MCDrops is a mod that periodically drops random items for active players.

This is currently a Forge mod for Minecraft 1.18.2.

Configuration

The mod automatically creates config files for the mod on first start. These are server-specific configs, so you'll find them under saves/<your world>/serverconfig/mcdrops/. They include comments, and should be fairly self-explanatory to customize.

When in doubt, check the log files. The mod outputs info / warning messages for improper configuration.

Drop interval

Drops can be configured to happen every X seconds or in a random interval. The random interval is recalculated after each drop, so it will be different every time.

# Every 10 minutes
drop_interval = 600

# Or, each delay is a random interval between 5 and 20 minutes
enable_variable_interval = true
min_drop_interval = 300
max_drop_interval = 1200

Defining a drop

Create an entry like this in your world's drops.toml file:

[[drops]]
tag = "registry id here"
weight = 20
count = 5
min = 5
max = 15

• tag -- This is the registry ID for the dropped item (e.g. minecraft:torch). Items from other mods can be used here too. If the item can't be found when the mod loads, it is skipped (i.e. the mod fails safe).
• weight -- The chance this item is dropped. This is internally converted to a percentage based on the sum of all weights.
• count -- The number of the given item to drop. Defaults to 1.

Random ranges

If you use min and/or max instead of count for the drop amount, the mod will drop a random amount of the given item. count takes priority over min and max, so don't combine them!

• min -- The lower bound of the random drop amount (inclusive). Defaults to 1.
• max -- The upper bound of the random drop amount (inclusive). Defaults to min.
