Current limiting - voltage drop

I would like to explicitly limit current to a few components while keeping voltage within their operating range.

The closest I can get is with a high power mosfet. Supply power 12v 12.5a output 11v ~3a.
Is this a good way of doing this or can I expect lots of heat from the mosfet.

Is their a better way without dropping voltage too low.
