If you could find an add-on that makes it so you can sift zinc out of gravel, sand, etc then you would have no problem getting to brass and a lot of the game is just locked behind the crushing wheel so after you get that I'm sure you would have some way or another to get through the rest of the game.

Hi, I made it so zombies drop zinc ingots, I don't have a lot of time and knowledge to figure out how to make this work with sieves, but I've attached the datapack to this if you're interested.

Also, zombies ONLY drop zinc ingots, I don't know how to make them drop the default stuff, I have no knowledge of datapack creation and it took me like 20 minutes of googling to make this work.

You can also just create the zinc ingots in crafting with 1 iron + 1 copper ingot = 2 zinc ingots ZincDrops.zip

Hello, I'm the developer of Create: Bamboo Island" and "... Sky", the coincidence ;-)

To add custom drops to loot tables, all you need to do is take the original loot table from the minecrafts jar file (rename it to zip and unzip) and add some entries or pools.

Here are two of my suggestions: 1: ZincDrops_1.zip This adds another entry of zinc drops to the loot pool of iron drops, carrots and baked potatoes. This means that a zombie can only drop one of these items. Other drops such as Rotten Flesh are independent of this.

2: ZincDrops_2.zip This second one adds another loot pool with only one zinc ingot. Now zombies will always drop a Zinc Ingot along with their other drops.

Personally, I would prefer number one because it makes the propability of the zinc ingot the same as the iron ingot, making it more vanilla friendly. Another idea I had was to have Husks drop Zinc Ingots instead of Iron. Then every zombie variant (including zombie piglins!) can drop their own ingot.
