Description of the issue:

There is no config option to disable hemp seeds dropping from breaking grass.

Versions & Modlist

Minecraft: 1.16.5
IE Version: 1.16.5-4.2.0-130
Forge version: 36.0.0

IE is the only mod present

@Calendis @BluSunrize I'm sorry for necro-ing this, but I just wanted to leave this solution here in case anyone else is still looking to do this: You can just use the CraftTweaker mod, simply create a script containing:

loot.modifiers.removeByName("immersiveengineering:hemp_from_grass"); loot.modifiers.removeByName("immersiveengineering:hemp_from_tall_grass");

And grass should no longer drop industrial hemp 😊 This is for version 1.20, it should work for any other versions but the syntax might need some tweaking depending on how CraftTweaker wants things to be written

Why is such a config required? Hemp is a key part to IE's infrastructure, I see no reason to remove it.

alternate obtain path for modpacks I'd guess?

I understand your logic that having this config option when playing with only IE would break the mod. The other commenter is correct that I'm setting up a modpack. Understandable if you would rather not add this option. Do you know of a third-party mod that controls grass drops, or do you know if it is possible for me write a mod that overrides grass drops?

I investigated a config option to add this. As far as I can tell it's not possible, because configs load after the grass drop modification.
Forge has a certain order in which these things are done, so I'm afraid this doesn't look viable.
