📖 About This Mod
📜 The original Better Dropped Items was made by cbtc-59, and its updates stopped at Minecraft 1.19.2.
🔗 Original author's project: https://github.com/Draylar/better-dropped-items
💡 Although there are already some similar alternative mods on the market, I personally really like this project and don't want it to stop being updated. So I (xingmeng_520) decided to take over, continue maintaining and updating it on the original basis, and renamed it to New Better Dropped Items.
⚠️ Please note: I have no connection with the original author cbtc-59. This mod is not an official sequel, nor has it been authorized by the original author. It is released only for personal maintenance and continued use.
🐞 Debug Mode
Debug mode is used for development and troubleshooting. It can help check how cards are rendered and diagnose visual issues. Regular players do not need to enable it.
📮 Feedback & Issues
📝 Feedback channel TBD; it will be added here later.
🙏 Note: The author is still a beginner, so please be patient if there are any issues.
