Random Loot Mob Drops (RLMD)
by RTN_project
Random Loot Mob Drops adds a chance for killed mobs to leave an extra filled item drop, drawn from a random loot table, on NeoForge servers.
What it does
When a living entity dies, the mod can roll a chance to drop an additional item stack chosen at random from the configured pool. The drop rewards exploration and combat without asking players to install extra files. Server owners running large modpacks with Create, AE2, Apotheosis or TACZ can add these drops across their mob population.
Items and mobs are selected through whitelist and blacklist settings, and the mod scans tags automatically, which makes it workable in modpacks. Because only the server needs it, players join without any mod on their side. The mod requires NeoForge and is published only for 1.21.1, with the latest file, 1.4, dated 2026-06-22. The code is not open source; the project is released under All rights reserved.
The mod is server-side only: only the server needs it, and clients need nothing. A client installation is still listed as required in the project notes, so check that before deploying it to a server with a mixed player base.
Key features
Random drops on kill

Random item pool
The extra drops are picked at random from the configured loot, so each kill can yield a different result.
Whitelist and blacklist
Server owners choose which mobs and items are eligible, filtering the pool to match their modpack.
Automatic tag scanning
