Typical reasons for no loot drops:

  1. Killing mobs with environmental damage - Mobs that mostly die to fire, fall damage etc will drop no loot. To be sure, check if the damage is throwing off Mine and Slash damage number particles.
  2. Killing too many mobs in the same place. This triggers the Anti Mob Farm mod penalty.
  3. Killing mobs inside a mob grinder (Anti mob farm mod again)
