In my mod there are some compatibility blocks to better work with other mods. The problem is, these mods aren't always loaded of course, they're not dependencies!
So, I have to make sure to check if they're loaded before the loot tables loaded, otherwise it throws annoying errors at the console.

I asked this question earlier in the Discord, and Unbekannt suggested to load a datapack conditionally, with all the loot tables inside it.
Not quite sure how I do that tho, and if there are any better alternatives? 🤔

(I tried using the LootTableLoadEvent to disable loading certain loot tables if the mod wasn't there, but it seems to only call for vanilla recipes)

wait, you can use tags for an entry result? interesting

so if I have multiple items in that tag, it'll drop one at random?
