Description
This addon makes every non-player mob drop meat when it dies, using a server-side death listener so drops happen automatically in-game. Common animals and fish drop matching meat or fish, undead and hostile-style mobs drop rotten flesh, large or boss mobs yield extra meat, and other mobs default to beef; player and technical entities are excluded. No commands or special setup are required beyond installing the addon on your world or server—just play normally and collect the extra food and resources from mob kills.
Mod Wiki
Mob Meat Drops
Quickstart
- Install the
.mcaddonfile to Minecraft Bedrock (1.21.93+). - Activate both the Behavior Pack and Resource Pack on your world or server — no extra settings required.
- Go play normally. Kill any mob and a meat item will automatically drop at its location.
Overview
Mob Meat Drops ensures that every non-player mob in the game drops some kind of meat or food item when it dies. The drops happen automatically — there are no commands to run, no special tools required, and no changes to how you play. Simply kill mobs as you normally would and collect the extra food they leave behind.
What It Adds
The addon does not add new items or blocks. Instead, it guarantees that vanilla food items drop from mobs that would not normally drop them, and reinforces drops for mobs that already do. Every mob death (except players and purely technical entities like armor stands) produces at least one food item.
Abilities And Mechanics
Drop Categories
Mobs fall into one of four categories that determine what they drop:
Specific Mapped Drops — well-known animals and fish always drop their matching food:
| Mob(s) | Drop |
|---|---|
| Cow, Mooshroom | Raw Beef |
| Pig, Piglin, Piglin Brute, Hoglin, Zoglin | Raw Porkchop |
| Sheep, Goat | Raw Mutton |
| Chicken, Parrot | Raw Chicken |
| Rabbit, Frog | Raw Rabbit |
| Cod, Squid, Glow Squid, Dolphin, Turtle, Guardian | Cod |
| Salmon, Elder Guardian | Salmon |
| Tropical Fish | Tropical Fish |
| Pufferfish | Pufferfish |
| Zombie, Zombie Villager, Husk, Drowned, Zombie Pigman, Zombie Horse | Rotten Flesh |
Hostile Mobs — mobs such as Blaze, Creeper, Enderman, Ghast, Phantom, Skeleton, Spider, Warden, Wither, and similar creatures drop Rotten Flesh.
Everything Else — any mob not covered by the above rules drops Raw Beef as a default.
Drop Amounts
Most mobs drop 1 item. Larger and more powerful mobs drop more:
| Drop Amount | Mobs |
|---|---|
| 4 items | Warden, Ender Dragon, Wither, and any boss-type mob |
| 2 items | Guardian, Elder Guardian, Ravager, Hoglin, Zoglin |
| 1 item | All other mobs |
Exclusions
Players, armor stands, dropped item entities, and experience orbs never produce a drop. All other mobs are covered.
Progression And Strategy
- Early game: Kill animals as usual — you will consistently get raw meat even without a weapon enchanted with Looting, making food gathering more reliable from the start.
- Mid game: Mob grinders and hostile mob farms become food sources. Skeleton, spider, and creeper farms passively generate Rotten Flesh that can be traded with Cleric villagers for Emeralds.
- Late game: Taking on the Warden, Wither, or Ender Dragon now rewards 4 meat items on top of their normal drops, giving boss fights a small but satisfying food bonus.
- Ocean monuments: Guardian and Elder Guardian farms produce Cod and Salmon respectively, doubling as fish farms without needing fishing rods.
