Loot Tables:

1.9's major feature from Mojang was the switch to using Loot Tables, which is a json objust describing what should be generated where for things like mineshaft chests/entities.

Forge has had a hook into this system for a long time and tried to make it sane.

Mojang has finally come through and cleaned it up on their end to make it more flexible for everyone.

Sadly this means everyone's most hated friend Json is back.

Just deal with it, it's not that bad.

A short rundown of the API and what you can do with it is here:

Stuff:

  LootTableLoadEvent:

    Will be fired on the main forge event bus for every loot table loaded FROM RESOURCES by the LootTableManager.

    It WILL NOT be fired for loot tables loaded from NBT/World Folder, or anything else as those are considered CONFIG files, to be taken as gospel and NOT touched by modders.

    Can be canceled in which case EMPTY_TABLE is returned, or the table can be modified. THIS IS THE ONLY TIME A TABLE CAN BE MODIFIED ANYTHING OUTSIDE THE EVENT WILL THROW AN ERROR!!!!!

LootTable:

  New functions for managing the encased pools. Done by name.

LootPool:

  New functions for managing entries, and changing rolls info, Conditions are not yet editable. We'd have to uniquely name them as welll. Do people care to edit the conditions?

  Now have names, anything outside the 'minecraft' domain MUST provide a 'name' each pool. If they do not an exception is thrown and EMPTY_TABLE is used instead.

    Anything inside the 'minecraft' domain has names auto-generated for them. This is to keep compatiblity with loading vanilla jsons.

    The names are simple, the first pool is called 'main' any others are called 'pool#', For example minecraft:chests/spawn_bunus_chest has the pools 'main', 'pool1', 'pool2', 'pool3'.

    As these names are generated at loading time, they are static, and determinstic if you glance over the pool json.

    And if you remove a pool THE OTHER NAMES DO NOT CHANGE. So for the bonus chest, if you remove pool2, pool3 is still named pool3

    So modders can safely assume that table(minecraft:chests/spawn_bonus_chest).pool(pool3) will always be the building materials pool {sticks, planks whatever}

  LootEntry:

    New function to get the name, but beyond that the entries can't be edited, you have to remove+replace if you want to edit.

    We could add functions to edit the conditions/functions.... but is that needed? We'd have to find a way to uniquely name them.

    Again now have names, but this time in the 'entryName' field.

    And again names are generated for vanilla. As there are only two types of entries at this point it's easy.

    Items:

      entryName = name

      Going with the bonus chest example, the "main" pool has two entries, one named 'minecraft:wooden_axe' and the other named 'minecraft_stone_axe'

      If there is a vanilla json that has two enties in the same pool for the same item name, a counter is appended.

      'minecraft:stick', 'minecraft:stick#0', 'minecraft:stick#1'

    Table:

      entryName = name

      Same style as items

    Empty:

      entryName == 'empty'

      same style as items/table

    However when it comes to MODDED tables. The name ARE generated, except that it will NOT uniqueafiy the names by appending a counter.

    If you have two entries that are for 'minecraft:stick' then you MUST name the second entry something unique. It's suggested you name both, but for modder ease we do not force you to name something we can guess.
