Drop Randomizer

Drop Randomizer

A Paper plugin that replaces every block and mob drop with a random item from the full item pool. Drop amounts are preserved — only the item type changes. Compatible with Paper 1.20.6+ and 26.1+.

How it works

- Block breaks (player-initiated): drop is replaced with a random item. - Cascade breaks (sugar cane, bamboo, kelp): each block in the cascade is individually randomized. - Mob kills: each drop is replaced with a random item. - Fishing, loot chests, and other loot table sources are unaffected.

Commands

| Command | Permission | Description | |---|---|---| | /randomizer reload | randomizer.admin (default: op) | Reloads config and rebuilds the item pool. |
