About this Mod
Lootery

Lootery is a datapack which makes various changes to vanilla loot tables in order to either rebalance them, make them more interesting or make them actually worth looting. Or just simply make sense.
Loot table changes
Chests
Lootery changes chest loot in different ways for different reasons:
- Rebalancing. Buried Treasures, Shipwrecks... The loot was far too great for the point of the game you can find these structures.
- Immersion. Extra Obsidian in Ruined Portals to help you rebuild what's broken, Kelp and Seagrass in Ocean Ruins, Torches and food in Villages. Changes like these are made to most chest loot tables in Lootery.
- Incentive. Rarer structures now have far greater loot to make up for their scarceness. Uncommon structures like Woodland Mansions, Pillager Outposts and Jungle Temples loot has been massively buffed to promote finding them.
- Ease. The primary change in this category is increasing the odds of finding Smithing Templates in chests. For example, Silence Smithing Template now has a 10% chance to generate in chests instead of a measly 1.2%, while Trims found in rarer structures have a 100% chance to be found there.
Entities
- Ghasts drop more Ghast Tears, up to 4 at once, because Ghasts are far too rare to only drop 1.
- Blazes have a chance to drop additional Blaze Powder or Glowstone Dust.
- Shulkers may drop both of their Shulker Shells, instead of one of them mysteriously vanishing.
- Drowneds may drop Prismarine Shards.
- Husks may drop Sand.
- Withers drop a lot of extra Coal, Soul Sand and Soul Soil.
- Piglins may drop Gold Nuggets and Gold Ingots at the same odds as Zombified Piglins.
- Wandering Traders drop 2 - 6 Emeralds on death.
- Villagers and Zombie Villagers sometimes drop Sticks, Wheat Seeds or rarely Emeralds on death.
Other
- Tamed Cats are more likely to bring Phantom Membranes in the morning.
- Sniffers have a 50% chance to dig up extra seeds.
- Piglins have slightly expanded selection of items for bartering.
- They can now also give Ribs and Netherite Upgrade Smithing Templates.
Big thanks to my supporters!

Lootery server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.20.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Lootery compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and quilt?
Lootery officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, quilt for Minecraft 1.20.4, 1.20.3, 1.20.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Lootery – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Lootery consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
