Unidentified Items

by KevzCz

Unidentified Items changes ordinary loot so that drops arrive as unidentified gear, which a player reveals later with Identify Scrolls.

What it does

Loot tables for chosen items can drop them in an unidentified state. The mod lets a server owner choose the exact item IDs or tags that are eligible, and set the chance for each one to roll as unidentified. Its settings also allow the feature to be turned off entirely.

An Identify Scroll reveals the true form of an unidentified item. Using a scroll on an item in the inventory restores its original tier name, so the item shows what it really is. The mod works with Tiered and Tiered More, which provide the tier names the reveal restores.

The mod runs on Fabric for 1.21.1 and needs both the server and every player to have it installed. It is open source under the MIT License, and the source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Unidentified loot tables

    Loot tables for selected items can drop them in an unidentified state, so found gear starts out hidden.

  2. Identify Scrolls

    Scrolls reveal an unidentified item when used on it in the inventory, restoring its original tier name.

  3. Configurable drop chance

    Each eligible item or tag has its own chance to roll as unidentified, set by the server owner.

  4. Selectable item list

    Only the specific item IDs and tags listed in the settings can become unidentified, and the feature can be disabled.

Use cases

Mysterious loot on servers

Server owners can make certain drops uncertain, so players must use a scroll before knowing what they found.

Tiered gear progression

Paired with Tiered or Tiered More, unidentified drops reveal their tier only after the scroll is applied.

Who it’s for: Players and server owners who want found equipment to stay hidden until it is identified. The mod suits adventure playthroughs where loot is part of the exploration.

Questions

Does Unidentified Items need to be installed on the server?

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

Which loader does Unidentified Items use?

The mod is published for Fabric only, with a latest file of 1.0.1 for 1.21.1, so it needs Fabric to run.

Can the chance of an item being unidentified be changed?

Yes. A server owner can switch the feature on or off, adjust how often unidentified loot appears, and name the exact item IDs or tags that qualify.
