1.18.1 Creating a enchantment like fortune!

[X_ZombieSlayer_X]

Hello all,

I have create an enchantment and have registered it. It is a copy of lootBonusEnchantment(fortune) from vanilla. However it does not seem to have fortune logic applied to it. How would I add this logic to it? My plan is to override the vanilla fortune enchantment to change the logic(server side) only, that way vanilla users can connect and play on my forge server with different fortune drop rates.

Thanks

You have to create your own logic, since vanilla only check if it's the Fortune Enchantment (they don't use a instanceof check).

For a custom logic I would recommend you to use Global Loot Modifier

Can I use the Global Loot Modifier to modify the logic of the vanilla fortune enchantment? If fortune uses a loot table to calculate drops can I just override it?

Is there anyway to use ILootCondition? The docs reference it, but don't have anything on it. Could I use ILootCondition instead of a lootmodifier json?

What. Yes you can. GLM run after all vanilla logic.

...no, the two things are unrelated.

ILootConditions are things that need to be true for loot things to happen. They're conditions, not loot tables or modifiers.

And no, you must use a loot modifier to modify loot.

In theory you could create a fortune-like enchantment and its own ILootCondition and then overwrite every single loot table from every single mod to add your special condition block, but that seems like a lot more work to me. And a lot less compatible.

It doesn't. Also, what if someone else does the same thing you're doing, but different?

Use GLM.

I also noticed that I wanted to change my answer, but thanks for the correction😅,
but I also realized that this could get a bit complicated, depends on how much you want to change the logic

the global_loot_modifiers.json is required iirc

"Required" in the sense that it's the correct way to do things to maintain mod compatibility. But loot tables are still loot tables and can still be overridden with data packs. Forge won't stop you from doing it.
