More Leather & Bones Drops is a lightweight, vanilla-friendly mod designed to make animal drops feel more natural and logical.

Overview

Instead of relying on hard-coded drop lists, this mod dynamically adjusts the amount of leather and bones dropped by animals based on their actual physical size. The larger the animal, the higher the probability and quantity of resources obtained. It introduces no new items, blocks, or complex configurations—it simply makes the Minecraft ecosystem more realistic.

Features

• Size-based drops: Large animals drop more leather and bones, while baby animals yield significantly fewer drops. Small animals do not yield additional drops.
• Support for modded animals: The mod does not rely on hard-coded mob lists. It automatically supports any entity that functions as an "Animal" out of the box, making it perfect for modpacks.
• Logical exclusions: The drop system is smart. Arthropods do not drop bones or leather, and undead animals (such as skeleton horses) will drop bones but not leather.
• Looting enchantment support: The "Looting" enchantment works correctly, appropriately increasing the quantity of additional drops based on your enchantment level.
