DejFidOFF does this work in 1.22.2 ?

@Jadesy: DejFidOFF does this work in 1.22.2 ?

hello o/ I guess yes. I will check that this weekend and update.

Vorac, 3 days ago

Maybe this is obvious to everyone else, but how do I reassemle the small parts of rusty gears?

KeiroFyre, 6 days ago

This is a love letter from just a couple of players that have used your mod ever since we discovered it. Thank you so much for making this mod, and making it the way YOU envisioned. One of my favorite parts of this mod are the Gear Parts that drop almost all the time, it allows my friend and I to get gears at a steadier pace than relying solely on traders or the very rare drop chance that drifters normally drop full gears. The additional metal bits and limestones from surface drifters help with the early game when we spawn in places without any limestone. Out of over 200+ mods that we run, Better Loot is up there with the best of them to us. It makes combat just as rewarding as exploration and worth fighting out in temporal storms and high-rift days

FiletOfNate

Thank you. I guess it´s game - falx feature.

FiletOfNate, Apr 26th at 2:52 PM (modified Apr 26th at 2:53 PM)

Tested with 1.22 stable, works with all types and tiers of enemy aside from bells. Only issue(?) I've observed is as enemies take damage they will drop their loot starting from the first corpse inventory slot, which is kind of of cool effect. I'd imagine carving bits and pieces of them as ou hit them with your falx. Thank you again for making this, it makes me actually want to seek out the noisy neighbors outside my dirt shack.

sebajunee, Apr 8th at 4:04 PM

DejFidOFF wanted to add a bit of encouragement like the others have in the previous comments, you're hard work with each of your mods mean the world to others that truly appreciate them and I hope you're able to receive less unwanted stress from the minority of nitpicking that is all too apparent in some of these players/comments. Keep up the good work & continue to do what makes you happy, friend!

Gaelyn, Feb 18th at 3:58 PM

DejFidOFF I love this mod, thank you for making it!

DejFidOFF , Feb 15th at 10:34 PM

MD_TG

Yes.

MD_TG, Feb 15th at 6:39 AM

Does this mod works on 1.21.6?

Rotwalker_Ronan, Feb 12th at 9:31 PM

Yes DejFidOFF, don't be discouraged! This is my favourite loot drop mod and I'm sure many others come to this one too. I will never understand how people will waste their time nitpicking mods that mod authors create and share with us for free.

DejFidOFF , Feb 12th at 8:48 PM

Leagle

Thank you for your kind words. There are lots of "bad apples" nowdays on the internet, I know. And sometimes it´s really frustrating to keep the motivation to do something for free and not doing really more inportant things irl..
I will continue with all of my mods for sure.

Leagle, Feb 11th at 8:19 PM

DejFidOFF There are multiple thousands of users who keep coming back and enjoy your mod, please do not feel discourage by a small bunch of bad apples.

I really like your mod and what it does. And by the looks of it, it's the most popular in it's category. Either way, your decision will be respected.

DejFidOFF , Feb 5th at 10:49 PM

With idiotic comments like xXJaylaxelXx and Jaylaxel I am millimeters to shutdown all of my mods.. I am really piss of about that and loosing interest about all of that. I will just make mods just for my servers and that´s all....

 

DejFidOFF , Feb 5th at 10:26 PM

El_Neuman

If you think, make your own mod..

 

DejFidOFF , Feb 5th at 10:24 PM

Jaylaxel

Are you kidding me? What are you lying about.. You can´t read? That issue was fixed in october !!! in 2.0.1 !

Jaylaxel, Feb 5th at 2:45 PM

combee
They do not. This issue was posted on the github issue tracker, but the Author closed the issue without fixing anything. https://github.com/DejFidOFF/my-mods/issues/10


combee, Nov 21st 2025 at 2:14 AM

Can someone check if Deep monster drops during a temporal storm are working with this mod?
In my game (1.21.5), they aren't.

El_Neuman, Oct 17th 2025 at 10:11 AM

I think loot is too imbalance, how to config that? 

