🔧 Configuration Files

With configuration files, you can customize various aspects of the Mob Capture Cards to fit your gameplay.

🗂️ Mob Capture Cards Configuration

The config/easy_mob_farm/mob_capture_card.cfg file allows you to adjust how and when Mob Capture Cards are dropped by mobs.

dropMobCaptureCardOnFishing = true
dropMobCaptureCardOnKill = true
mobCaptureCardFoilDropChance = 0.01
mobCaptureCardFishingDropAllowList =
mobCaptureCardFishingDropDenyList =
mobCaptureCardFishingDropChance = 0.15
mobCaptureCardKillDropAllowList =
mobCaptureCardKillDropDenyList =
mobCaptureCardKillDropChance = 0.1
requirePlayerKill = true
  • dropMobCaptureCardOnFishing: Enables/disables card drops from fishing.
  • dropMobCaptureCardOnKill: Enables/disables card drops from mob kills.
  • mobCaptureCardFoilDropChance: Chance for a Foil Mob Capture Card to drop (e.g., 0.01 = 1%).
  • mobCaptureCardFishingDropAllowList: List of mobs that can drop cards when fishing.
  • mobCaptureCardFishingDropDenyList: List of mobs that cannot drop cards when fishing.
  • mobCaptureCardFishingDropChance: Chance for a Mob Capture Card to drop from fishing (0.15 = 15%).
  • mobCaptureCardKillDropAllowList: List of mobs that can drop cards when killed.
  • mobCaptureCardKillDropDenyList: List of mobs that cannot drop cards when killed.
  • mobCaptureCardKillDropChance: Chance for a Mob Capture Card to drop from mob kills (0.1 = 10%).
  • requirePlayerKill: If true, only mobs killed by players will drop Mob Capture Cards.

📝 Allow and Deny Lists

If you want to control which mobs drop capture cards, you can use Allow and Deny lists 📝. These lists let you specifically include or exclude certain mobs. Here's how they work:

  • 🟢 Allow List: Only the mobs in this list can drop capture cards.
    Note: If you use an allow list, all mobs not listed are denied by default.
  • 🚫 Deny List: Mobs in this list are explicitly denied from dropping capture cards, while all others are allowed.

You can configure separate lists for kill drops and fishing drops. 🎣⚔️

Example: Allow Only Specific Mobs 🟢

Use this setup if you only want certain mobs to drop capture cards:

# Allow zombies and skeletons for kill drops
mobCaptureCardKillDropAllowList = minecraft:zombie, minecraft:skeleton
mobCaptureCardKillDropDenyList =

# Allow cod and salmon for fishing drops
mobCaptureCardFishingDropAllowList = minecraft:cod, minecraft:salmon
mobCaptureCardFishingDropDenyList =

Example: Deny Specific Mobs 🚫

Use this setup if you want most mobs to drop cards but block certain ones:

# Deny Ender Dragon and Wither from kill drops
mobCaptureCardKillDropAllowList =
mobCaptureCardKillDropDenyList = minecraft:ender_dragon, minecraft:wither

# Deny squid and turtle from fishing drops
mobCaptureCardFishingDropAllowList =
mobCaptureCardFishingDropDenyList = minecraft:squid, minecraft:turtle
