Gathering End Food Ingredients with Any Weapon

Bypassing the Knife Requirement

In standard gameplay with End's Delight installed, obtaining cooking ingredients from End-themed mobs requires landing the finishing blow using a designated knife. The End Food for Everyone data pack alters this system so you can harvest culinary drops using standard combat gear.

Choosing Your Weapon

You do not need to keep a specialized culinary tool on your hotbar during End expeditions. The pack modifies mob drops so that any supported weapon type rewards food items upon defeating targets:

1. Equip your preferred combat gear, such as a sword, a bow, a staff, or even a shield.

2. Engage any targeted End mob in combat.

3. Strike the final blow using your chosen weapon.

4. Pick up the dropped culinary ingredients from the ground alongside standard mob loot.

Because the pack updates the loot tables to recognize broader weapon categories, you can stay fully geared for survival without sacrificing cooking ingredient yields during your adventures.
