About Grabby Mobs
From Modrinth👾 Allows all mobs which can carry equipment to pick up items from the floor.
Grabby Mobs makes changes to the game mechanics, specifically of mobs in-game. In vanilla Minecraft, there is only a small chance a mob can grab items. The mod makes it so that all mobs which can grab items, can always do so. This way you can be sure that the Zombie you've caught can be decorated with a fancy helmet. Which mobs are able to grab items can be changed in the config, and modded mobs can be added as well.
What mobs can pick up by default:
Drowned: All equipment
Evoker: No armour
Husk: All equipment
Piglin: All equipment
Piglin Brute: All equipment
Skeleton: All equipment
Stray: All equipment
Vex: No armour
Vindicator: No armour
Witch: Mainhand only
Wither Skeleton: All equipment
Zombie: All equipment
Zombie Villager: All equipment
Zombified Piglin: All equipment
All available config options:
