Chance Cubes
by TurkeyDev
Opening the mystical blocks of Chance Cubes, a Minigame mod, yields random rewards that can be helpful or devastating.
What it does
Players explore the world and open Chance Cubes blocks to receive random rewards. Some rewards spawn hordes of zombies or death traps, while others build full houses or hand out high-tier items. Each reward carries its own twist. Players can also sacrifice lapis lazuli to craft and obtain these blocks without exploring.
The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge. Both the server and every player need it, because the environment is client and server. Builds cover 1.10.2 – 1.21.1 across nine release versions, with files for 1.20.2 on Forge and 1.21.1 on NeoForge, and the code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so it is open source.
Reward content is defined in a JSON file format, so modpack makers and addon authors can write custom rewards without changing Java code. Source code and an issue tracker are public. The mod also reports the client's mod version to the author, which can be turned off through the HolidayRewards and UserSpecificRewards settings.
