Spigot 1.16.1
MobHunting 7.5.3-SNAPSHOT-B1067

It's a small thing, but

• Spider is hanging from the ceiling
• Room is three blocks high (probably higher would also work)
• Ceiling is one block high, with accessible space above
• Player kills the spider with one stroke, so it dies at the ceiling
• BagOfGold "drops" on the floor above

I imagine that random offset was the issue. Amusing that there was a random offset in Y.

I will test throughout the day, and let you know. Since it's random, it will take a large number of tests to feel confident of a result.

Just make it clear. I removed the random offset. The random offset makes the item fall a little which mskes it look natural

Ah. Thanks for the clarification.

dropItem seems to work fine. Possible alternatives:

• Use dropItem only for entities that hang from ceilings or are flying near the ceiling, otherwise use dropItemNaturally.
• MC and/or Spigot could fix dropItemNaturally so that it does not exhibit randomness in the Y dimension.
• Apply a little gravity, so that the item falls a little.
• Don't worry about it -- it works fine as-is.

So, I drop the item EXACTLY where the mobs dies, but I can choose to spawn the item in two ways.

1. DropItem
2. DropItemNaturally
   Until now I have been using Naturally (the only difference is a random offset - which explains your observation) I think naturally looks better, but in next release I have changed to 1) so let me know what you think is best.

I will make an official release in a moment.
