Stone Drop
by lyszczykooo
Stone Drop changes what plain stone yields when a player breaks it, adding a Mining XP system that grants permanent upgrades for each player.
What it does
Ores and common stone blocks, including stone, deepslate, andesite, diorite, granite and tuff, can give extra drops with a configurable chance. Breaking ores earns Mining XP, and as a player levels up the drop chances rise and an upgrade shop becomes available to buy from. Upgrades are permanent and cost levels, so a player trades raw drop rates against quality-of-life options and other powers.
Everything runs on the server, and the mod is server-side only: players who join with a vanilla client keep the full experience, and no client mod or resource pack is needed. Progress is shown through a green boss bar, a minimal action bar popup or both, and each player can toggle these displays. Fabric API is required, and the mod is published for Fabric only, across five release versions 1.21 – 1.21.11 with 1.0.3 for 1.21.11 as the latest file, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Key features
Configurable stone drops
Stone, deepslate, andesite, diorite, granite and tuff can drop real items at a chance set in the config.
Mining XP levels
Breaking ores grants Mining XP, and levels raise drop chances and open purchases in the upgrade shop.
Permanent upgrades
Upgrades are bought with levels and stay with the player, so each purchase is a lasting trade-off.
Silk Touch and tool tiers
Silk Touch turns off the extra drops by default, and tool tiers are detected so the right tool is needed for custom materials.
Customizable drop tables
The item drop table, source block list and per-level XP curve can be changed, or the default drops replaced with custom loot.
