About this project

What does Realistic Item Drops add?

Realistic Item Drops v3

Realistic Item Drops is a datapack which makes dropped items look and act realistically. The datapack uses armor stand magic to make dropped items look realistic. While it's inspired by the mod of the same name, the datapack runs server-side and doesn't need any resource pack!

Install the datapack into your world, and then run /reload to start it. To uninstall it, make sure to run /function items:clear_all_items before you remove the function!

v3 of this pack has minified it, and made it run so much quicker and easier than before, with other cool changes too!

This datapack works for 1.20.2 and above only. Older versions can be found here.
