New in Box!

by ssblur

New in Box! lets players collect toys by opening boxes, with the crafted box itself holding a surprise inside.

What it does

Crafting a box from paper, glass and diamond gives a container that holds a toy. The mod is a toybox in spirit: collectibles arrive without the cost normally tied to them. It needs Fabric API and Unfocused, and it runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, for 1.21.8 only, and the code is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Boxes with toys inside

    Each box can hold a small toy, so opening one is a small reward in its own right.

  2. Crafted from common materials

    A box is made from paper, glass and diamond, so the first one is within reach early in survival.

  3. Collectible toys

    Toys gathered from boxes can be kept as collectibles without any purchase or trade.
