How to View Mob Drop Conditions and Looting Bonuses

Farming mobs efficiently requires knowing whether an item drops naturally or demands a specific kill method. Through EMI, you can inspect complete mob loot tables and see how different combat conditions change what a creature drops.

Checking Mob Loot Categories

1. Open your inventory to access the EMI interface.

2. Search for the mob drop you need—or the mob's spawn egg if browsing—and open its drop information tab.

3. Examine the separated sections on the display. Mob drops are split into distinct categories based on the exact conditions required to acquire them.

Preparing the Right Kill Method

Use the categorized display to plan your weapon enchantments or farm design before fighting:

• Fire Conditions: Check if certain drops are placed in a category requiring the mob to be on fire when it dies, such as animals dropping cooked meat instead of raw.
• Looting Enchantment: Look for categories showing extra drops or improved yields when using a weapon enchanted with Looting.
• Base Drops: Compare conditional categories against standard drops so you know whether a basic mob trap will produce the items you want or if manual player kills and specific gear are necessary.
