GimmeRandomItems
GimmeRandomItems gives a random item to each player at a set interval, for servers that want a steady flow of surprise loot.
What it does
Once the server starts, the mod hands out a random item on a timer. The default interval is 5 seconds, and the run randomitems rate command changes it in Minecraft ticks, so the gap between items can be shortened or stretched. A bossbar counts down the time left until the next item arrives, so players can see when the next one is due.
The random pool is drawn from Minecraft's internal item list, and items added by other mods that register them are included as well. A player whose inventory is full does not lose the item, and nothing is dropped on the ground. Activating the start option requires operator permissions or cheats, which keeps the feature in the hands of server staff.
The mod needs Fabric API and is published for Fabric and Quilt. Its latest files target 1.21.11 only, and it runs on the server alone, so players join without installing it. The code is licensed under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source.

Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who want a timed random item feed. Players on the server need nothing installed, since the mod runs on the server alone.
How it compares

BlockDropRandomizer targets 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric under the MIT License, and changes drops instead of timing items. randomitems-mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 that runs on both client and server under the MIT License.
