No Block Loot
by Klinbee
No Block Loot is a data pack that stops chests, pots, barrels and archaeology blocks from dropping their loot when broken.
What it does
Breaking a chest, pot, barrel or archaeology block normally yields the items stored in or generated by it. The data pack removes those drops, so the block leaves nothing behind. The mod is built as a challenge for testing what can be done with little access to resources, and its author notes that it makes progression noticeably slower.
The mod is distributed as a data pack and also as Fabric, Forge and Quilt files, all for 1.20 – 1.20.6. The server must run it, while a player's client may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its author says it works with custom chest loot tables added or modified through data packs, though the author describes this only in general terms.
Key features
Removes block drops
Chests, pots, barrels and archaeology blocks no longer drop their contents when broken.
Covers archaeology blocks
Blocks from archaeology are included in the loot removal alongside the storage containers.
Data pack delivery
The changes are applied by a data pack, so the same behavior can be installed without a loader mod.
Custom loot tables
Loot tables added or changed by other data packs are described by the author as compatible.

What the author says
This is meant to just be a challenge data pack testing the limits of what you can achieve with so little access to resources. Surprisingly you can actually make a lot of progression with this. One of the most notable issues is wood, but there is a way to get planks, but I'll leave that for you to figure out. Yes you…
