A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that prevents Pillagers and Vindicators from dropping their weapons upon death, while still allowing them to use those weapons normally during combat.
Features
- Pillagers no longer drop crossbows.
- Vindicators no longer drop axes.
- ⚔️ Mobs continue to fight exactly as they do in vanilla.
- No gameplay changes besides the removed weapon drops.
- Helps reduce item entity buildup on servers running large raid farms, improving performance and preventing storage systems from becoming clogged.
- Works on dedicated servers and in singleplayer.
Compatibility
- Minecraft: 1.21.11
- Mod Loader: Fabric
- Environment: Server-side only (clients do not need to install the mod)
- Enviroment [for singleplayer]: This mod can be installed for clients to be used in single player worlds
This mod is ideal for servers, technical players, and modpacks that want to reduce unnecessary item drops while preserving vanilla mob behavior. It's especially useful for large raid farms, where eliminating dropped crossbows and axes reduces item entity lag and prevents collection systems from filling up with unwanted loot.
