by ZoniCraft

What it does

Ores placed around the world drop Mob Essence when broken, and players use it in crafting recipes to produce items that normally come only from mobs. Only aggressive mobs are supported, since the mod was imagined around the Peaceful difficulty and passive mobs are left out. Where an item sits in a Crafting Table grid changes the result, which the recipes depend on. The mod works on client and server, so both need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License, and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Mob Essence from ore

    Ores generated in the world yield Mob Essence, giving players a way to obtain mob-style materials by mining.

  2. Crafted mob drops

    Mob Essence is used in recipes to craft items that closely match vanilla mob drops.

  3. Position-sensitive recipes

    The placement of ingredients in the Crafting Table determines the output, so the same items can produce different results.
