Rarity and Entity Groups

In version 1.3.0 and higher, all bags will drop from different types of entities (mobs) based on their rarity. Each group has a loot table, which you can override to customize drop rates.

Entity group loot tables are found here: 1.16.x

Loot Function

For more control, there is a loot function which will set the bag type (as all bags are a single item). You must use this function to get the correct bag type. The function name is treasurebags:set_bag_type and it has one property, type, which is the bag type ID. See the example below.

An Example

This particular file (which is the bat loot table) has a single pool with one entry, which has a 10% drop rate with a 2.5% bonus per looting level, as well as requiring a player kill. You can of course omit these conditions if you like. You would probably want a much lower drop rate for most bags as well, maybe 1~5%.

Note that if you have more than one treasure bag entry in a pool, you need to include the entryName property with a unique value for each entry. This is needed anytime you have multiple entries of the same item.

For the bag type, this should look like your_namespace:bag_type. In this example, the bag type file is located at data/chaos_loot/treasurebags/bag_types/bat.json, which translates to a bag type ID of chaos_loot:bat.

Converting JSON file name to bag type ID:
data/namespace/treasurebags/bag_types/file.json => namespace:file
