Wandering Bags
by furti-two
Wandering Bags adds loot bags that drop from wandering traders, pillagers, witches, piglins, piglin brutes and wardens, each holding relics and gear.
What it does
Each bag type comes from a specific mob. Wandering Traders drop the Wandering Bag every time, Pillagers drop the Pillager Bag in 5% of kills, Witches drop the Witch Bag in half of kills, Piglin Brutes drop the Piglin Bag in half of kills, and Wardens drop the Ancient Bag every time. Right-clicking a bag opens it and grants its contents, which include weapons, relics, potion ingredients and music instruments. Some drops carry a 30% chance of a unique music record.
The mod is built for Forge and its setup is simple: install it on the client and the server, and it works in single-player and multiplayer worlds alike. Individual items can be disabled through the config file, so server owners can trim the loot pool to fit their world. Files cover 1.16.5 – 1.20.1, with 2.0.7 for 1.20.1 as the latest release, published under the MIT License without an open source status.
Key features
Mob-specific loot bags
Each mob type drops its own bag, so the source of a bag tells players which encounter produced it.
Relics and weapons
Bags contain hammers, daggers, emerald gear, a bucket, a flute and a forbidden spell book, among other items.
Potions and food-based effects
Potion ingredients and a new potion that draws on the food bar, rather than health, are among the contents.
Configurable item list
A config file lets server owners disable individual items, so the loot pool can be adjusted.

Latest build for each game version and loader.

Who it’s for: Players who want more loot from mobs in survival or adventure worlds, and server owners who want to configure which items appear.
