Player Only Mob Loot
by Andriyko69
Player Only Mob Loot restricts mob drops to kills in which a player took part, with a few vanilla exceptions, on NeoForge for 1.21.1.
What it does
Under this mod, a mob drops its loot only when a player damaged it and then killed it, or damaged it and died later from fall damage, fire or a similar effect. Deaths caused by the environment, by mob-versus-mob fights and by automated farms produce no loot. Tamed wolves or skeletons that finish off a mob do not count as a player kill, so a wolf or skeleton kill yields nothing from the mob. The one vanilla exception is a charged creeper, which still produces its mob head.
Equipment drops and experience follow the same participation rule as the rest of the loot, so a mob killed without player involvement gives neither. The mod changes how mob drops work on the server and needs no client-side installation. Source code and the issue tracker are public, and the project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so it is open source.

What the author says
Player Only Mob Loot changes how mob drops work. Mob loot will only drop if a player was involved in damaging the mob, or if the kill comes from specific vanilla mechanics.
