Minecraft Bedrock Drop Guide - Theria Games

Introduction

Welcome to the Minecraft Bedrock Drop Guide! This guide will provide you with information about the items that mobs drop upon death in the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. Understanding mob drops is crucial for survival and progression in the game, as these drops provide essential resources for crafting, brewing, and exploration.

Common and Rare Drops

When you defeat a mob in Minecraft Bedrock Edition, it will typically drop certain items. These drops are generally categorized as common or rare. Common drops have a higher chance of occurring and may include basic resources like rotten flesh from zombies or bones and arrows from skeletons. The amount of common drops can vary within a specific range. Rare drops are less frequent and often consist of more valuable or unique items, such as enchanted gear or specific crafting components.

In Bedrock Edition, some rare drops have a base chance of occurring, which can be increased by using a weapon enchanted with Looting. The Looting enchantment generally increases the chance of rare drops and can also increase the quantity of some common drops. However, the exact percentages and increases can vary between Java and Bedrock Editions.

Hostile mobs are creatures that will attack you on sight. Defeating them yields various useful items.

Creepers

Creepers are known for dropping gunpowder, a key ingredient in crafting TNT and firework rockets, which are essential for elytra flight. Creepers may also drop music discs if killed by a skeleton or stray and a Creeper head if killed by a charged creeper.

Skeletons

Skeletons commonly drop bones and arrows, and rarely, they can drop bows.

Zombies

Zombies typically drop rotten flesh and have a small chance to drop iron ingots, carrots, or potatoes.

Drowned

Drowned, an aquatic variant of zombies, drop rotten flesh and have an 11% base chance, increasing with Looting, to drop a copper ingot, and may also drop tridents if they are holding one.

Phantoms

Phantoms, which attack players who haven’t slept for three in-game days, drop phantom membranes used to repair elytra and craft potions of slow falling.

Blazes

Blazes, found in Nether Fortresses, drop blaze rods, which are crucial for crafting eyes of ender needed to locate the End and defeat the Ender Dragon, and are also used in brewing.

Witches

Witches can drop a variety of items including glass bottles, glowstone dust, gunpowder, redstone, spider eyes, sugar, and sticks, as well as the potion they are drinking when defeated.

Wither Skeletons

Wither Skeletons, found in Nether Fortresses, drop bones, coal, and have a 2.5% base chance, increasing with Looting, to drop a Wither Skeleton skull, which is necessary to summon the Wither boss.

Wither

Defeating the summonable Wither boss yields a nether star, essential for crafting beacons that provide powerful status effects.

Neutral Mob Drops

Neutral mobs in Minecraft exhibit passive behavior unless provoked, making them a unique category of creatures.

Enderman

Endermen, one of the most well-known neutral mobs, will only become hostile if a player directly looks at them or attacks them. Their ender pearl drops are highly valuable, as they are essential for crafting Eyes of Ender, which are required to locate and activate the End Portal. Players can create an Enderman farm in the End dimension, utilizing warped fungus or trapdoors to manipulate their movement and funnel them into a killing chamber for efficient farming. This allows for a steady supply of ender pearls, crucial for teleportation and progression in the game.

Zombified Piglin

Zombified Piglins, another neutral mob, spawn in the Nether and will only attack if a player harms one of them, triggering a swarm response from nearby Piglins. They drop rotten flesh and gold nuggets, with a small chance of yielding gold ingots or any gold armor and weapons they were carrying.

Passive mobs generally do not attack players and serve as essential sources of renewable resources.

Cows

Cows provide raw beef for food and leather for crafting books, armor, and item frames.

Pigs

Pigs drop raw pork chops, which can be cooked for a reliable food source.

Sheeps

Sheeps yield wool, useful for beds, carpets, and banners.

Chickens

Chickens are another valuable passive mob, producing eggs and dropping feathers and raw chicken upon death. Many players establish automated farms for these mobs, using dispensers, water currents, or breeding techniques to maintain a steady supply of materials without constant manual effort.

Villagers

Villagers, though passive, play a crucial role in Minecraft’s economy. They offer valuable trades for emeralds, which can be exchanged for enchanted books, weapons, armor, and other rare items.

Breeding villagers and assigning them specific job blocks, such as lecterns for librarians or smithing tables for toolsmiths, allows players to create efficient trading halls. Additionally, wandering traders occasionally appear, offering unique items that may be difficult to obtain otherwise. Protecting villagers from hostile mobs, particularly zombies, ensures their survival and keeps trading opportunities available.

Mob Farms

Mob farms are a great way to collect drops automatically by using game mechanics to spawn and kill mobs. For example, an enderman farm can provide a steady supply of ender pearls, while creeper farms yield gunpowder. A Looting III sword increases drop rates significantly.

These farms can be customized to target specific mobs. To farm only creepers, place carpets to block spider spawns and use trapdoors on ceilings to prevent zombies and skeletons from spawning.

Key Materials

Building blocks

Chests, hoppers

Fence gates, trapdoors, carpets

Water buckets, slabs, staircases

Looting III sword

Best Locations

Above large oceans (ideal for spawn rates)

High in the sky with caves lit below

Avoid Mushroom Island biomes (no hostile spawns)

Construction Overview

Build a platform at Y=250 with a double chest and 3×3 hopper grid.

Surround it with 19-block-high walls (tinted glass optional).

Add staircases on top and extend outward to form an 11×11 funnel.

Place open fence gates around the center to let mobs drop.

Inside, build staggered 3×3 spawning platforms two blocks apart.

Use 72 trapdoors per layer; at least three layers are recommended.

Add carpets or ceiling trapdoors to filter mob types as needed.

Extend walls two blocks higher and cover with a solid roof.

Use slabs at the bottom for easy access and to prevent mob spawns.

Operation Tips

AFK below the farm, in a lit area, to attract mobs.

Kill mobs manually for XP or use campfires for auto-killing.

Use skeletons to shoot creepers for music disc farming.

Carpets on hoppers stop XP orbs from getting stuck.

This setup ensures efficient, high-yield, and customizable mob farming.

Fun Facts

Baby zombies are 30% faster than adult zombies.

Originally, Endermen had green eyes, which is why the Eye of Ender is green, but their eye color was later changed to purple.

The number of slimes that spawn depends on the moon phase, with the most slimes spawning during a full moon and none during a new moon.

Silverfish won’t drop anything apart from experience.

Some mobs can drop the equipment and armor they spawned with when killed by a player or a tamed wolf.

Items picked up by hostile mobs after spawning are always dropped upon their death.

Conclusion

Mob drops are vital for crafting, brewing, and progression in Minecraft. While players can collect drops through combat, mob farms offer a more efficient and consistent method. Customizing farms to target specific mobs—like creepers for gunpowder or endermen for pearls—maximizes yield. Enhancements like Looting and proper kill methods further improve results. Understanding drop mechanics and building efficient farms ensures a steady supply of key resources for long-term advancement.
