Carcasses and Corpses are block items added by Butchery that replace most mob death drops with a physical body. A killed mob can leave a carcass item, which is hung on a hook, bled, drained and then cut up with a cleaver or skinning knife into raw and cooked meats, organs, skins and other materials. Corpses are the humanoid counterparts: the mod adds corpse blocks for zombie-family, piglin, pillager, evoker, vindicator, witch and villager mobs, and a Player Corpse item for killed players. Many of the sources are hostile mobs such as zombies, skeletons and creepers, so carcass handling is a large part of the pack's night-time combat and butchering loop.

Obtaining

Carcass drops

A carcass drops from a kill only when the killer meets one of the following conditions, with the default config value Only Cleavers Drop Carcasses set to true:

  • The killer holds an item with the butchery:cleaver tag in the main hand (any cleaver tier).
  • The main-hand weapon has the Butcher's Touch enchantment (level 1).
  • The main-hand bow or crossbow has the Hunter enchantment (level 1), which allows carcass drops from ranged kills.

With the option turned off, every kill of a carcass mob drops its carcass. Baby mobs do not drop carcasses. Each carcass drops as one block item with a pickup delay of 10 ticks. Each mob type has its own toggle in the config (about 89 toggles, all true by default). Turning a toggle off also removes the vanilla-drop removal for that mob.

Carcass stack sizes depend on the type, from 8 to 32 items per stack. The exact value for each type is listed in the table in the Items section.

Kills also remove vanilla item drops near the death position. After a carcass drop, a delayed server command deletes nearby item entities of the matching vanilla food or material, such as beef, porkchop, mutton, chicken, rabbit, cod, salmon, leather, rotten flesh, bone and slime balls. The carcass replaces these drops. The original mod removed items within 20 blocks. The pack reduces the radius to 4 blocks for all of these commands, so vanilla drops from other nearby sources are much less likely to be removed.

Player corpses

A player killed with a cleaver or with Butcher's Touch leaves a Player Corpse item named " Corpse". The item stores the player's name and UUID in its data and uses a custom client-side renderer. The corpse's loot table (playercorpse) yields one item.

Ender Dragon

Killing the Ender Dragon with the cleaver condition (or with any weapon when Only Cleavers Drop Carcasses is off) spawns a Dragon mob instead of the vanilla drop sequence. The Dragon has 10 health (5 hearts), an attack damage of 3, a movement speed of 0.3 and the monster category. It does not spawn naturally. As soon as there is any non-air block below it, it disappears and places an Ender Dragon Carcass block. The Dragon's carcass is the source of dragon bone, spiked dragon bone, dragon scale and dragon meat, and the Dragon Scale is the material for the Dragon Scale armor set.

Loot and drops

Pack changes add Butchery loot to the vanilla-mapped chests of structure mods, so the items in the table above also appear in chests in the pack's structures. Two global loot modifiers also add smithing templates: a Dragon Smithing Template to end city treasure chests and a Warden Smithing Template to ancient city chests.

The Vindicator Butcher's House is a surface structure that generates in birch forest, dark forest, plains, savanna, swamp and wooded badlands biomes.

Usage

Bleeding

A carcass is hung on a Hook block. Right-clicking it with a knife or cleaver in the main hand starts bleeding. A bleeding carcass runs for 900 ticks (45 seconds) by default. The Instant Bleeding option, which is off by default, skips the timer. While it bleeds, the blood goes into a Blood Grate below the carcass if one is present. Otherwise a Blood Puddle block forms, when the Blood Puddle option is on (default). When the timer ends, the carcass turns into its drained variant, for example a Drained Cow Carcass. See Blood for the blood fluid and its variants.

Cutting up

A drained carcass on a hook is cut up by right-clicking it with a cleaver or skinning knife in the main hand. Each cut rolls drops from the carcass's cut-up loot table. Looting applies to these rolls when the Looting Enchantment option is on (default). The Organs option (default on) adds organ items to the drops. See Butchering for the tools and Butchery Meats and Organs for the outputs. Farmer's Delight knives can also cut carcasses when the Farmer's Delight integration option is enabled, which is off by default.

Skins

Skins from carcasses can be placed on a Skin Rack. A skin dries for 1800 ticks by default, then turns into leather. Each retrieval from the rack yields 2 leather by default (Skin Rack Yield). See Skins, Furs and Pelts.

Acid

Acid bottles can be used on carcasses, which consumes the bottle and plays the acid sound.

Magic Wishbone

Chicken carcasses have a chance to yield a Wishbone, set by Wishbone Chance (default 0.25). Breaking a Magic Wishbone picks one of 23 outcomes at random. The outcomes include zombie swarms, TNT and a loot roll. See Wishbones.

Crafting ingredient

Cod Carcass and Salmon Carcass are used in barrel recipes: eight of either carcass combined with a Barrel make a Barrel of Cod or a Barrel of Salmon. The full list of recipes that use each carcass is below.

Note: Butchery's carcass and corpse blocks share several display names, such as "Fox Carcass" for both the fox and snow fox variants. The item ids in the table are the reliable identifiers.

Tips

  • Carry a cleaver, or enchant a weapon with Butcher's Touch, before fighting mobs that should leave carcasses. Without one, the kill leaves only the vanilla drops.
  • Place a Blood Grate under the hook before bleeding a carcass if the blood should be collected rather than left as a puddle.
  • Turn off Organs or Looting Enchantment in the config to change the cut-up yield.
