No Item Bounce
by armaninyow
No Item Bounce is a Fabric server mod that stops dropped items from scattering when blocks break, mobs die or sheep are sheared.
What it does
Normally items that come from breaking a block, a mob's death or shearing bounce away at random horizontal offsets. This mod removes that scatter, so a dropped item appears on the square of the block or entity that produced it.
Only the first placement of an item is changed; its speed and direction are left alone. Items keep their vanilla vertical bounce, and the bounce can be turned off in the configuration if a server prefers items to sit still. The mod is open source under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it can be reused without restriction. Its requirements are Fabric Loader and Fabric API, and the optional Cloth Config API or YetAnotherConfigLib plus Mod Menu give an in-game settings screen.
Key features
Centered block drops
Items from broken blocks spawn at the block's position rather than scattering randomly around it.
Centered mob drops
Items from dying mobs and from shearing spawn at the exact position of the mob that dropped them.
Storage block centering
Contents of chests, barrels and furnaces appear centered on the block instead of spreading out.
Optional vertical bounce
The upward bounce can be kept or disabled, with items floating at floor level when it is off.
In-game settings
Mod Menu opens a settings screen for the centering and bounce options.

Use cases
Automated collection
Hoppers, item collectors and farms pick up drops from a fixed spot, so fewer items are missed.
Cliff and lava recovery
Items that would otherwise spread out toward lava or cliff edges stay in place and are easier to retrieve.
Who it’s for: Survival players who collect drops by hand, and server owners who want item positions to be predictable for every player.
