Note:
Please make sure to fill out the following template to the best of your ability. This will help us
to identify and fix the issue faster.

Minecraft and Mod version ๐Ÿž
1.20.1 and 8.9.1, and forge 47.3 (i purposefully just updated to make sure it wasn't fixed)

Describe the bug ๐Ÿž
phantoms do not produce ANY loot whatsoever. 4 farms producing with 4 creative speed enhancements going afk, 2 creative speed each and 2 loot, and neither produced any membranes, and im betting the blazes wont either. a second mob, a nametagged blaze from the mod inventorypets, did not release any drops either although i could be remembering incorrectly

To Reproduce โš™๏ธ
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
No clue what causes it, i tried it on a completely new instance and my other instance with a full fledged modpack.

Expected behavior โœ”๏ธ
Seems a bit obvious, the mob farms should drop mob loot

Screenshots ๐Ÿ“ธ

Debugging ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
No crashes, and checking prismlaunchers log reveals nothing

Is the issue happening in combination with other mods? (If yes, please provide a full list) ๐Ÿงฉ
as noted above, tested on a fresh instance with no other mods and on a full modlist, so its probably not caused by other mods

Additional context ๐Ÿ“
im just midlly annoyed, a quick fix im alright with doing is setting up a bonus drop for whatever i find but couldnt figure it out for the creative mob farm, i set it up to always drop one membrane but it didnt seem to so w/e.

oh, i didnt know that was one of the conditions needed. is it explained somewhere on the card/in minecraft by default? if not that might be a neat feature to add on the info section

under "entity type" add a warning "May need sword enhancement for some loot!" to idiot-proof it lol

thanks for the response though, i appreciate it!

Thank you for the detailed report!

I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end, but I appreciate the thorough testing you've done across multiple instances.

Keep in mind that certain mobs, such as phantoms and blazes, require the "killed_by_player" condition to drop loot.

This means that unless you're using the Sword Enhancement, mob farms won't produce drops like phantom membranes or blaze rods.

Suggested Fix:

  • Ensure the Sword Enhancement is applied to the farm. Without this, some mobs won't drop any loot by design.
  • If you've already applied the enhancement and the issue persists, let me know. It could be related to specific mod interactions or mob attributes that need further investigation.
