📋 About This Mod

Was using Better Train Loot prior to 1. 6, but it has not been updated yet, so I made this mod to make rushing to see those infrequent trains a bit happier.

It adds logical drops to the various cars passing by. For example, cars carrying Hay will drop Hay, cars carrying Coal will drop coal. The special Christmas cars will drop Mystery Boxes!

Leprechaun shoes are still possible at the same rate as vanilla.
