How It Works
Random Rarity (Weapons & Armor)
- Rolls when first held
- Stored permanently in NBT
- Higher rarity = stronger stats
Fixed Rarity (Items & Materials)
- Uses built-in + custom configs
- Ideal for rare drops, boss items, and special materials
Priority System
Rarity is assigned in this order:
- SetID fixed rarity
- Custom / internal fixed rarity
- SetID rarity pool
- Item rarity pool
- Auto-detected weapon/armor
- Default fallback
SetID System (Custom Loot)
Create boss drops and unique gear:
/give @p minecraft:diamond_sword{SetID:"boss_drop"} 1
Supports:
- Fixed rarity
- Custom rarity pools
- Custom attributes
Auto-Attributes
All gear automatically gains bonuses:
- Swords → Damage + Speed
- Armor → Health + Armor
- Boots → Movement Speed
- Shields → Knockback Resistance
- Works without config
- Scales with rarity
