Peaceful Gathering
Peaceful Gathering makes mob drops reliable on peaceful difficulty, so players can collect materials without fighting hostile mobs.
What it does
Hostile mob drops normally depend on combat, which peaceful difficulty removes. This mod lets those drops still be obtained: rotten flesh, ghast tears, blaze rods, spider eyes and dropped bees are listed among the reliable sources. Items can also be crafted or converted at workstations, such as meat items from water buckets and crafting tables, glowstone blocks smelted in a blast furnace, bone blocks cut at a stonecutter, and blaze powder combined with basalt.
A data pack sets the world to hard difficulty and adds a game rule so monsters still spawn, which lets players gather drops while the world stays challenging. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, across three release versions, 1.21.9 – 1.21.11, with snapshot builds also published. Server owners need it installed, while players may add it on the client. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.
