Schrodingers Chest
by Qwatrum
Schrodingers Chest is a Fabric magic mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 whose chests, staff and relic items change their contents when opened or used.
What it does
Right-clicking an unlooted structure chest lets the player change its loot while keeping the loot table, so the result stays inside the same kind of reward. A trapped chest holding one item can be replaced with a random item instead. Some of the new items carry a cost: using a relic can cause unexpected damage to the player.
The mod centres on the Schrödinger's Staff, described as a tool for manipulating loot. Relic items are crafted from a mysterious resource and serve as the base for three new weapons and tools: a relic axe, a relic pickaxe and a relic sword. Their material is part of the surprise, since a crafted piece can turn out to be made of something unexpected.
The mod also adds Schrödinger's Cat and Schrödinger's Breakfast, a meal with 10 random effects, along with custom textures for the new items. It is open source under the MIT License, is client and server, and is published for Fabric on 1.21.1 only, with the latest file dated 2024-12-07.
Key features
Loot-changing staff
The Schrödinger's Staff rewrites chest contents, both unlooted structure chests and trapped chests holding one item.
Relic items and gear
Relic items are a crafting ingredient for quantum-themed gear, and three weapons and tools use them.
Random breakfast
Schrödinger's Breakfast is a meal that applies one of 10 random effects when eaten.
Custom item designs

Inspired by Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, this mod asks one crucial question: Why settle for Schrödinger's Cat when you can have Schrödinger's Chest? Made for Minecraft 1.21.1 & Fabric Mod Loader.
