Grabby Mobs
👾 Allows all mobs which can carry equipment to pick up items from the floor.
About this Mod
Grabby Mobs makes changes to the game mechanics, specifically of mobs in-game. In vanilla Minecraft, there is only a small chance a mob can grab items. The mod makes it so that all mobs which can grab items, can always do so. This way you can be sure that the Zombie you've caught can be decorated with a fancy helmet.
What mobs can pick up:
Drowned: All equipment
Evoker: No armour
Husk: All equipment
Piglin: All equipment
Piglin Brute: All equipment
Skeleton: All equipment
Stray: All equipment
Vex: All equipment
Vindicator: No armour
Witch: Mainhand only
Wither Skeleton: All equipment
Zombie: All equipment
Zombie Villager: All equipment
Zombified Piglin: All equipment
You may freely use this mod in any modpack, as long as the download remains hosted within the CurseForge or Modrinth ecosystem.
