Cursed Earth - selective mob drops?

[Anton_]

I've more or less copied DW20's Blood Magic setup, with Cursed Earth generating the mobs and the Well of Suffering ritual on top killing them off and getting Lefe Essence into the Blood Altar. That all works fine.

Only problem is with seemingly selective mob drops.

I'm getting bones, arrows, string, gunpowder, and rotten flesh.

I'm not getting spider eyes (but do get string).
I'm not getting bows (but do get arrows and bones).
I'm not getting drops from other mobs that I've seen being killed in there, such as Blazes (Blitzes? Blizzes?), Endermen, or Witches.

Are those items just not dropped in the Cursed_Earth/Well_of_Suffering situation?

I see the exact same thing, i suspect that these mobs are slightly different from normal mobs they are based on, I know that they are seriously buffed in terms of speed and damage, so perhaps their loot tables are not the same as the 'normal' versions of these mobs?

Try using a powered spawner from EnderIO and see if you get different loot results.

The main goal of this build is to automate the blood alter, personally I found this one of the most fun builds in my following of DW'20's latest series

-Wuffle!

I'm glad to hear it's not only me. I noticed that DW20 also seemed a bit surprised at the limited variety. And yes, EnderIO's powered spawners do produce all the loot (but I haven't checked whether that includes zombie carrots/taters/etc).

I'm not familiar with this setup, but wouldn't that essentially just mean that it's not giving player-kill only drops? That seems normal. There are only a few things out there that count as player kills.

Drbretto, thank you. You're probably right, from looking at http://minecraftpc.wikia.com/wiki/Player_Kill-Only_Drops
