Shardtastic
by braddarzs
Shardtastic adds shard items that players right-click to receive loot drawn from custom loot tables, with rarity-based particles and sounds as feedback.
What it does
Each shard is used by right-clicking it, which rolls a loot table defined for that shard. The rewards are themed rewards obtained through item use, so a player gains loot by using a shard rather than by crafting or trading. Several shard types exist, grouped by theme such as nature and combat, and each comes in weak, normal and strong variants that roll different pools.
Feedback scales with rarity. A rarer result plays different particles and sounds, so the outcome of a roll is visible without reading chat. Loot tables are data-driven, so server owners can change what each shard gives. The mod is built for Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.21.11 only, with version 1.0.2 as the latest file, released under the MIT License. The code is not open source.
