villagerdrop
by cpprust
Villagerdrop adds Forge food and drink items that give players potion effects on a random chance, including the villager-themed Emerald, Piece Villager and Villager Beer.
What it does
Each of the six items is a consumable. Eating or drinking one can apply a potion effect, but the effect only triggers on some uses, based on a probability the mod sets for each item. The Emerald, for example, has a chance between 0 and 2 for its effect, while the Piece Villager is set between 1 and 3. A player who eats the same food several times may therefore get the effect on one use and not on the next.
The mod also has a drop mechanic: some villagers can drop these items. Villagerdrop is a Food and Adventure mod for Forge, so it fits survival worlds and adventure maps where players look for new consumables. It runs on the client and on the server. Both sides need it, so every player on a server that runs it must install it too. The mod targets Minecraft 1.12.2 only, and the latest file is 1.12.2-8, published on 2023-12-17.
Villagerdrop is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code is public. The mod is open source under that license, so the code can be read and reused under the license's terms.
Key features
Villager-themed consumables
Six food and drink items are themed on villagers, including Emerald, Piece Villager and Villager Beer.
Random potion effects
Some items apply a potion effect only on a set probability, so the result of eating one can vary.
Per-item probability ranges
Each item has its own range for its effect chance, such as 0 to 2 for the Emerald and 1 to 3 for the Piece Villager.
Villager drops
Some villagers drop these items, giving players a way to collect them in the world.

How it compares
Food&Drinks is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 with the same client and server environment, but it is not open source and is licensed under All rights reserved. Pillagers is also Forge and open source, under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, and covers 1.12.2 – 1.16.5, so it reaches more game versions than Villagerdrop. Beer is Forge and not open source, under the Apache License 2.0, with files for 1.14.4 – 1.15.2.
