Lootery

Lootery is a data pack that implements various changes to Minecraft's default loot tables. These modifications serve several purposes: balancing rewards, increasing exploration interest, and simply adding logic to obtained items.

Changes to Chest Contents

The modification affects chests for different reasons:

Gameplay Balancing - structures like buried treasures and shipwrecks previously provided overly generous rewards for early game stages when they're typically found.

Enhanced Realism - ruined portals contain additional obsidian for reconstruction, ocean ruins feature kelp and seagrass, while villages include torches and food. Such logical changes apply to most chests.

Exploration Incentive - rare structures now contain significantly more valuable loot, compensating for their scarcity. Rewards in woodland mansions, pillager outposts, and jungle temples have been substantially boosted.

Simplified Acquisition - primary example: increased probability of finding smithing templates in chests. Silence template now generates with 10% chance instead of previous 1.2%, while decorative trims in rare structures are guaranteed.

Changes to Entity Drops

• Ghasts drop up to 4 tears simultaneously, as these mobs are too rare for just one tear
• Blazes have a chance to yield additional blaze powder or glowstone dust
• Shulkers are allowed to drop both of their shells instead of one mysteriously disappearing
• Drowned may drop prismarine shards
• Husks sometimes leave sand behind
• Withers provide significantly more coal, soul sand, and soul soil
• Piglins drop gold nuggets and ingots with the same probability as zombified piglins
• Wandering traders leave 2-6 emeralds upon death
• Villagers and zombie villagers occasionally drop sticks, wheat seeds, or rarely - emeralds

Other Changes

• Tamed cats more frequently bring phantom membranes in the morning
• Sniffers have 50% chance to dig up extra seeds
• Piglins have expanded bartering item selection, including ribs and netherite upgrade smithing templates
