A gameplay mod that overhauls loot tables for mobs and structures, making combat more rewarding with new items like mob heads, primordial materials, and unique drops.
Fighting mobs in Hytale can feel unrewarding when they drop nothing useful. Better Loot addresses this by overhauling loot tables across the game, giving you actual reasons to engage in combat.
What Does This Mod Do?
This mod adjusts drop tables for mobs and structures to feel more rewarding. It adds new items, increases drop variety, and gives previously unrewarding enemies meaningful loot.
New Features
Mob Heads and Trophies
Animals like Boars, Bears, Deers, and Warthogs now have a chance to drop their heads. The mod also adds a Taxidermy Bench where you can craft trophies from collected heads.
New Primordial Items
The mod introduces several new crafting materials:
- Primordial Meat
- Primordial Daggers
- Primordial Tooth
- Primordial Claw
- And more
