Pebble's Crate
by lilpebs
Pebble's Crate is a Fabric minigame mod for servers that adds weighted randomiser crates for rewards, vote crates and premium crates.
What it does
Each crate is a weighted random reward table. The server owner sets how likely each loot entry is to be drawn, so common rewards appear more often than rare ones. The same system covers vote crates and premium crates, which suit reward loops on a server.
The mod targets servers rather than players' clients, so players join without installing anything. Its author describes an in-game admin screen for editing loot, along with a converter for configs from AdvancedCrates and a crate config creator that is still a work in progress. Legacy formatting codes are supported in crate text. Files cover 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the latest Fabric build is 1.1.1-1.21.1 for 1.21.1, released on 2024-12-27 on the beta channel.
Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, and Fabric Language Kotlin must be present before the mod will start. The code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so it sits in the public domain, and source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.
Key features
Weighted random loot
Each loot entry in a crate carries a weight, which sets its chance of being drawn relative to the others.
Vote and premium crates
Crates can be set up as vote rewards or premium rewards, with the same weighted tables behind both.
Legacy formatting support
Crate names and messages accept legacy colour and formatting codes, so existing text can be reused.
Config conversion
A converter is planned to bring configs from AdvancedCrates over to this mod's format, reducing manual setup.
In-game loot editing
An admin interface for editing loot inside the game is part of the author's plans, aimed at changing rewards without editing files.
