Vegan Hostile Mob Drops
by notblue
With Vegan Hostile Mob Drops installed on a server, hostile mob drops are replaced by vegan recipes for players who play peaceful mode.
What it does
The mod adds crafting recipes that use a vegan base in place of ingredients that normally come from hostile mobs. Substitute paths cover items such as the common mob-drop materials, and froglight colors can be crafted the same way. Shulker shells and more items are included, so a vegan base can produce them as well.
The pack also includes recipes for base ingredients that are not vegan, such as honeycomb, rabbit hide and honey bottles, replacing them with plant-based alternatives. Because the data pack runs on the server, server owners install it on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge or Quilt, and players need nothing extra. Files are published for 1.20 – 26.3 across 24 release versions, with snapshot builds also available.
The pack is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license, so the mod is not open source. Public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker, and the author permits modifying and sharing the pack under the conditions set by that license.
Key features
Vegan crafting paths
Recipes produce slime blocks, spider eyes, rotten flesh and ender pearls from a vegan base instead of hostile mob drops.
Blaze rods and ghast tears
Blaze rods and ghast tears have vegan crafting recipes, so brewing and blaze-based items remain reachable in peaceful play.
Froglight colors
Froglights in each color can be crafted from the vegan base, without needing drops from the mobs that normally supply them.
Replacement recipes
Recipes for honeycomb, rabbit hide and honey bottles swap out base ingredients that are not vegan for alternatives.
