Random Drops
Random Drops is a Fabric and NeoForge game mechanics mod that replaces the drop of a destroyed block with a random item, and it can make mobs drop random items too.
What it does
When a player breaks a block, the item it drops is picked at random rather than the one set by the game. Server operators control the behavior with rd commands. The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. It requires Fabric API on both loaders and is released under the Apache License 2.0, which is not open source. Files are published for 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1 and 1.21.11, in the 1.21.11 – 26.3 range.
Key features
Randomized block drops
Breaking a block can yield a random item instead of the item the block normally drops.

Mobs can also be set to drop random items when they die.
Operator commands
Server operators can change drop behavior with rd commands while the server runs.
