CrateBundles
CrateBundles turns the reward crates of a Fabric server into bundle items that players open by right-clicking, replacing the older crate and key setup.
What it does
Each bundle type is defined in the configuration with its own name, lore, base Minecraft bundle item, optional enchantment glint, and weighted drop chances. Vote crates, legendary crates and similar tiers can each be set up as separate bundle types, and server owners can define as many as they need. Rewards can be items with custom names, lore, NBT data, enchantments and counts, or commands run on the player, and placeholders can be used in them.
When a bundle is opened, a rolling animation shows the rewards before one is chosen. Eight item presentation styles control how items move during the roll, and more than a dozen pane animation styles can be assigned per bundle type. The opening GUI itself has nine structural variants that change the row count and reward placement. Setup happens in game through a GUI, and the file configuration includes a time zone setting. The mod is server-side and works on a server running Fabric, with Paper, Spigot, Bukkit and Purpur also listed as server platforms. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so players join without installing anything.
Key features
Right-click bundle opening
Players open a reward bundle by right-clicking it, which replaces the separate crate and key items.
Weighted reward tables
Each reward has a weight that sets its drop chance, and kit-style bundles can hold several sub-rewards at once.
Animated crate opening
Opening animations include scroll, spiral, sweep and sparkle effects, with styles chosen per bundle type.
In-game GUI management
Bundle types and their rewards can be created and adjusted from an in-game interface without editing files by hand.
