Player Only Loot

by mr_ron

Player Only Loot is a Fabric server mod that limits mob drops to kills made by players.

FabricServer-side onlyAll rights reserved1.16 – 1.18.2

What it does

Mobs drop their loot only when a player or a player-like actor kills them, so a death caused by a trap, a cactus or other environmental source leaves nothing behind. The mod targets server-side mob farms, where unattended killing would otherwise produce items. It runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. Builds exist for Fabric only, across 1.16 – 1.18.2 and 9 release versions, under All rights reserved, and the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Player-only drops

    Mobs keep their loot table, but items are dropped only when a player or player-like actor makes the kill.

  2. Farm restriction

    Automated mob farms that rely on drops no longer produce items unless a player is involved in the kill.

  3. Environmental deaths

    Mobs killed by hazards such as cacti produce no loot, which limits drops from passive farms.

What the author says

This mod makes it so mobs don't drop items unless they're killed by a player (or something acting as a player like the slaughterer from mob farm utilities). no more passive farms, no more zombies living forever because they picked up loot from a mob that hugged a cactus too enthusiastically, no more loot drops from…
