About this Mod
Dropped Buffs
Features:
Dropped Buffs is a mod that adds buffs which can be dropped after a mob's death. Currently, it includes 10 different buffs, adding variety to fighting mobs. Buffs can aid you in combat or help you escape. Initially, buffs have a 5% chance to drop, with an additional 2% per looting level, and an extra 3% for having the luck effect. Only the player who killed the mob can pick up the buff it dropped. Buffs last for 20 seconds. These settings can be changed in the config file, where you can also enable or disable specific buffs. Most of the buffs are based on vanilla Minecraft effects. Picking up the buffs triggers a nice visual effect.
