How It Works
When Minecraft loads a loot table for a structure:
The mod checks if the structure matches a rarity category
If it matches, a loot box is injected into the chest
When opened, the loot box:
- consumes itself
- gives a random reward from its pool
- plays a sound and animation
Each box uses its own item pool, meaning rewards are consistent with its rarity.
Enchantments
Higher-tier loot boxes can generate:
- randomly enchanted tools
- enchanted armor
- multi-enchantment combinations
Enchantments are applied dynamically, making each reward feel unique.
Visual & Audio Feedback
Opening a loot box triggers:
- a floating item animation (like a totem effect)
- a custom opening sound
This gives clear feedback and makes rewards feel impactful.
Integration
The mod integrates directly into vanilla loot tables No configuration required — everything works out of the box.
Summary
Bed's LootBoxes enhances exploration by adding:
- meaningful rewards
- rarity progression
- replayable loot mechanics
It keeps vanilla balance while making every chest feel more exciting.
