About this project
What does Drop the Meat add?
This is a rather small and simple mod, just adding meat for every passive mob, which you can all cook. Villagers also occasionally drop their noses which you can eat as a delicacy or cook into a slime ball.
Every Drop can now be enabled and disabled through the config. You can also enable and disable butcher trades in the config. All meat drops are by default enabled, but only a few meat trades that I thought made sense are by default enabled.
A bunch of these will probably look inaccurate due to the fact that I could not or did not want to find more information about them.

Feel free to add this to your modpack.
