RandomDropMod
by Hreggi5
RandomDropMod changes what mobs leave behind, so each kill can drop one item picked from the full creative inventory.
What it does
When a mob dies, it drops a single random item drawn from the full creative inventory instead of its usual loot. The pool includes ordinary blocks and tools, but also restricted entries such as barriers, command blocks, spawn eggs and structure voids. A zombie can leave a netherite sword or a decorative block, and a sheep can leave anything else in the game, so the outcome of a kill is hard to predict.
Mobs no longer drop their normal loot under this mod. Because each drop is unrelated to the mob that produced it, the mod turns ordinary fights into surprises and gives the adventure a more chaotic pace. It is server-side only, so a server can run it and players join without installing anything. The mod is built for Forge 1.20.1 and is released under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Random mob drops
Each mob that dies drops one completely random item in place of its normal loot.
Creative inventory pool
The random drop can be any item from the creative inventory, including restricted blocks.
Default drops replaced
Mobs no longer drop their usual items, so normal loot is replaced rather than supplemented.
Unpredictable encounters
Each kill becomes a surprise, which makes fights less predictable and changes how a world plays.

Use cases
Chaotic adventure maps
Map makers can use random drops to give every fight an unexpected reward.
Replayable survival
Players who want a new experience from familiar mobs can play a world where kills never repeat the same loot.
Who it’s for: Players who want unpredictable fights on a Forge 1.20.1 world, and server owners who want random loot on their server. Because the mod is server-side only, only the server needs to run it.
How it compares

Random Mob Drops reaches further, with Fabric and Forge files for 1.20.4 – 26.1.2, and it runs on both client and server under All rights reserved. Random Entity Names is server-side only for Forge 1.20.1 and is released under the MIT License, which is not open source.

RandomDropMod transforms Minecraft into a chaotic, unpredictable adventure by completely overhauling how loot works.
