Loot Bag
by Karashok-Leo
With Loot Bag, a bag item holds loot tables that a player opens in game, and the contents are set by datapack instead of config files.
What it does
Loot Bag adds bags that roll a loot table when opened. Each bag item stores its loot data in its NBT tag, so bags of the same kind stack as one item. A bag can hold a single set of loot, several sets from which the player picks one, or several sets from which one is drawn at random. Right clicking opens a preview screen, and sneaking while right clicking opens the bag directly. The mod is configured through datapacks rather than config files, and a developer can generate datapack entries with a provider class included in the mod.
The mod was rewritten in a later release, and its changes are listed on the project page. The loot bag now uses a new item so that some operations, such as vanilla recipes, can accommodate it, and output supports writing NBT items. Earlier builds relied on the BRRP dependency, which the author describes as a costly choice; the current build requires only Fabric API. The mod is open source under the MIT License, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.

Use cases
Modpack loot
Pack makers can define their own bag types, which suits modpacks that hand out rewards from chests or quest systems.
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and datapack creators who want loot bags with their own contents. The mod is designed for modpacks and needs no config file edits, since bags are defined in datapacks.

In version 1.2.0 I rewrote almost the entire mod. What's different from before? 1. The mod now no longer depends on any other dependency mod other than the fabric api. 2. It is now configured via datapack instead of config files. (Don't update if you're not ready to rewrite the config file as a datapack!) 3. Every…
