    Quality of Drops - Better Drops from Mobs
    Built for 1.21.5


    I have played Minecraft for a long time and always felt that certain mobs and their drops were never rewarding. How often do we find ourselves going back to exploring to find mobs for their loot, not very often. What is also very clear to me is there are a ton of items in this game that have a either low chances of finding them or boring sources of grinding them. My enjoyment for this game has never changed, but my time I can invest into it definitely has shrank. I made changes that would not take away from the gameplay, but instead improve the amount of time it takes to obtain specific items.

    I spent time making this data pack for myself and my friends and figured there might be someone out there that would like this pack. This data pack includes some small and what I would deem balanced changes to specific mobs to entice us as players to go into the world searching for these mobs as an alternative source of our desired loot. I will be actively updating and adding to this data pack, so if you have any suggestion that you would like to see please leave a comment. I may not add every suggestion but I will consider them. Additionally, there is a chance I do not update this pack if they change the coding again.

    Would it be possible for Breezes to have a chance of dropping wind charge enchants?

    Are you wanting the Breeze to have a chance to drop the wind burst enchanted book? If so, yes this is possible and something I am wanting to implement.

    Completely agree. I only added the chance for Mending to the ender dragon and wither, to give an alternative route to earn mending and a reason to go back to fight those bosses. No other mobs drop mending.
