Edit Mob Drops

Sample config for 1.7.10

Sample config for 1.12.2

For 1.14+ (1.16.5 and latest)

Both of these configs do the same thing for different versions of Minecraft.

This config adds a chance to drop a stack of minecraft:diamond_sword, with between 1 and 1 (so 1) swords, with metadata 0 (an ordinary diamond sword), using the file "sword.json" for NBT, to everything, with a 100% chance.

"sword.json" contains the following in 1.7.10:

<code>{display:{Name:"A sword"}}</code><br />It contains the following in 1.12.2:<code><br />{"display": {"Name": "A sword"}}</code><br />In 1.16.5 and latest, it instead contains the following:<br />{"display":{"Name":"[{\"text\":\"A sword\"}]"}}

This NBT data gives the sword the name "A sword".

The .json files can contain any valid NBT in json format. Check the syntax with a /give command if you're not sure whether it'll work.

After the sword, this config adds a chance to drop a stack of minecraft:diamond, with 1 diamond of metadata 0, not using an NBT file (as that section is blank).

The diamond has a 0% chance for anything to drop it, a 0% chance for monsters, a 0% chance for bosses, and a 100% chance for group 1, defined lower in the config as Creepers and Witches.

Lower down in the config, skeletons are listed as being a "Mob to Clear". This means default drops are cleared, but this happens before the extra items are added, so skeletons will still drop a diamond sword called "A sword".

Finally, the "Single Mob Items" section adds items to a single type of mob - in this case, adding a diamond pickaxe (metadata 0, no NBT) to chickens with a 100% chance to drop, and the same for a diamond axe.

In 1.7.10, entity names can be found by having debug mode on.

After 1.12.2, metadata was removed entirely, so the 1.14+ version of the config file does not include it.
