Lucky Chests
by crypticww
With Lucky Chests installed, opening a chest can release loot, effects or a sudden shower of rewards instead of its usual contents.
What it does
Lucky Chests adds more than 150 events that can occur when a chest is opened, so each opening can end differently from the last. Some outcomes grant useful rewards, while others trigger chaotic effects or dangerous surprises that can completely change the situation around the player. Because the list of possible results is long, two openings of the same chest are rarely identical, which makes every decision to open one a gamble.
The mod is built around the uncertainty of opening a chest: players take a chance without knowing what is inside. It requires Fabric API on Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 26.2, with version 1.0.1 as the latest file. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Over 150 chest events
Each chest opening can trigger one of more than 150 unique events, from useful rewards to unexpected effects.
Treasure Items
Useful loot tumbles out of the chest in a heap, leaving the player with a sturdy stock of items.
Emerald Reward
Gold and emeralds spill from the chest, so the player's inventory picks up valuable materials.
Experience Reward
A generous amount of experience orbs appears, gaining levels without the usual grind.
