NoDropDrowned

🧟 This is a lightweight Forge utility mod that cancels item drops when a zombie transforms into a drowned.

💥 Purpose:
It fixes a duplication exploit where zombies with equipment drop items upon turning into drowned, which can be abused especially when combined with infection-based mods like “The Hordes”.

⚙️ Use Case:
In mods such as “The Hordes”, infected players may die and turn into zombies, keeping their full inventory. If those zombies convert into drowned, the loot gets duplicated. This mod prevents that by canceling item drops during the transformation.

✔️ Features:
– Prevents item drops during zombie → drowned conversion
– Keeps the transformation itself intact
– No config, no dependencies
– Safe to install on multiplayer servers
– Server-side only (clients don’t need to install)

🧩 Works as a compatibility fix / addon for The Hordes and similar infection-based mods.
