DESCRIPTION
This simple datapack makes it so mobs killed by the player have a small chance (2.5%, increasing by 1% for each level of looting, to be precise.) to drop their spawn egg, allowing them to be resummoned at another time, or put into monster spawners! This datapack was inspired by the Life Series, where the same thing was possible in a few seasons. There's not much more to this, so have fun!
OTHER THINGS
This datapack was made for version 26.1.2.
Being a loot table datapack, this may have difficulty running with other datapacks that involve altering mob drops. Use at your own risk. Compatibility will remain ensured with other datapacks made by myself, unless otherwise stated.
