Exact Drop Control

Quickstart

1. Press J in-game to open the Exact Drop Control menu.
2. Type a number into the Destroyed Item Drop Count field to set how many items blocks should drop when mined.
3. Type a number into the Killed Mob Item Drop Count field to set how many items mobs should drop when killed by you.
4. Click Apply to save your settings.
5. Go break a block or kill a mob and watch the drop count match what you set!

Overview

Exact Drop Control lets you take full control over item drop quantities in the world. Instead of relying on vanilla randomness, you decide exactly how many items a block drops when destroyed, and exactly how many items a mob drops when killed by you. It's a simple, personal setting accessed through a lightweight menu — no crafting, items, or blocks required.

What It Adds

• A keybind (J by default) that opens the Exact Drop Control settings screen.
• Two configurable values:
  • Destroyed Item Drop Count — how many of an item a block drops when you mine/break it.
  • Killed Mob Item Drop Count — how many of an item a mob drops when you kill it.
• An Apply button to save your chosen values.

These settings are personal to each player — they only affect drops caused by your own actions (blocks you break, mobs you kill).

How To Use

• Open the menu anytime with the J key (rebindable in your controls settings under "Exact Drop Control").
• Enter a whole number in each field:
  • Leaving a field empty or entering 0 restores normal, vanilla drop behavior for that category.
  • Valid values range from 1 up to 2304.
  • Entering an invalid or out-of-range value is treated the same as 0 (vanilla drops).
• Click Apply to confirm your changes and close the menu. Your settings persist until you change them again or the setting is reset.

Abilities And Mechanics

• Block Drops: When you break a block, if a block drop count is set, the block's first eligible drop item is dropped in that exact quantity instead of its normal loot table result. Blocks that already drop nothing keep dropping nothing unless your count applies.
• Mob Drops: When you kill a mob, if a mob drop count is set, the mob's first eligible loot item is dropped in that exact quantity, replacing its usual loot table roll. Equipment drops (like armor or held items some mobs drop) are suppressed while a mob drop count is active, so only your specified item and amount appear.
• Vanilla Fallback: Setting either count to 0 (or leaving it blank) tells the mod to leave that category's drops completely untouched, behaving exactly like normal Minecraft.
• These effects only trigger for drops caused directly by your own block breaking or mob kills — other players and non-player causes of death or block breakage are unaffected by your personal settings.

Progression And Strategy

There's no crafting or unlocking involved — this is a creative/utility tool available from the start. Use it to:

• Farm specific items in predictable, exact quantities for building or testing.
• Set up consistent resource collection for large builds without inventory management or drop-rate math.
• Quickly toggle back to normal survival-style loot behavior by resetting values to 0 whenever you want vanilla drop rules again.
