Better Loot is a datapack that attempts to make loot drops from entities and loot within chests more attune to how players would intuitively expect the loot to be. An example of this is that many mobs now drop bones. At the same time, some dungeons and their chests did not feel very rewarding for exploring, so this datapack makes better items appear more often. There are also a few new items that enhance a players attributes (such as health, damage, and speed)

Yes, but it is rare and I think only in end city chests. All data transfers over, so the health boost would too.

Suggestions,

Endermen, drop 2 ender pearls because they have two eyes.
Wither Skeleton, drop their head on death.
Blazes, drop at least 1-2 blaze rods upon death.
Horses, Llamas, Cows, should drop at least 3-5 leather.
Remove Phantoms dropping Elytras, it ruins the challenge of acquiring the said item.
Zombie Villagers should have a chance of dropping at least one emerald upon death.

1. Thats too high of a droprate. It makes it too easy to obtain them and makes the looting enchantment not as useful.
2. Wither skeleton skulls are supposed to be difficult to obtain. I may increase the drop chance or make it scale with looting, but dropping every time would not be good and may even be annoying to obtain.
3. Same as 1
4. True, they are bigger than cows. I may add this later.
5. The chance is very low and the elytras have 0 durability. It helps on multiplayer servers where exploring end cities becomes progressively more difficult. What I may do is make it so that elytras only drop from phantoms if the player who killed them has visited the end.
6. Agreed
