MC Randomizer
by ghzdude
MC Randomizer shuffles several parts of Minecraft at once, including items, recipes, drops, structures and mob spawns, for players who want a changed world.
What it does
Randomization covers item rewards, crafting recipes, block drops, mob drops and chest loot, and the placement of generated structures and mob spawns. Each area can change how a world plays, so a familiar setup gives different results. The mod is developed by ghzdude and runs on Forge only.
Because the environment is client and server, the server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Forge across nine release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.10, with 0.10 for 1.21.10 as the latest. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source, although the source code and issue tracker are linked publicly.
Key features
Random item rewards
Items are handed out at random, so the reward a player receives can differ from what the same action gave before.
Randomized recipes
Crafting recipes are shuffled, meaning the ingredients that make an item can change from one world to another.
Randomized drops and loot
Block drops, mob drops and chest loot can be randomized, changing what breaking a block or defeating a mob yields.
Random structures and spawns
Structures can be generated in random places and mob spawns randomized, altering where players find villages and creatures.

Use cases
Changed playthroughs
Players who have finished a standard world can start a new one where recipes and drops no longer match what they remember.
Server events
Server owners can run a randomized season where every player meets the same altered rules.
Who it’s for: Players who want a familiar Minecraft world to play differently, and server owners who run events built around unpredictable rules.
How it compares
Randomized Block & Mob Drops is server-side only and covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1, so players join without installing it. Better Loot Tables is a Forge client and server mod for 1.20.1 and focuses on loot tables. Random Item Generator Resurrected supports Forge and NeoForge for 1.12.2 – 1.21.1 and is also client and server, but it is not open source either.
