Husks and Parcheds Drop Sand
Java data pack listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on ModrinthThis datapack makes husks and parcheds drop sand when they die. If they die because of fire, they will drop red sand instead.
They will drop 1-2 sand/red sand when dead, adding a chance for 1 extra item per looting level.
IMPORTANT: The way the red sand is dropped is quite finicky. Mobs only drop red sand when dying from a fire tick or when the atacker uses a weapon with fire aspect or flame.
So for example, if a mob dies from the impact of a dispenser ejected arrow that is set on fire by something they won't drop red sand, they would only drop it if the mob died because of the fire tick and not the impact of the arrow. The datapack also checks if the atacker used a weapon with either flame or fire aspect, in which case red sand is dropped.
The datapack does not change any vanilla drop, only adding these ones in top of the already existing.
