilla Minecraft drop no meat at all. This mod gives those mobs a meat drop on death, so a player hunting them gets food from the kill. It also fixes the case where a newly added meat item is not picked up by the mobs that are meant to produce it. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it is published for Forge and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.20.1 – 1.21.10, under All rights reserved.
Key features
Meat from more mobs
Mobs that drop nothing in vanilla leave meat when they die, giving hungry players a food source from hunting.
Fix for added meat items
New meat items from other mods are used by the mobs meant to produce them, instead of those mobs dropping nothing.
Server-side install
Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything.

How it compares
Drop the Meat is a Forge and NeoForge option that runs on client and server, under a custom license, for 1.16.3 – 1.21.1. Zombies Eat Villagers is server-side only and MIT licensed, for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so it is closer in environment to Mobs Drop Meat but adds a different behavior.

What the author says
Lots of Minecraft mobs don't drop meat. This mod fixes that by adding a new meat item that many mobs will now start dropping. Finally a use for those mobs that drop nothing.
