How to use loot tables in code?

[OrangeVillager61]

I have made a loot table for a custom chest I have world generated but I don't know how to have my code access said loot table.

I am using StructureComponent.generateChest to accomplish this. 

                this.generateChest(worldIn, structureBoundingBoxIn, randomIn, 7, 1, 1, ); //Here in the last parameter is where it should go

The ResourceLocation is the ID of the loot table. The vanilla IDs are stored in the LootTableList class.

[OrangeVillager61]

So how to get said id out of LootTableList? I can only seem to get vanilia stuff such as LootTableList.CHESTS_ABANDONED_MINESHAFT.

That is the 'ID'

What I'm saying is that I can't find access to the ID.

		LootTableList.register(new ResourceLocation("iv", "village_butcher"));

This is my register.

You need to make a variable like this:

public static final ResourceLocation BUTCHER_LT = LootTableList.register(new ResourceLocation("iv","villager_butcher"));

Then that is your ID.

[OrangeVillager61]

Okay, but the chests spawn empty with no errors related to that in the console.

 

                this.generateChest(worldIn, structureBoundingBoxIn, randomIn, 7, 1, 1, CommonProxy.VILLAGE_BUTCHER_LT); 

public class CommonProxy {

	public static final ResourceLocation VILLAGE_BUTCHER_LT = LootTableList.register(new ResourceLocation("iv","villager_butcher"));

	@EventHandler
    public void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent e) {
		ResourceLocation resourceLocation1 = new ResourceLocation("iv", "villager");
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new ChangeVilMateAI());
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new OverrideVillagers());
		EntityRegistry.registerModEntity(resourceLocation1, IvVillager.class, "IvVillager", 0, Iv.instance, 32, 1, true);
		//MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new CapabilityHandler());
		if (Config.enableVillages){
			MinecraftForge.TERRAIN_GEN_BUS.register(new ChangeVillageGeneration());
		}
		IvItems.Init();
		IvBlocks.Init();
		IvItems.createItems();
		IvBlocks.createBlocks();
		
	}
	@EventHandler
    public void init(FMLInitializationEvent e) {
		IvRecipes.addRecipes();
     	MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(new VillagerDrops());
	}
    @EventHandler
    public void postInit(FMLPostInitializationEvent e) {

    }
}

Your JSON is invalid. There is a comma missing after name property declaration.

You can use any of a multitude of JSON validators to check for errors. I personaly use jsonlint but there are many more.

[OrangeVillager61]

After adding a comma after "village_butcher" it still doesn't do anything.

[V0idWa1k3r]

Works just fine for me.

Wjere is your json file located, exactly? If you are registering it the way you are it must be located at resources/assets/iv/loot_tables/villager_butcher.json

[OrangeVillager61]

If you mean village_butcher.json then yes, I have it at src/main/resources/assets/iv/loot_tables/village_butcher.json

So, village or villager?

[OrangeVillager61]

It is used in my custom village with addComponentParts, (I omitted most of this function):

public boolean addComponentParts(World worldIn, Random randomIn, StructureBoundingBox structureBoundingBoxIn)
            {
				this.generateChest(worldIn, structureBoundingBoxIn, randomIn, 7, 1, 1, CommonProxy.VILLAGE_BUTCHER_LT); 
			}

Common Proxy is above.

Your names do not match. The resourcelocation points towards a non-existing file

I could have sworn I checked that twice, this is a reason why I hate working with json files . That probably fixed it, I am testing now.

Yep that fixed it thanks!
