Player Only Loot
Mobs only drop loot from player kills (or player actors)
About this Mod
This mod makes it so mobs don't drop items unless they're killed by a player (or something acting as a player like the slaughterer from mob farm utilities).
no more passive farms, no more zombies living forever because they picked up loot from a mob that hugged a cactus too enthusiastically, no more loot drops from mobs (unless killed by a player).
version 1.0.0-1.0.1 also only give drops from players if killed by players, great for pvp :)
