Loot system?

[ScottehBoeh]

I'm wondering how possible it would be to set up a loot system (In which right-clicking blocks would return a custom inventory holding items from a set list.)

 

Surely this should be possible with the use of NBT?

 

(Would be interesting to have a conversation about this)

Wouldn't be that hard, all you would need is a block with a TE and the TE would need a List of either a List of ItemStacks or an array of ItemStacks. And a boolean to determine if it has been right clicked if you want it to choose at right click and not placed. Actually I would do it with a Map so you can set the key to the percentage.

A string array list with concatenation between the ID and Amount could work. Picking a random from the index and returning it as an NBT in the block as a container.

Yes that would work, but don't forget NBT :3

 

*Edit wow can't believe I just said that, I meant metadata.

There's also the existing loot table system which you could purpose for this.

Never managed to work my way around the available loot system Spending all day looking into it, ofc. Gotta teach myself some more metadata crap.
