[HELP] Overriding Entity#drops doesn't remove base mob drops

[gray dragon]

I'm currently creating a custom entity that extends a Zombie I'm trying to have it have a custom drop (Removing it's previous Zombie Flesh drop) and I'm using this.drops = new ArrayList<ItemStack>();

Past attempts at fixing (Failed):

• Setting this.drops = null; before changing.

• Setting this.lootTable = null;.

• Overriding Zombie#dropCustomDeathLoot().

• Overriding Zombie#setGuaranteedDrop().

• Using super.setGuaranteedDrop().

Issue:

• The Zombie Flesh drop still drops when zombie is killed.

[HELP] Overriding Entity#drops doesn't remove base mob drops

[vast jungle]

why using the custom class and not the event for entity death and handle the drops in there?

Because I don't want a custom death event for each custom mob, I'd rather change it completely.

[vast jungle]

well then based in your version you can override methods.. in 1.20.2 the entities has things like shouldDropLoot and nother drop methods for handle all this

[gray dragon]

That's what I'm checking right now but so far everything seems to fail, will get back once I have overridden almost everything related to loot

[vast jungle]

and you debug if the method is being called?

[gray dragon]

yeah

[vast jungle]

maybe the overriden class are not being take and use the "super" the normal zombie

[gray dragon]

alright I'll try that
