How to edit a certain mob's loot table [Creeper w/ Custom Music Disc]

I've created a custom music disc, and I was wondering how you would edit a Creeper's loot table so that it also has a chance to drop music discs when killed by a skeleton. I'm assuming that the loot table of droppable music discs is somehow accessible, though I have no idea how the loot table system works in MCreator.

- thanks, w7n

You don't necessarily need a loot table to do this, but if you want the loot to be random, try binding the code below to a variable, which chooses random number, and depending on what the number is, you're mob will drop:

Bruh, I just realised that you want creepers drop music discs from skeletons...

I think it would be even better, if it would drop when killed by a ghast.

Heres the code: https://ibb.co/yQq8CmJ

Just an FYI, I want to edit the loot table of discs that the Creeper has for getting killed by a skeleton, and I don't want a creeper dropping two discs after getting killed. Is there any way to edit an existing loot table, or is it not possible?

The command:

Do when the disk dropped execute this command: /execute at @e[distance=..3,nbt={Item:{id:"YOURE-ID:YOURE-DISK-NAME"}},limit=1] run kill @e[type=item,distance=..3,nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:music_disc_NAME-HERE"}}]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Execute this command for every 13 disks (minecraft:music_disc_11; minecraft:music_disc_13; minecraft:music_disc_cat; ect.)

====================================================

Much mere simple command here (works almost the same):

/kill @e[type=item,distance=..3,nbt={Item:{id:"minecraft:music_disc_NAME-HERE"}}]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Execute this command for every 13 disks (minecraft:music_disc_11; minecraft:music_disc_13; minecraft:music_disc_cat; ect.)

====================================================

It should work!

Hi! So im trying to do the same, i have imported the songs and want to creepers to drop it when they get killed by a skeleton, by doing it the method you show in the screenshots i get every music disc everytime it gets killed by a skeleton, is there a way to make it random? 
My procedure looks like this: https://ibb.co/znc9W1v

(Also dont pay attention to the images of the discs, they are just memes)
