Lootr
by noobanidus
Lootr gives every player their own copy of each loot container, so chests, barrels and shulkers hold separate contents for each person who opens them.
What it does
Each container with a loot table, including chests, trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes and minecarts, builds a separate inventory for each player who opens it. Containers look different from vanilla ones and change color from gold to blue once a player has opened them. The author's stated goals are to remove the race to reach structures first and to reduce the need for new chunks by encouraging players to explore structures already generated.
Lootr needs Fabric API on Fabric. Licensed under the MIT License and open source, it runs on both client and server. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files for 26.2 and newer on Fabric and NeoForge, and 1.18.2 as the latest Forge file. Snapshot builds are also published.
Key features
Per-player containers
Each player who opens a loot container sees a separate inventory, so no one finds another player's leftover items.
Distinct appearance
Lootr containers are drawn differently from vanilla chests and barrels, which makes them stand out in a structure.
Opened-state color
A container turns from gold to blue after a player has opened it, showing which ones that player has already looted.
Container coverage
Supported containers include chests, trapped chests, barrels, shulker boxes and minecarts that carry a loot table.
Break warning
By default, breaking a container triggers a warning message that reminds the player each container is available per player.

Use cases
Exploring existing structures
Players have a reason to visit structures already in the world, since each one can be looted by everyone who finds it.
Multiplayer worlds
Groups on a shared server no longer compete to empty the same chests first.
Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want loot chests to stay full for every player in a shared world, and modpack builders who pair Lootr with dungeon or structure mods.
