Loot Table Primer

Posted November 15, 20168 yr

I have been getting into modding recently and have no idea how to even get started adding items to loot tables. I might be able to figure out how to make one, but when it comes to simply removing or adding to them in my mod i cannot seem to figure it out. Does anybody have any forbidden loot table knowledge they could share with me?

What are you trying to do?

Create your own loot table, or modify an existing loot table?

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable. If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME. Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

I am trying to add and remove from loot tables.

From existing loot tables.

Ok.

Subscribe to the LootTableLoadEvent.

And then do magic.

And by magic, I mean I figured most of this out by trial and error and a single existing post on the forums.

If anyone else has any advice on how to do this better, I'm all ears. My biggest complaint/issue with the loot table system is that in order to detect a given loot table, I need to compare strings.

And how would you do that differently? Use an number-based ID?

I don't have an alternative. I don't know. But I can still not like it.

The other thing that I had trouble with, was being able to see the JSON equivalent of what I was doing.

That is, I couldn't figure out how to write my changes to a file. I'm sure there's a way, I just couldn't figure out how.

Reflectively get the value of LootTableManager#GSON_INSTANCE and call Gson#toJson() with it, passing in the LootTable that you want serialised.

Ah, cool. I'll try and remember that.

I'm done doing my manipulation, and everything works the way I want, but there was a lot of poking around in the dark.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I do have to add that this is my answer for 1.12.2 but it should ALSO work for future versions.

How do I remove 3d headlayer on NPC's skin in CustomNpc? (1.16.5)

I know this was posted almost 3 years ago but this is for anyone who is still looking for an answer.

First, find your config folder. -> C:\Users\ (desktop user's name) \curseforge(or the application where you've downloaded you mod)\minecraft\Instances\config (The config folder should be in the same folder as your mods folder.) Once you click on the config folder, search for CustomNpcs.cfg. Once found, click on it (you can edit it using notepad) and search for the line "headweartype". Set the value to 0 if you want a 2d head layer, set it to 1 for a 3d head layer. Then save the options and you should be good to go from there! :)

[1.21.3] How to add effects to food?

game changed the way you create foods.
for example minecraft 1.21.8 code for the golden apple is

Foods.java
public static final FoodProperties GOLDEN_APPLE = new FoodProperties.Builder().nutrition(4).saturationModifier(1.2F).alwaysEdible().build();

Items.java
public static final Item GOLDEN_APPLE = registerItem("golden_apple", new Item.Properties().food(Foods.GOLDEN_APPLE, Consumables.GOLDEN_APPLE));

Consumables.java
public static final Consumable GOLDEN_APPLE = defaultFood() .onConsume( new ApplyStatusEffectsConsumeEffect( List.of(new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.REGENERATION, 100, 1), new MobEffectInstance(MobEffects.ABSORPTION, 2400, 0)) ) )