DejFidOFF , Oct 16th 2025 at 8:58 AM
Azraile, Oct 16th 2025 at 7:49 AM

this in addtion to there normal drops?

eerino, Oct 12th 2025 at 8:47 PM

♡ ok i understand

DejFidOFF , Oct 12th 2025 at 8:19 AM

eerino

no, it´s not code mod

eerino, Oct 11th 2025 at 11:10 PM

can we please config this?  I love it but need changes. 

DUCATISLO, Oct 6th 2025 at 5:10 PM

neat

Wrythley, Oct 2nd 2025 at 7:24 AM

Could there be a version of this mod with just the gear parts? I love being able to split gears- useful for player economy, but I don't want the loot balance changes for fear of incompatibility with something else.

 

I'd code something like it myself, but making new mods from scratch makes me feel like I'm a monkey on a typewriter.

DejFidOFF , Oct 1st 2025 at 12:34 PM

RuinSmith_Hlit

next time --> issue tracker. I will check that and fix if it´s like that.

RuinSmith_Hlit, Oct 1st 2025 at 11:08 AM

this mod seems to disable the unique tier (Double-headed drifter, Stilt shiver, Bellhead shiver, Deepsplit shiver, Gearfoot bowtorn) from dropping jonas parts as they typically do. only sawblade locusts still do. is that intended?

DejFidOFF , Aug 10th 2025 at 6:47 AM

R0D96

No config. Idk Agi´s classes is not my mod.. ask author.

R0D96, Aug 10th 2025 at 3:13 AM

where can I find the config file for this? and also is there anyway to make it not stop certain mob drops from agi's classes from being in the loot table

DejFidOFF , Apr 6th 2025 at 8:08 PM

K0TTINY

Highly reccomended

K0TTINY, Apr 6th 2025 at 2:10 PM

would you reccomend this if im making an arctic spawn world lol?

DUCATISLO, Mar 27th 2025 at 11:47 AM

oh damm he fixing stuff

DejFidOFF , Mar 26th 2025 at 7:23 PM

AcidNight

No, everything have a chance

AcidNight, Mar 26th 2025 at 4:00 PM

Is the loot of gear parts 100% per prowler?

DUCATISLO, Mar 25th 2025 at 8:48 PM

oh wow

DejFidOFF , Mar 25th 2025 at 7:16 PM

DUCATISLO

Me as well, I will start to find out what´s wrong tomorrow.

JustDavid, Mar 15th 2025 at 2:20 PM

Great! Thanks!

DejFidOFF , Mar 13th 2025 at 10:53 PM

JustDavid

It works in all 1.20.x versions. No need to wait

JustDavid, Mar 13th 2025 at 4:28 PM

I truly enjoy this mod and can't wait for it to undate to 1.20.4

DejFidOFF , Feb 21st 2025 at 2:35 PM

CommandoJP

still have also normal drops

CommandoJP, Feb 21st 2025 at 2:19 PM

So the enemes still have their normal drops but then can also drop these items?

DUCATISLO, Feb 6th 2025 at 5:37 PM

gg

DejFidOFF , Feb 5th 2025 at 1:43 PM

Dark_Rarity

It works in all 1.20 versions

 

Dark_Rarity, Feb 5th 2025 at 11:53 AM

please update to 1.20.1

DejFidOFF , Jan 22nd 2025 at 2:58 PM

Winterdragon

yes

Winterdragon, Jan 22nd 2025 at 2:57 PM

Do temporal gears still drop?

DejFidOFF , Jan 18th 2025 at 9:21 AM

TheoTheNeko

It works with xskill it´s pure vanilla loot so..

TheoTheNeko, Jan 18th 2025 at 3:12 AM

Hows does this mod work with the xskills mod? theres a looter perk there that increases the amount of loot you can find and i wanted to see if anyone knew if it was able to be used together, or if it overtook the skill and just used the better loot

TRexTheHunter, Jan 12th 2025 at 5:21 PM

Sounds good, I'll ask around and try to get some help on that! Thx for your response! DejFidOFF

DejFidOFF , Jan 12th 2025 at 3:13 PM

TRexTheHunter

Idk him so.. idk. But, it seems the Usefull loot is one time shot.. No more mods released so I thing no.. 
I am curious too, but I am not c# programer so it´s out of my range to do that config..

