NoIronGolemDrop
NoIronGolemDrop stops Iron Golems from dropping iron ingots and poppies, which shuts down iron farming in survival worlds and modpacks.
What it does
When the mod is installed, Iron Golems no longer drop iron ingots or poppies on death. The change applies to both naturally spawned golems and those built by players, so an iron farm produces no ingots. Players who rely on golems for iron have to find the metal another way, such as mining or trading.
The mod is aimed at survival, hardcore and progression-focused modpacks where iron should stay a limited resource. Server owners can use it to disable iron farms without writing complex datapacks. It is lightweight and works on the server side, with the server and every player both needing it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge only, across 1.20 – 1.20.6 (7 release versions), with 1.20.6 as the latest file for each loader.
Key features
No iron ingot drops
Iron Golems leave no iron ingots when they die, whether they spawned naturally or were built by a player.
No poppy drops
Poppies are no longer dropped by Iron Golems, removing another part of the golem-based farm.
Lightweight design
The change is a small server-side adjustment that does not add new blocks, items or mobs to the world.
Datapack-free iron control
Server owners can shut down iron farming without building custom datapacks to alter the drop tables.

Who it’s for: Server owners running survival or hardcore servers, and modpack authors who want iron to remain a scarce resource.
