Loot Chests
by Darkhax
Loot Chests is a Forge storage mod for players who want chests that already hold items from a predefined loot table when they are first found.
What it does
Chests placed by the mod contain a loot table that is filled when the chest is generated, so the contents are set before a player opens it. Loot tables can be user defined, and the mod provides a map maker utility that places predefined loot chests into a world.
Blocks and items from the mod sit in their own creative tab, which includes a search bar to help locate entries. Wooden variants and several chest designs are included. Worlds that contain custom chests keep working as normal chests after the mod is uninstalled, and the mod lists Vanilla compatibility along with support for Quark and Dark Utilities.
Loot Chests is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.10.2. The latest file is 1.0.0.4, released 2023-06-07 on the alpha channel, and the mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, which makes it not open source.
