Gaots Drop Mutton
A simple but useful Minecraft datapack that makes goats drop mutton and wool, because let's be honest - they should have dropped these from the start!
Features
- Mutton Drops - Goats now drop 1-3 mutton when killed (just like sheep!)
- Wool Drops - 30% chance to drop 1-2 white wool
- Looting Compatible - Get more mutton with the Looting enchantment
- Lightweight - Pure datapack modification, no code changes needed
- Vanilla-Friendly - Works perfectly in multiplayer and with other mods
Why This Mod?
Goats in vanilla Minecraft only drop goat horns, which makes them pretty useless as a farm animal. This mod fixes that by making them a viable source of food and wool, similar to sheep.
Now your mountain goat farms actually have a purpose!
