Random Block Bounty
by k1nghatred
Random Block Bounty turns every broken block into a random item drop, so a single mined block can yield anything from a torch to a netherite piece.
What it does
Breaking a block gives a completely random item, drawn from a large pool of possible drops. Each playthrough starts with a different sequence of results, so no two worlds play the same way. A player might craft a full netherite armor set within minutes, then spend half an hour searching for one torch the next day. Resource gathering stops being predictable, and the usual progression is replaced with pure chance.
The mod is built for mixed groups and servers. Players sharing a world can race while one receives an elytra from sand and another receives a stick from a diamond block. Installing it into a modpack turns the pack into a gamble, and it fits Skyblock-style or hardcore adventure runs that drop ordinary playstyles. It is published for Forge on 1.16.5, 1.18.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest file. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Random drop on block break
Each broken block yields one item chosen at random from a broad pool of possible drops.
Replayable randomness
Results differ from one world to the next, so the sequence of found items changes every playthrough.
Multiplayer race play
Players on one server receive unrelated items from the same kind of block, which creates races and comparisons.
Modpack integration
Once added, the random drop system applies across the whole pack, changing how every block is harvested.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Skyblock runs
On a small island, every block becomes a source of random loot, so early progress depends on luck.
Group races
Friends on a shared server compete to reach a goal, where the random drops decide who gets ahead.
Who it’s for: Players who want survival or adventure play without a fixed progression path, and server owners who run randomized or competitive worlds.
How it compares
Bounty Craft runs on Forge for 1.20.1 and needs both client and server, so it shares this mod's environment. RandomDropMod is server-side only under the MIT License, so players join without installing it, while Manhunter is server-side only, covered by All rights reserved, and needs nothing on the client.
