I got pointed at this tutorial and it's clearly both inaccurate (uses both MinecraftForge.addDungeonLoot and DungeonHooks.addDungeonLoot in its examples) and out of date (this method exists in neither).

 

Where has it gone?

 

ChestGenHooks has this comment:

//Currently implemented categories for chests/dispensers, Dungeon loot is still in DungeonHooks

 

Which is also...wrong, as DungeonHooks only has add/remove mob.

There clearly is a dungeon chest category in ChestGenHooks.

Then you can use whatever addItem method you want in that class.

My goal was to allow other mods to build dungeons that would get my loot without adding it to the vanilla dungeon loot list.

 

Apparently the person who sent me that link doesn't understand what dungeon loot is properly.

I hope this works, but my mod adds items to appear in structure chests from Vanilla, using this method:

ChestGenHooks.getInfo(ChestGenHooks.CHEST_TYPE_HERE.addItem(new WeightedRandomChestContent(new ItemStack(ITEM HERE), MINIMUM STACK SIZE, MAXIMUM STACK SIZE, CHANCE TO GENERATE[higher=more often]));

Hope this helped you. All the chest types can be found in ChestGenHooks, and maybe some in the actual structure file. Probably not though. The last three variables are all ints. Do you know how to code a sphere of particles??

I am already aware of how to use ChestGenHooks, ty.

 

As for your question: that you have your own thread for and no, I do not.

That tutorial didn't help me either. I seem to have misunderstood your question. I think they could just add your loot through their own code, when they decide what will be in their chests. I did that with my mod (unfortunately structures were too much for me) and my own items.

To help get into structures, take a look at this:

While the code outputted is for 1.3.2, there's only a handful of names that need to be changed to make it work.

I've also been pointed at MCreator, as it will output Java files that you can edit as well.

Thanks a lot. I'm sure that tutorial and the program will help me a lot. I'm sorry I can't help with your problem, I'm still fairly new at modding.

My problem was one of confusion.

 

And the program is glorious.  It messes up the orientation on dispensers frequently (still not sure why)--last use I had 6 dispeners, 3 facing the other three.  In the converted code only one is facing the right direction.
