When im making a loot table and I say an items entry weight to 8 the mob drops it every time I kill it.
So how do I make a mob have only an 8% chance of droping an item?
Make it so there are 2 items
1 has a weight of 2, and the other a weight of 23
make the weight of 2 your 8% drop chance, and the other something random like coal or a self-deleting item.
You can actually do any item and set the maximum count to 0 so it just doesn't drop anything
Item chance to drop depends on weight through formula:
(entry weight) / (total weight from all entries in pool)So for your item to drop with 8% chance, you'd have to make sure that your item's weight to total weight's ratio is 8/100.
So like said by someone above, pick for your item 2 and make another entry with weight 23 and pick to drop air or a self deleting item.
