[1.9] Questions about chest loot

[Sinhika]

How do we replace the old ChestGenHooks() functionality?  I noticed the new loot table JSON files--do we just add ones for our mod and they somehow get automatically added to the pool for a given loot source, or is there a method we  need to call somewhere?  (If so, where should it be called from?)

 

Porting to 1.9 from 1.8.9 isn't nearly as easy as people suggested it would be--the changes are nearly as great as from 1.7.10 -> 1.8.9.

Currently, you don't. This Pull Request will add a way for mods to use vanilla's new loot system, but it's still a preliminary draft.
