Turning Drops into Gear
Alex's Mobs ties its creatures to a broad crafting system. Instead of a single ore or resource, you collect materials from many different animals, then combine them into items, blocks, and equipment.
Animal-derived materials include things like fur, slime, membranes, and other body parts. These are used for blocks, carpets, sails, and wearable gear. Some items are decorative, such as banner patterns and themed building blocks, while others are functional, like sails or utility blocks.
A few items come from non-creature sources or special processes, including residue and crystallized materials. These tend to be rarer and are often required for the mod's more advanced or unusual recipes.
The mod also adds enchantments and related mechanics that interact with its creatures and gear. Check the 
Animal Dictionary and your recipe book as you collect new drops, since the crafting paths branch widely and a single creature can unlock several recipes.
