Dropt Mod FAQ

Dropt is a block drop replacement mod that lets modpack authors define complex drop rules and conditions. Rules can be written in JSON, ZenScript, or via a dedicated API.

The 9Minecraft article lists Dropt Mod for Minecraft 1.12.2.

No. Dropt is a block drop replacement mod; it changes how existing block drops work rather than adding new items or blocks.

It can match on block (meta, wildcard, multiple values, whitelist/blacklist), items dropped, harvester type (player, non-player, any), harvester held item, harvester game stages, harvester player name, biome, dimension, and vertical range.

It supports add to existing drops, replace all drops, replace all drops if drop selected, replace all matched dropped items, and replace all matched dropped items if drop selected.

Game stage matching requires the Gamestages mod. Other matching conditions do not list any dependency.

Dropt uses .json configuration files placed in the [instance]/config/dropt folder. Filenames are not important as long as they use the .json extension, and you can have as many files as you like.

It adds /dropt reload to reload configuration during runtime, /dropt hand to copy the held item's string for pasting into the .json file, and /dropt verbose to log the resource location and meta value for all broken blocks.

Dropt uses rule caching per block state to improve performance, and parses strings when rules are loaded to reduce parsing during matching. Its profiling shows over 100k rules injected, parsed, and cached in well under a second.

Errors in the .json syntax are reported via the Forge log, and when reloading in-game they are reported to the chat console. All errors are also logged to [instance]/dropt.log.
