━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Break anything. Get anything. TheRandomDrops replaces every normal block drop with exactly one random safe item, turning an ordinary world into a discovery-driven challenge where food, tools, minerals, blocks and rare resources can appear at any moment.
CORE FEATURES
- Completely random drops — Every block break rewards exactly one random item.
- All blocks supported — Natural and player-placed blocks use the same system.
- No normal drops — Original block drops and experience are cancelled.
- Always different — A block can never reward the same material that was just broken.
- Safe item pool — Technical, unobtainable and challenge-breaking items are excluded.
- Reproducible seeds — Replay or share the same deterministic drop sequence.
- Per-block discovery mode — Each block type keeps one stable random reward for the game.
- Live configuration reload — Apply configuration changes without restarting.
- Lightweight design — No database, dependencies or resource pack required.
TWO GAME MODES
Random mode rolls a new reward every time a block is broken. Two stone blocks can produce completely different items.
Per-block mode assigns a stable reward to every block material for the current seed. All stone may produce apples while all dirt produces iron, allowing players to discover and strategically use the world's hidden drop map.