TRexTheHunter, Jan 12th 2025 at 2:58 PM

Are you aware if Ketrai is planning to update his older mod? Im curious if we could adjust the loot table from a *.json file from the /ModConfig folder instead of unpacking, editing the tables and then repacking the mod. Thanks DejFidOFF

DUCATISLO, Dec 27th 2024 at 5:32 PM

gg

DejFidOFF , Dec 27th 2024 at 4:01 PM

PerkCuss

Thank you. Unfortunately it´s just a content mod. I am not familiar with any progaming, c# included, so I guess any type of config is impossible.

PerkCuss, Dec 27th 2024 at 3:22 PM

Thank you for this mod DejFidOFF. It's become a staple in the MP server I've been playing on. 

I do find that the amount of items that mobs drop quite high and I've edited your mod to not have as many different items.
This has made updating the mod a bit of a challenge.

Would it be possible to get a config file for the loot tables to be able to fine tune / turn off loot items separate from the mod so as to not have to edit the mod itself?

Understand if not possible,
Love the mod nevertheless

Cheers :D

 

 

DejFidOFF , Dec 27th 2024 at 9:51 AM

DejFidOFF , Dec 27th 2024 at 9:47 AM

Pritis

Thank you !

Pritis, Dec 27th 2024 at 4:03 AM

This obsession with "spoiling" public and perhaps the most common, surface-level, and known feature of updates is ridiculous. Nobody is spoiling anything. Nobody has mentioned anything about the new lore. Merely showing an image of the new (extremely common) monsters isn't spoiling, if you're trying to keep it a secret for yourself for some weird reason, that's on you if you get "spoiled", because the devs have been posting concept art and the models for over half a year before the update was announced. If you're so adamant as to not get spoiled on public knowledge, AVOID THE COMMUNITY, WHO UNLIKE YOU ARE ACTIVE AND PLAY THE GAME. Imagine if someone makes a mod adjusting some aspect of the new monsters or blocks (which they have), will you cry that they're spoiling it for you specifically? I jest, you need not imagine, for you have done it.

Anyways, thanks to the author for sharing this mod, everybody else can cry in a corner.

BirthdaySkeleton, Dec 18th 2024 at 7:57 AM

HoosierDaddy yeah, that point is when the update officially comes out. Story and content spoilers about a beta ruins it for anyone trying to wait until its fully playable. Its as simple as that.

HoosierDaddy, Nov 27th 2024 at 6:21 PM

Don't sweat it DejFidOFF. It's not like the art tells you much of anything about the critter itself. And even if it did, everyone has already had the option to see the material for himself. At some point, the refusal to check out the new content has to be on them, not you.

BirthdaySkeleton, Nov 27th 2024 at 3:35 PM

Theres no need to be sarcastic about it, if you have to rationalize giving spoilers by saying "but other people do it worse" then youve already lost the point.

DejFidOFF , Nov 26th 2024 at 10:01 PM

Allright I change that. And apologize all 20 players to see some spoiler..

Otaku, Nov 26th 2024 at 9:45 PM

Yt works on algorithm and everyone have a diffrent one. I too saw a mob spoiler once on yYoutube but it was zoomed out so I clicked the "don't show this content" button and i have kept me well in the blue

BirthdaySkeleton, Nov 26th 2024 at 9:17 PM

DejFidOFF thats really still not better. It adjusts drifters too, you could have just used the drifter, keep it spoiler free. Its basic internet etiquette to not spoil things that arent out yet for people that want to experience it organically. This mod actually ruined the surprise for me. I was waiting for the update to come out. I shouldnt have to avoid looking at the mod database in fear of spoilers

DejFidOFF , Nov 26th 2024 at 8:35 AM

Duargra

true. But the yt is full of that 🤔

Duargra, Nov 26th 2024 at 1:57 AM

Hey! btw, It might be a little good to not show the mob itself as the cover art for the mob. 😅
It's still something that should be kept hidden/spoilered!
