Rest in Pieces
by startraveler
Rest in Pieces changes the early game of Fabric worlds by adding cloth items in 16 colors that zombies and their relatives drop during combat.
What it does
Zombies, Zombie Villagers, Husks and Drowned can drop cloth, each with a 1 in 3 chance when they die. Zombies drop Blue Cloth, Husks drop Brown Cloth, Drowned drop Cyan Cloth, and Zombie Villagers drop several different colors. The drops give players a reason to engage in combat rather than hide during nighttime.
The mod also changes the bed recipe: a bed now requires two cloths, one wool and three planks, and the wool color must match the cloth color. Dyeing a cloth item gives it a new color. Rest in Pieces runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for Fabric only, across four game versions, 1.21.1 – 1.21.6 with 1.21.6 as the latest, and is released under the Apache License 2.0. The code is not open source.
Key features
Cloth items in 16 colors
Sixteen cloth colors are added, matching the wool colors used for dyeing and beds.
Mob drops from undead
Zombies, Zombie Villagers, Husks and Drowned each have a chance to drop a cloth color of their own.
Changed bed recipe
Beds are crafted from cloth, wool and planks, so the early game uses the new items from the first night.
Dyeable cloth
Cloth items take a new color when dyed, and the bed color follows the color of the cloth used.

Use cases
Early game progression
Players who want a reason to fight at night can gather cloth before their first bed is crafted.
Who it’s for: Players who want a light change to survival progression, and server owners who want zombies to drop something useful without a larger overhaul.
How it compares
Cloths is a Fabric mod for 1.20.1 that is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so it differs in license and version range. Zombie Apocalypse Drops is open source under the MIT License, built for Fabric across 1.20 – 1.21.8, and also runs on client and server, so it covers a wider range of versions.
