Server Friendly Looting

by ShyNieke

Server Friendly Looting changes how loot reaches players, aiming to keep new arrivals on a server from being left behind by players who explored earlier.

What it does

The mod adds loot sources intended to suit multiplayer servers, where players who joined later often find that older players have already claimed the most valuable rewards. A Mimic chest with its own loot table can be placed in a chosen dimension and biome, and the items it drops can be changed with CraftTweaker. Elder Guardians are also part of the loot changes. It is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Builds exist for 1.16.5 – 26.1 on Forge and NeoForge, and the mod is open source under the MIT License, with CraftTweaker optional.

Key features

  1. Mimic loot chest

    A Mimic drop chest with its own loot table can be placed in a chosen dimension and biome.

  2. Editable Mimic drops

    Loot tables for Mimic drops can be changed through CraftTweaker scripts.

  3. Elder Guardian loot

    Elder Guardians are included in the loot changes, giving newer players another route to rewards.

Questions

Does Server Friendly Looting need CraftTweaker?

No. CraftTweaker is optional and is only needed to change the loot tables of Mimic drops.

Does the server need the mod?

Yes. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too.

What the author says

This mod aims to make looting more friendly towards servers so that new players don't get punished for the exploration of other players. Currently the mod adds Mimic's to the game which can drop a chest loot table item that is available in that dimension.
