PainLoot
by dimakovboi
PainLoot replaces the usual way resources drop, so materials come from losing health, falling, and other harmful events on Fabric for 26.1.2.
What it does
PainLoot changes how resources reach the player. Instead of harvesting ore or breaking blocks for their usual drops, the player receives rewards through loss, such as falls, damage taken from mobs, or getting wet. The mod disables Moon blocks, and the number of moon-related rewards depends on the force of the impact or the amount of damage absorbed.
Each kind of loss gives its own reward. A stronger blow usually means a greater reward, while a smaller health loss means a rarer result that is worth more. Players can also gain building blocks from jumping, and when a mob hits them they may throw away a weapon or armor piece. Rare loot, including diamonds, netherite, totems and enchanted golden apples, is possible at a 10 percent chance, with the odds rising as health drops.
PainLoot requires Fabric. The server must run it, while players may add it to their own clients. It is not open source and is released under All rights reserved. Files exist for 26.1.2 only, and the latest is 1.0.0, published on 2026-06-04.
Key features
Rewards through loss
Resources come from falls, mob hits and other harmful events, not from ore or block drops.
Damage scaled rewards
A stronger blow gives a greater reward, while a smaller health loss gives a rarer and more valuable result.
Health multiplier for rare loot
The chance of a rare moon drop grows as health falls: 10 percent above half health and up to 30 percent near the bottom.
Falls and water as sources
Only falls take damage in the mod's loss system, and getting wet also produces a reward.

What the author says
PainLoot completely changes the way resources are received in Minecraft. Forget the fact that a hole falls from blocks - now it only falls when you take damage. Break the blocks as much as you want - nothing will fall out. But if you take damage, how the objects are getting wet from you. The stronger the blow, the…
