Random Looting

by Viola-Siemens

With Random Looting installed on a server, the loot tables that drop items from blocks, mobs and chests get reshuffled so that a wither can drop wheat seeds and breaking oak can yield diamonds.

What it does

Random Looting reshuffles loot tables using a salt value that the server owner sets, and it can also restore the loot tables to their normal state. The server can reshuffle recipes on a timer every set number of seconds, and a whitelist of recipe types and recipe IDs controls which recipes are affected. Settings are changed by editing the config file. Required dependencies are Fabric API and Forge Config API Port. Only the server needs it; players can join without installing it. The code is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only, so it is open source.

Key features

  1. Reshuffled loot tables

    A salt value reshuffles the loot tables, so drops from blocks and mobs no longer match the vanilla results.

  2. Timed recipe reshuffle

    The server can reshuffle recipes every set number of seconds, limited to chosen recipe types and IDs.

  3. Restore normal loot

    Loot tables can be returned to their normal state at any time, with no reinstall needed.

What the author says

All loot tables are messed up by this mod. You may be able to get a wheat seed after killing a wither, or get diamonds after breaking oak logs.
