oSzoukaua's: Lucky Blocks

Lucky blocks are crafted from a surrounding set of dispensers and gold blocks, and the luck level of each block depends on what replaces the gold: coal blocks and single diamonds push the value up or down. A block with a higher luck level tends to produce better events, and the mod includes a large number of possible events, from helpful drops to deliberately annoying ones. Lucky beacons are also included, where a Lucky block placed on top of a powered beacon changes what it can produce.

The datapack was created by oSzoukaua as an original take on the Lucky Blocks concept, and the author takes credit for the idea. It was built with commands and is optimized for smooth running. It works through the datapack system, so a resource pack is not needed for its behavior, though the mod does use custom block textures that can be changed. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 license and is not open source.

Only the server needs the datapack to run the events, while players can join with a vanilla client. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, with 1.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build, and a data pack form is also offered for server platforms. The mod covers the 1.20 – 1.20.1 range.
