Requires the library mod Collective (Fabric) and the Fabric API.
Configurable Extra Mob Drops is a server-side mod which adds the ability to add extra items to drop on death for any entity. On first load, it generates a config file. You can add items manually, or use the commands in-game. Any items with NBT tags such as enchantments and written books are supported. Modded entities are also supported, just make sure to remove or rename the config file in between adding mods which add custom mobs. If the file does not exist, it'll be generated with all possible entity types.
The config file generated is located in './config/configurableextramobdrops/' named 'mobdropconfig.txt'. The drop chances are set via the command or can be changed in the config file as well.
Commands:
/cemd usage - Shows the usage of commands.
/cemd list - Lists all entity names which can be used in addhand and cleardrops.
/cemd reload - Reloads all manual changes to the mobdropconfig file.
/cemd addhand <entity-name> - Adds the item held in the main hand as a drop for the entity named <entity-name> with a 100% dropchance.
/cemd addhand <entity-name> <drop-chance> - Adds the item held in the main hand as a drop for the entity named <entity-name> with a dropchance in between 0 and 1.0.
/cemd cleardrops <entity-name> - Clears all extra drops for the entity named <entity-name>.
All commands require cheat-access.
