Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Realistic Item Drops is a Fabric mod that makes dropped items look better. It's similar to ItemPhysic but makes no changes to game logic. It's only required on the client, which means you can use it on servers.

When dropped, items will spin out of your hand, and land flat on the ground. They then stop spinning and remain stationary.
