I want to create a Datapack. My goal is to drop more than one items when destroying a block in Minecraft.
For example: When I destroy a grass-block it drops default One dirt-block. But I want (for example) 10 dirt blocks get dropped when I destroy a grass block.
How do I achieve this?
Many thanks for your help! :)
Use loot tables. For your example, save this as data_pack_name/data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks/grass_block.json.
{
"type": "block",
"pools": [
{
"rolls": 1,
"entries": [
{
"type": "item",
"name": "dirt",
"functions": [
{
"function": "set_count",
"count": 10
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
However, that would also remove the ability to get a grass block using Silk Touch.
For more detailed information, see the wiki.
blocks folder in loot_tables. I updated the file name in my answer. Try that and see if that works.

As I said in the comments, I'm not an expert in datapacks at all, but just from looking at the wiki and the Vanilla loot tables I've created a datapack that works.
Folder structure:
saves
└<world_name>
└datapacks
└<datapack_name>
├pack.mcmeta
└data
└minecraft
└loot_tables
└blocks
└grass_block.json
Contents of pack.mcmeta:
{"pack":{"pack_format":3,"description":""}}
Contents of grass_block.json:
{
"type": "minecraft:block",
"pools": [
{
"rolls": 1,
"entries": [
{
"type": "minecraft:alternatives",
"children": [
{
"type": "minecraft:item",
"conditions": [
{
"condition": "minecraft:match_tool",
"predicate": {
"enchantments": [
{
"enchantment": "minecraft:silk_touch",
"levels": {
"min": 1
}
}
]
}
}
],
"name": "minecraft:grass_block"
},
{
"type": "minecraft:item",
"conditions": [
{
"condition": "minecraft:survives_explosion"
}
],
"name": "minecraft:dirt",
"functions":[
{
"function": "minecraft:set_count",
"count": {
"min": 10.0,
"max": 10.0
}
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
This is likely way more than you actually need, but it works. Going from there you can experiment with leaving stuff out and seeing what breaks it or not. (And please tell me then!)
