CS2box
by wikkd
CS2box brings Counter-Strike 2 style cosmetic case opening to Minecraft, where a player spends a key to roll random items with rarity tiers.
What it does
Opening a case gives a random item drawn from rarity tiers modeled on the case opening system of Counter-Strike 2, ranging from consumer grade and industrial grade up through mil-spec, restricted and classified. Players can open cases from the inventory and see which item they received. The mod adds the cases and items that the rolls draw from, so the loot box is the core of the content.
Admins and players can obtain a case through the give command, using the csgobox case item identifier, and holding Shift changes how the opening is handled. The mod is built for Forge and NeoForge, and files are published for 1.20.1, 1.21, 1.21.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2 (the 1.20.1 – 26.2 range covers five release versions). Installing it on a server and on every client is required, since the environment is client and server.
The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker publicly available. It was first published on 2026-05-14 and last updated on 2026-09-15, when the latest Forge and NeoForge builds for 26.2 were released as version 2.0.1. Credits in the author text name the mods and tools it draws on, including Reclizer, ChloePrime and CraftTweaker.
Key features
Rarity-tiered case rolls
Each opened case returns an item whose rarity tier is drawn from grades modeled on Counter-Strike 2 case opening.
Classic grade ladder
The tiers run from consumer and industrial grades through mil-spec and restricted up to classified, matching the CS:GO style ranking.
Give command for cases
A give command with the csgobox case identifier hands a case to a player directly, which helps when testing or running events.
Shift-modified opening
Holding Shift while opening a case changes the interaction, so players can handle several cases in a row.
