Vegan Mob Drops
by notblue
Vegan Mob Drops replaces passive mob drops that players avoid taking from friendly animals with crafting recipes that use plant and synthetic materials.
What it does
Vegan Mob Drops changes how a set of common crafting recipes get their ingredients. Ink sacs, rabbit hide, rabbit feet, tropical fish, bones and glow ink sacs can be replaced with vegan alternatives, so players can build leather, string and dye without killing friendly mobs. Bone meal can be made in a composter from bones, and honeycomb can be crafted from plant materials. The recipes follow the mob drops they stand in for, so the same items remain available.
The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it for the recipes to change, while players may add it so they see the same recipe set. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.20 – 26.3, and a data pack form is also offered. Snapshot builds are published as well.
