LuckyLootChest
by YTGLD
Luck-based loot chests from YTGLD, a Forge and NeoForge mod in which the player's Luck attribute changes how many items a chest adds, and which caps duplicate stacks.
What it does
When a player opens a loot chest, the number of extra items added to the loot table rises with that player's Luck attribute. Each point of Luck above zero can add one more item, up to a limit of 10 extra items. The loot tables and related settings can be adjusted in the mod's configuration.
The mod also limits repeated items: a chest does not hand out duplicate entries of non-stackable items, which reduces the number of unstackable items that flood a single chest. Server owners can change the maximum item count and the other values to suit their world.
Files exist for Forge and NeoForge only, for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Luck-scaled loot
The number of extra items in a chest grows with the opening player's Luck attribute, one item per point up to 10.
Configurable loot tables
Loot tables and limits are set in the configuration, so server owners can tune the chance and size of rewards.
Duplicate stack limit
Non-stackable items are kept from appearing as repeated entries, which reduces large piles of unstackable gear in one chest.
Adjustable maximum
The highest number of items a chest can add is a setting, allowing a cap that fits the world's balance.

Use cases
Rewarding skilled players
Servers that raise the Luck attribute through other means can give those players larger chest rewards.
Balancing loot on multiplayer servers
A cap on unstackable duplicates keeps chest contents readable for every player on a shared server.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want Luck to matter for loot, and players on Forge or NeoForge servers who use the Luck attribute.
