CoreCrates
by brkstyl
CoreCrates is a Fabric minigame mod for server owners who want customizable crates with weighted, server-managed reward tables.
What it does
Server owners can create crates that each follow their own design, with independent reward probabilities, custom opening visuals and effects. A crate can be made one-time use or limited to a set duration, and specific rewards such as a one-month VIP rank can be attached directly to it. Drop rates are adjustable, so the odds of each reward stay under the owner's control rather than being fixed.
Fabric API is required and must be installed next to CoreCrates. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Builds exist for Fabric across 33 release versions, 1.17 – 26.2, and the latest file, 1.2.1, targets 1.20.1 and was published on 2026-07-12. Administrative commands are restricted to the corecrates.admin permission, and the cc crates command opens the crate menu.
Key features
Custom crate design
Each crate can be built with its own look, so crates on one server do not all share the same design.
Independent reward odds
Probabilities are set per reward inside each crate, giving precise control over how often each item drops.
Custom opening effects
Visual actions and unique opening effects can be chosen for every crate to mark when it is opened.
Limited-duration crates
Crates can be made one-time use or available only for a set period, controlling when players may open them.
Special rewards
Specific custom rewards, such as a timed VIP rank, can be added directly to a crate's reward list.
