Classic Lucky Blocks
by Galeboy
Classic Lucky Blocks adds lucky blocks styled after the classic Minecraft edition, which drop a random item when broken.
What it does
Lucky blocks can generate naturally in the world, mixed with unlucky and normal blocks. Breaking one with a pickaxe or an explosion yields one of about 100 random drops. A lucky block can be crafted from 8 gold ingredients around a dropper, and crafting one always gives a normal lucky block, so the random outcome only comes from breaking it.
The mod also adds some new items, including lucky and unlucky potions, a lucky sword and a lucky bow, along with maxed-out enchanted items. It is a server mod: only the server needs it, while players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.20.5, 1.20.6 and 1.21, with 1+mod for 1.21 as the latest release. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Lucky Blocks World Add-on is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, is server required with client optional, and covers 1.21 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. Epic Lucky Blocks is a client and server mod for Forge and NeoForge, released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license and built for 1.20.1 – 1.21.8. Classic Lucky Blocks covers only 1.20.5 – 1.21, so the choice depends on which versions a server runs.
