Chance Globe
by bl4ckscor3
Chance Globe is a block that, once placed, turns into a random block or item from a list after a short delay, so players can open it like a loot box.
What it does
Placing a Chance Globe spawns a random block item from the available blocks and items, and after about 10 seconds the globe gives the player the chosen block or drops the matching item. Results are based purely on chance, so a player may receive something useful or something like a stick or dirt block, and rare results such as a nether star or a diamond block are possible.
The mod includes filter lists for blocks and items, identified by registry names such as minecraft:grass or minecraft:stick. Filtering can be switched on or off, and it works in two modes: a blacklist that excludes the listed entries, or a whitelist that limits results to them. The default lists are set to a blacklist and contain entries such as bedrock, command blocks and barriers, so those do not appear by default.
Chance Globe is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 36 release versions, 1.12.2 – 26.3, and is released under the MIT License, so it is open source. The server and every player need the mod installed. Its 1.19.3 content, including the plank and glass types, is part of experimental datapacks and is only available when the matching datapack is enabled.
