LootBagsRenewal

The mod consists of eight loot bag types plus three helper machines. Mobs release bags on death, and every bag belongs to one of eight tiers: common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, patient, artificial or bacon. Opening a bag takes a right-click while holding it in either hand, and a higher tier gives a better quality of items. Bags can also be made by crafting, using a value that sets how many bags of the tier below each recipe needs: four common bags make an uncommon bag, and sixteen commons make a rare one. Artificial bags can only be obtained in creative mode, so they cannot be reached by drops or crafting.

The loot itself follows the Minecraft loot table system, so both vanilla loot tables and loot from other mods can appear inside a bag. The Bag Storage Block stores loot bags, the Bag Opener Block opens them automatically from its input slots into its output slots, and the Loot Recycler Block turns items into loot bags. Those machines accept hoppers and pipes from other mods, and the bottom face only outputs while the other faces only accept input.

LootBagsRenewal is a rework of an older loot bag mod for higher Minecraft versions. It runs on NeoForge and requires Kotlin for Forge. The mod is released under the BSD 3-Clause License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.4, with the latest build, 0.1.1.0, covering 1.21.4.
