So basically, I have a large mob spawner set up. it works flawlessly for 12 mobs. The draconic mob grinder kills withers, creepers, pigs, cows, squid, slimes, ghasts, etc.- instantly and without fail and all the items drop along with the xp. Cool. But! If you throw chickens in front of a mob grinder, it kills it instantly as it should, but zero drops of any kind. No matter what, i let it go for an hour with no drops. Turn off the mob grinder and kill it myself, or use an MFR grinder and I get the drops as usual. I don't know programming so I really don't know what kinda weird thing would cause that but it is literally only chickens. Now, the problem is, I could drop MFR grinders here and there around the spawner to kill the chickens but because your mob grinder is so good and fast, it kills them faster than the idle-based MFR unit can, so I still get no drops. Anything I can do to change this? or is there a patched version for 1.10.2 that just isn't in the current All the Mods release?

Thanks for your time. I did search open and closed tickets but I didn't see anything like this. And the issue being so specific to chickens made a google search pretty much useless.

TLDR: mob grinder kills everything perfectly for me x12, but when it kills chickens you get no drops no matter what.

Base information

• Minecraft version: 1.10.2
• Mod version: Draconic-Evolution-1.10.2-2.1.8.273-universal
• Minecraft Forge version: forge-1.10.2-12.18.3.2511-universal

There is no crash report- no crash, just seems to be a weird bug or exception? I can provide any further info you need so please don't insta close me :)

Unfortunately, versions below MC 1.12.2 are not updated anymore. Sorry about that.

You can absolutely take the 1.7.10 branch on this repository and edit it however you like for your own usage.

I understand not wanting to change to a higher version, but there are many, MANY mods not supporting 1.7.10 anymore, and once you get used to the combat system, 1.12.2 just feels right after a while.

Sorry, I didn't see that you were on 1.10.2. My fault. There's pretty much no reason for you not to update to 1.12.2, as most mods will be supported if you do upgrade. 1.10.2 is not great; you're right. 1.12.2 fixes quite a few things I didn't like about 1.8 and 1.10.

If you did edit the 1.10.2 branch, then I would send your updated version to all clients once it's finished, even if it's only a server-side change.

If you're having lag like that, try pre-genning all of the chunks within your world border. If you don't have a world border set up, I also suggest doing that too. It will help immensely with loading times.

As for the drops, I have no idea what could be causing them not to drop. At least in 1.12.2 and as of the time of this post, the code for it is as follows:

fakePlayer = FakePlayerFactory.get((WorldServer) world, new GameProfile(UUID.fromString("5b5689b9-e43d-4282-a42a-dc916f3616b7"), "[Draconic-Evolution]"));
DamageSource source = DamageSource.causePlayerDamage(fakePlayer);
damage = Float.MAX_VALUE;
target.attackEntityFrom(source, damage);

The Mob Grinder doesn't actually handle any drops; it only attacks the target to kill it, letting MC handle the drops.
