Remove "Lava Chicken" Music Disc
by HazestGod
Remove "Lava Chicken" Music Disc is a small datapack that stops baby zombies riding chickens from dropping the Lava Chicken music disc when they die.
What it does
The mod is a single datapack that changes one loot table. Baby zombies riding chickens, the Chicken Jockey mob, normally have a chance to drop the Lava Chicken music disc. After this datapack is loaded, that specific drop is removed, and every other drop from a Chicken Jockey stays as it was in the game.
The datapack is installed by placing the zip file in the datapacks folder of a world save, then launching the world. It works on single-player worlds, LAN worlds with cheats enabled, and server worlds, and it can be loaded into an existing world by typing reload in the game. It needs no mod loader, so a datapack-only setup is enough.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source. Its source code and issue tracker are public, and bugs can be reported there. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a snapshot build is published for each of the five release versions 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, with the latest file v1.1.0+mod for 1.21.11 released on 2025-08-26.
Key features
Targeted loot change

Simple installation
The datapack is a single zip file placed in a world's datapacks folder, with no extra files to configure.
Reloadable in game
The datapack can be enabled in an existing world by running the reload command, without restarting the game.
