TOP most useful mob drop items in Minecraft 1.18

Most mobs in Minecraft drop items when killed. Some mobs drop food, while others are crafting materials. Players can refer to All items dropped from mobs in Minecraft for more details.

In rare cases, certain mobs can even drop the equipment they were wearing when they died. Although most items dropped from mobs (mob drops) are not useful, there are some valuable ones among them. In this article, let's explore the TOP of the most useful mob drop items in Minecraft 1.18.

Ender Pearl

When thrown, the Ender Pearl teleports the user to where it lands. This is useful in overcoming obstacles or escaping dangerous situations. On some terrain such as steep cliffs or the vicinity, the player must throw it carefully or risk taking damage when falling.

This is a very important item that players need to carry with them at all times when exploring the End. While falling into the void, gamers can throw an Ender Pearl onto the surface of a block to teleport and survive. The Ender Pearl can be collected from the endless waves of Endermen in this space.

Blaze Rod

The Blaze Rod is another item needed to craft the Eye of Ender. Without it, players cannot progress further in Minecraft. The Blaze Rod is dropped from a hostile mob in the Nether called Blaze, commonly found in Nether fortresses.

Blaze Powder can be obtained from Blaze Rod, which is the main ingredient for fueling breweries and crafting power-ups.

Music Disc

A Music Disc is a unique item that can be played in a jukebox. When killed by any Skeleton or Stray (or Wither Skeleton if using a command), the Creeper will drop a random music disc in addition to its usual items. Exceptions include the latest discs (Pigstep, otheride and 5).

Gunpowder

Gunpowder is an item used for crafting recipes that involve exploding. Players can use it to craft Splash Potion, craft fireworks, and TNT.

Gunpowder is actually quite rare. They can only appear in chests or mob drops and cannot be crafted. Gamers can get them from the following mobs:

1. Creeper: Drops 0-2 pieces of gunpowder upon death. Loot can increase by one capsule per level, with a maximum of 5 Gunpowders.
2. Ghast: drops 0-2 shards of gunpowder upon death. Loot can increase by one capsule per level, with a maximum of 5 Gunpowders.
3. Witch: drops 0-6 pieces of gunpowder upon death. Loot can increase by one capsule per level, with a maximum of 15 Gunpowders.

In addition to mob drops, players can also obtain Gunpowder from wandering merchants (17% chance for 1 Gunpowder), open chests in desert temples or chests in dungeons (60% chance of getting 1- 8 Gunpowder).
