Resource Pandas
by Mrbysco
Resource Pandas makes panda mobs produce items when they sneeze, and lets server owners change what each panda yields.
What it does
Pandas that are fed a specified input item can sneeze out a resource. The chance per sneeze is set between 0 and 1, with 0.6 (60%) as the default, and the item dropped is chosen from a configured item or tag. The default setup includes nine standard recipes that can be removed or swapped for new ones, and everything is editable through datapacks, where the JSON files hold the listed values.
The mod works on Forge and NeoForge, and it must run on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and issue tracker publicly linked. Just Enough Items (JEI) and Roughly Enough Items (REI) are optional; when installed, they display the converted panda recipes and the friendly name of the spawn egg. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the latest Forge file is 2.0.2 for 1.20.1, while the latest NeoForge file is 13.0.0 for 26.3.
