Deep Mob Learning: Relearned – Best Mob Loot Mod

Deep Mob Learning: Relearned

If you have ever grown tired of standing at a mob farm for hours just to collect a handful of bones, gunpowder, or ender pearls, then Deep Mob Learning: Relearned is the add-on you need in your Minecraft world. This mod is a complete rewrite from scratch of the original DeepMobLearning by xt9 and IterationFunk, designed to be server-friendly and peaceful-compatible. Instead of relying on natural spawns, you train Data Models by defeating monsters, either in the real world or virtually inside a Simulation Chamber, and then convert that knowledge into valuable loot.

What Does Deep Mob Learning: Relearned Do?

At its core, this mod changes how you approach mob loot acquisition. You start by crafting a Deep Learner and at least one Data Model. Insert the Data Model into the Deep Learner and go kill some mobs of the required type to level the model up to at least Basic tier. Once trained, you can place the Data Model into a Simulation Chamber, which will run virtual simulations of those mobs. These simulations produce two types of matter:

• Living Matter – related to the dimension the mob is from, craftable into various loot items.
• Pristine Matter – unique to each Data Model type, used in a Loot Fabricator to produce a choice of loot items.

Higher tier models produce more Pristine Matter, making the grind much more rewarding as you progress. Both the Simulation Chamber and Loot Fabricator require Forge Energy to operate, though this mod does not supply its own power. You will need to hook them up to an external energy source, and both machines can be fully automated with vanilla hoppers or mod-added methods like Thermal Expansion itemducts or EnderIO conduits.

Key Improvements Over the Original Mod

The rewrite was not just about fixing bugs. The developer wanted to add features that would have been difficult, if not impossible, to implement as a modification of the original. Here are the standout changes:

• Fully JSON configurable Data Model types, tiers, and Living Matter types. You can add new types or change existing ones.
• Recipes for data models and Living Matter products are defined in config files, giving pack makers total control.
• Machines are redstone controllable, with modes for always on, on with signal, off with signal, and always off.
• No restrictions on input and output sides. The Simulation Chamber accepts Data Models and Polymer Clay from any side, and outputs Living and Pristine Matter to any side.
• Machine blocks change appearance based on their current state, whether idle, running, or erroring.
• Under-the-hood performance improvements for smoother gameplay.

For players who want to tweak everything, the mod includes a SettingsGuide.txt in the config folder. This guide explains how to modify textures for custom Data Models, add new tiers, and adjust recipes. Default fallback textures will be used if no matching texture files are found, so you will never see a missing texture block.

Supported Versions and Loaders

Currently, Deep Mob Learning: Relearned for Minecraft is built for Minecraft 1.12.2 and runs on the Forge loader. The rewrite was originally intended for the OmniFactory modpack, which uses this version. The developer has stated that once this version is finished, a 1.16 version is planned, but there will be no 1.13, 1.14, or 1.15 versions. If you are playing on 1.12.2 with Forge, you are in the perfect spot to use this mod.

Out-of-the-Box Mod Support

The default config already includes Data Models and Living Matter for several popular mods. This means you can start farming loot from these mods without any extra setup:

• Thermal Foundation – one combined Data Model for Thermal Elementals (Blizz, Blitz, and Basalz).
• Twilight Forest – Twilight Matter with four categories of mobs: Forest, Swamp, Darkwood, and Glacier.
• Tinkers' Construct – Blue Slime.
• Matter Overdrive – Rogue Android.

How to Install Deep Mob Learning: Relearned

Installing this mod is straightforward, but because it is currently in beta, you should always back up your world before making any changes. The mod uses the same item and block registry names as the original DeepMobLearning, so in-place updating is possible. Here is the recommended process for how to install it properly:

1. Back up your world. Seriously, do not skip this step.
2. Add the new mod jar to your mods folder and remove the old DeepMobLearning jar.
3. Run Minecraft once without opening your world to generate the new config files in config/dml_relearned/.
4. Manually copy any changes you made to the original config into the new files.
5. Delete the old config file, as it is no longer used.
6. Restart Minecraft, load your world, and re-set all your Loot Fabricators' outputs once.

Note that Forge may complain on the first world load that you "downgraded" your mod because the version number is currently lower than the original. This warning can safely be ignored. If you want a hassle-free experience, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Deep Mob Learning: Relearned, so you can skip the manual config copying and get straight into the action. The launcher also handles version compatibility checks, ensuring you always have the right Forge version for this mod.

What About the Blood Magic Addon?

Unfortunately, the Deep Mob Learning – Blood Magic Addon is not compatible with this rewrite. The developer has not decided whether a new version of the addon will be made. This means that for now, you cannot use this mod together with that specific addon. Keep this in mind if your modpack relies on that integration.

Current Beta Status and Known Limitations

This mod is currently in beta, which means there will probably be bugs. Do not use it on an important world that you do not have a backup of. The major missing features include JEI integration, specifically the Loot Fabricator recipes in JEI, and Trials are only partially done. The blocks and items for Trials are present so your old ones will not get deleted, but not all functionality has been implemented. It is recommended not to use any Trial-related stuff until completed, as you may encounter bugs. This includes all Trial-specific entities, which Forge will complain about when loading a world saved with the original DML. Do not update a world from the original DML that currently has a Trial running, as things will break.

Final Thoughts

Deep Mob Learning: Relearned is a fantastic evolution of a beloved mod. It takes the core concept of training Data Models and expands it with deep configuration options, better automation support, and improved performance. While the beta status means you should tread carefully, the potential for creating a fully automated, peaceful-compatible mob loot system is enormous. Whether you are a modpack developer looking for a customizable framework or a player who just wants to skip the grind, this mod delivers. To get started, simply download Deep Mob Learning: Relearned from a trusted source, follow the installation steps, and enjoy a new way to farm loot in Minecraft. And if you prefer a more streamlined approach, the foxygame.net launcher keeps Deep Mob Learning: Relearned updated automatically, so you never have to worry about missing a patch or dealing with version mismatches again. Happy simulating.
