Better Loot Zibura
by zibura
Better Loot Zibura changes the items in vanilla and modded structure chests, so loot matches the mods that a world has installed.
What it does
Rather than adding new items of its own, the mod redistributes vanilla and modded items among loot chests where they naturally belong. It improves loot in several vanilla structures, including village and pillager-related buildings, towns, towers, dungeons, taverns and roadside structures.
Items from a mod only appear when that mod is installed, so a world with Farmer's Delight alone gets Farmer's Delight food and nothing from mods that are absent. Compatible content includes Kaleidoscope Cookery, Farmer's Delight, Crate Delight, Let's Bakery, Fruits Delight, Butchery Byproducts, Cutting Tools, Stonemason Tools and Farm Charm, among others. The mod works in single-player and on servers, where it runs server-side only, so players need nothing extra.
The mod requires Polymorph. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with 2.1.0 as the latest file for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, under the MIT License. It is not open source.
Key features
Vanilla loot redistribution
Vanilla items are moved into the chests where they fit, for example tools in toolsmith chests and food in kitchen chests.
Modded item placement
Items from installed mods are placed in loot chests matching their category, such as raw meats, baking ingredients or wood materials.
Village and dungeon structures
Loot in villages, pillager outposts, towns, towers, taverns and dungeons is updated, including several structure mods listed as compatible.
Server-side operation
Only the server needs the mod, and it changes loot only in structures that generate after it is active.
