Lootr Bigger Chest
by Fallen__leaf
Lootr Bigger Chest is a Forge utility that enlarges the inventories of Lootr containers beyond the default 27 slots.
What it does
Lootr chests hold 27 slots by default, which can feel small in modpacks where loot tables produce hundreds of items. This mod lets the server owner set a custom row and column count for each container type, with rows from 1 to 20 and columns from 1 to 32. Lootr containers covered by the mod include chests, barrels, shulker boxes and chest minecarts, and each type can be configured on its own.
Sizes can be fixed for every container, or chosen at random from a weighted pool, which makes each dungeon container a little less predictable. Container dimensions are saved in NBT when the container is first opened, so a container keeps its size across world reloads. A scrollable screen with nine columns adapts to the configured size.
The mod is published for Forge across the game versions listed on its page, and it requires Lootr 0.7.34 or newer. It runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Configurable container sizes
Rows and columns can be set for each Lootr container type, within the limits of 1 to 20 rows and 1 to 32 columns.
Weighted random sizes
Several sizes can be assigned to a container type with weights, so each container may open with a different capacity.
Fixed size mode
A single size can be applied to every container when a consistent capacity is preferred over random sizes.
Persistent dimensions
A container's size is stored when it is first opened and remains the same after the world is reloaded.
Compatibility

Use cases
Who it’s for: Modpack authors and server owners who run Lootr and want container capacity set per container type. Players on those servers also need the mod installed.
How it compares
Column-Quick-Swap is a Forge utility for 1.20.1 – 1.20.6 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and does not change container sizes. Shared Lootr works across Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.12.2 – 26.2 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, and it addresses shared loot rather than container size.

What the author says
Expands all Lootr container inventories beyond the default 27 slots (3x9). If you feel the standard 27-slot Lootr chests are too limiting -- especially in modpacks with hundreds of items -- this mod lets you freely expand them. The random size system also adds an element of surprise to dungeon exploration.
