Global Re-enable accurate drops for entity stacks.

It used to be if a mob of 10 pigs dropped to their death, they would drop the loot of 10 pigs. Now they just drop the loot of one pig!
This hugely reduces the yield of mob drop farms because they merge before they fall.
These mobs are legitimately gained so please don't, effectively remove them. Mob spawners are not cheap and this now lowers their value.

With so many bugs still not fixed, I can't fathom why are you going to the effort of making the game worse for players??

Please focus on the many many existing bugs, rather than further removing things from players.

 

They have disabled this feature due to a bug exploit

But there are way better ways around it, which don't involve reducing loot drops of certain animals

 

If what I'm told, regarding a certain bug, is the reason for this change, just remove the spawners of the offending mob type as it serves no purpose anyway.
That way players who use mob drop farms don't have their income from those farms, drastically and needlessly reduced.

 

Unfortunately we're using a public plugin for mob stacking and as per usual it's very poorly implemented so we had to disable this feature to fix an exploit (there is no other way to achieve this reliably). Drops that consider the stack size will most likely return in the future. I changed the name of the thread to match your post.

 

This is a thread I am 100% in support of Drogo, thanks so much for the suggestion! I do hope to see it implemented!

 

Does the exploit only relate to llamas? And if so can’t you just remove those spawners rather than make a change that affects all spawners?

 

It doesn't.

 

Hopefully you can achieve this as it massively reduces the income from spawners to the point that there is no point using them and their value will drop.
I’ve used falling mobs in my sculk farm previously and that won’t work nearly as well anymore.
This is a huge change to a major feature of the game.

I understand the need for the change but it needs to be temporary

 

Ill point this out if no one has already. You do in fact get accurate drops when shearing mooshrooms, sheared 20kish yesterday, dropping 105k mushrooms.

 

Yes, shearing or killing with a sword works as it should but if you kill a stack by dropping them, which kills them all simultaneously, yields only one mob drop.
