Vanilla Loot+
Vanilla Loot+ changes the treasure in naturally generated chests, adding unique items and a new armor set to the loot tables that vanilla structures already use.
What it does
The mod is a data pack, so its loot changes come from tables that the game reads when a chest is opened. Where vanilla chests hold common gear, the pack swaps in nine new unique items and one new armor set, and it adds more than twelve items across the loot tables. Each unique item is assigned to specific structures and areas, which makes a find in one place different from a find somewhere else.
The pack targets the vanilla structures that already hold chests: abandoned mineshafts, simple dungeons, stronghold corridors, strongholds and their libraries, buried treasure and desert pyramids. Players exploring a world meet the same structures as before, with a different set of rewards inside them. Servers can run it to change the loot without adding new structures or blocks.
Installation needs a loader for the environment. The server is required and the client is optional, so players can join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, all for 1.21.4, and the code is not open source. The license is All rights reserved.
