Loot Tables / Data Generator

[Huntpor]

Hello all, 

I am fairly new to the whole modding for Minecraft and I I’m stuck spend about 5 hours researching where to go, how to use loot Tables, but I’m still a little stuck. I’ve created two blocks in my mod, but when I break them I’m getting no item. I know I have to use Lott Tables. Does anyone know where or could show me the best way to create / start off the generation for Loot Table? Like I’m I just using .json files out of the loot_table folder, or is there Java somewhere that can point me in the correct location? Anything will help at this point. Would love some pointers. 
 

thank you,

i'm not sure if you need this but the folder of loot_table is located at: data/modid/loot_tables/blocks

because of the loottable generation you can look how minecraft does this

just look in the forge libary at client-extra and then data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks/there are all Block loot tables

if you want a generator just "google" or look at: https://misode.github.io/loot-table/
