Loot Table Manager
Loot Table Manager lets server owners and modpack creators set the loot that a block holds, on blocks from vanilla and from other installed mods alike.
What it does
Each block gets a JSON loot table named exactly after its block ID, such as mcwfurnitures:acacia_bookshelf. The file controls which items appear inside the block, for example books, paper or rare items. Weights set how likely each item is, and rolls set how many items are picked per interaction. Counts and other item settings can be tuned the same way, so the result needs no datapack code changes.
A separate dedicated JSON file controls respawn. Each block has its own cooldown in seconds before its loot regenerates. The author gives examples of 180 loot respawns after 3 minutes and 120 after 2 minutes. This stops infinite farming and keeps survival, RPG and roleplay servers balanced. The configuration is simple and clean JSON.
The mod runs on Forge and is published in six release versions for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6. Both the client and the server need it. It is not open source and is licensed as All rights reserved. The latest Forge file is 1.1.0 for 1.20.6, released on 2026-01-05.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack creators who want control over loot generation without writing datapacks. Players only need the mod when it is installed on their client as well.
How it compares
More Vanilla Drawers is a Forge storage mod for 1.20.1, released under the MIT License and open source. Loot Table Wand is open source under the MIT License and supports Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1. VisualKube is client-side only and is not open source, so it does not change server loot. Loot Table Manager runs on both sides across the same range.
