No Item Bounce
This mod disables item drop scatter by centering items on the block grid.
About this Mod
Tired of items flying everywhere when you break blocks? This mod centers all item drops on the block you break, eliminating randomness and making item collection predictable and reliable.
| FEATURES |
| Centered Item Drops | Items spawn at the exact position of the block or entity that dropped them. No random horizontal scatter, items stay put |
| Entity Death Drop Centering | Items dropped from dying mobs and players spawn at the entity's exact position instead of scattering randomly |
| Shearing Drop Centering | Items dropped from shearing sheep, mooshrooms, snow golems, and bogged spawn at the mob's exact position |
| Storage Block Item Centering | Items dropped from storage blocks such as chests, barrels, and furnaces spawn perfectly centered on the block |
| Preserved Animations | Items still float and bob normally after spawning. Only the initial spawn position and velocity are affected |
| HOW TO USE |
- Break any block. Items will spawn at the block's position instead of scattering randomly.
- Kill any mob or player, or shear a mob. Dropped items will stay at the entity's position instead of spreading out.
- Enjoy predictable drops! No more chasing items into lava or off cliffs.
