More unique zombies
More unique zombies changes the zombie, husk and drowned mobs by giving them items sticking out of their bodies, and it also alters the spectral arrow and some tool drops.
What it does
Zombies, husks and drowned spawn with items sticking out of their bodies, so each mob looks less uniform. Which item appears is picked from a list, and each item has a small chance to drop when the mob dies. The item lists come from the mod's data files, so the set of possible items can be changed in the item tags folder.
The mod also adds uncommon wooden, golden and stone tools as possible drops, and a spectral arrow. The drop chance for these items is set in a config file, which can be found in the config folder, and the number of items chosen from a list can be set to a maximum of 3. The mod requires Aquarius Libs, and it is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 13 release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2. Client and server both need it. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
