Restock Chest
by sidbro
Restock Chest lets server owners set chests to refill automatically on a timer, so loot containers in a world are not emptied for good.
What it does
Once a chest is registered, it refills from its loot table at an interval the server sets. Support for vanilla custom loot tables means the refill can draw from the same tables the world already uses. A single registration can cover several containers inside a chosen radius, so a whole room or cave can be set up in one step.
Each registered chest keeps its own timer, and the timer can be changed after registration without re-registering the chest. A selected container can be restocked on demand, and the information screen reports the state of registered chests. Nearby registered chests are highlighted with colored markers, which shows which ones belong to the set. Registration data is saved, so the setup survives server restarts.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is built for NeoForge and published for 1.21.1 only, under the Apache License 2.0, which is not an open source license.
Key features
Automatic chest restocking
Registered chests refill on their own timer, so loot does not run out once it has been taken.
Radius registration
One registration can cover multiple containers within a set radius, speeding up setup for large areas.
Adjustable restock timer
The timer of a registered chest can be changed later, without registering it again.
Force restock and highlights
A chosen container can be refilled immediately, and nearby registered chests are marked with colored visuals.

Use cases
Dungeon and loot room upkeep
A server owner can register every chest in a dungeon at once so the rooms refill between visits.
Survival chest management
Storage or supply chests can be set to restock at a steady pace, which keeps early game loot available.
Who it’s for: Server owners who run NeoForge 1.21.1 and want containers that refill on a schedule, with changes that persist across restarts.
How it compares
Trial Vault Restock is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and published for Fabric 1.20.6 – 1.21.1, so it does not run on NeoForge. SlashLoot is server-side only, covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge 1.20.1 – 26.3, and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Restock Chest does not target those loaders or versions at all, and it is not open source.
