Spawner Drops Loot
Spawner Drops Loot makes mobs spawned from spawner blocks drop their normal loot, a change for players who rely on spawner-based mob farms in New Frontier Craft.
What it does
Entities produced by spawner blocks normally leave no drops in the vanilla game. This mod changes that so they drop loot like other mobs, which the author describes as a deliberate gameplay change made to help players who struggled to get drops from spawner-based farms in challenge worlds.
The mod is a single small file that requires New Frontier Craft, and it is published only for b1.7.3. Builds for New Frontier Craft 3.4.X are listed as working, with 3.5.2 expected to work as well. Because it is server-side only, only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything. Versions of New Frontier Craft before 3.5 also need ModLoader installed separately, while 3.5 and later include it. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the Apache License 2.0, so the mod is open source.
Key features
Spawner drops
Mobs produced by spawner blocks drop loot, so spawner farms yield items as other mob sources do.
Single small change
The mod touches only how spawned entities drop items and adds nothing else to the game.
Open source code
The source code and issue tracker are public, which lets server owners inspect the change.

Use cases
Spawner-based mob farms
Players who build farms around spawners can collect drops from the mobs those spawners produce.
Challenge worlds
In hard survival worlds where spawner mobs gave no loot, the mod removes that obstacle.
Who it’s for: Server owners running New Frontier Craft who want spawner-produced mobs to give loot, and players of those servers who depend on spawner farms for resources.
How it compares
No Xp Spawner is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that is not open source and is released under All rights reserved, so it does not work on b1.7.3. Force-Load Spawners! covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.21.4 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later. Spawner Drops Loot differs from both by targeting b1.7.3 under the Apache License 2.0.

What the author says
While attempting to play through a challenge in my NFC world, I end up struggling over spawner-based mob farms. Entities spawned by spawners don't drop any loot, which is not good! I understand that this is an intentional gameplay change, but at some point it made me struggle as I needed some mobfarm drop. This mod…
