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.

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.

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.

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

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

Edited May 17, 20178 yr by V0idWa1k3r

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?

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.

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!
