LootRestock

Description

LootRestock is a lightweight Fabric mod that tracks when chests are looted and automatically resets them after a configurable period. This ensures that loot can replenish over time, ideal for persistent servers, custom maps, and adventure-based gameplay.

Key Features

• Tracks every lootable chest opened by players
• Resets chest contents based on original loot tables only when chunks are loaded
• Configurable cooldown period using simple time units (e.g. 7 days, 12 hours, 30 minutes)
• Persists data across server restarts
• Optionally reset only when chests are empty (or always) after timeout expires

Configuration

LootRestock generates a simple config file at ./lootrestock.properties with the following options:

reset_time_value=7
reset_time_unit=days
include_barrels=false

• reset_time_value: Number of time units before a chest is eligible for reset
• reset_time_unit: Units of time: seconds, minutes, hours, or days
• only_reset_when_empty: (default value: true)
  • true: Chests will reset only if empty (after the cooldown)
  • false: Chests will reset regardless of contents (after the cooldown)
• include_barrels: Whether barrel loot should get reset (default value: false)

Data Persistence

• Chest interaction data is stored in the world save folder (chest_reset_data.json)
• Safe to shut down or reload server without losing tracked state

Use Case Examples

• Keep dungeon loot fresh in multiplayer worlds
• Refill treasure chests in singleplayer
• Ensure players always have a reason to explore
