Wither Skeleton No Drop Sword
by fabbe50
Wither Skeleton No Drop Sword stops wither skeletons from dropping the stone sword they carry, while the rest of their loot table stays unchanged.
What it does
Wither skeletons normally drop the stone sword held in their hand when they die. This mod removes that sword from the drop, and loot tables are kept unchanged so custom drops still work. The change applies only on the server, so single-player worlds and clients that join a server need no installation. Builds exist for 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, plus 1.21, on Fabric and Forge, and Architectury API is required.

Server-side change
The behavior is applied on the server, so players joining a server do not need the mod installed.
