How To Use LOOT TABLES!

In this video, I go over how to make loot tables in Minecraft Java Edition, which are used to control basically every way you can get items in game! You can use this for stuff like custom structure loot in data packs, or mob/block drops in mods!

Thank you for not just using a loot table generator and for actually explaining how the loot table structure works!

[Whimzee]

I love these tutorials and how much effort you put into them. Keep up the good work dude! What subjects are you going to do tutorials on next?

[progargantua]

One of the best minecraft tech youtubers out there. Love your content I learnt so much. Keep doing what you do!

[andrewsemenenko]

[mediumdifficulty]

Yes, waffles are better than pancakes

[TheeMrCheeky]

How would I link this to chests in my custom structures datapack i am making?

[rainbowslamo]

great tutorial! explained everything very well.

[pocketwatch_]

First of all I LOVED THE VIDEO +1 subscriber, and second can I use this in “In Control!” Mod?

[Vysimy]

Love the video! I don’t know if you will answer, but can you make a tutorial on a way to enter the custom dimension in for example survival?

[TheRealWassmChabbou]

Okay waffles one thing, how do you import these chest loot tables on some structures?

[_vis]

at 16:29 what is the ...{LootTable:" x "}} x supposed to be? is it the file location or what, or does this just not work in 1.21.1

[CHRISTlANautilus]

okay i see actually finally a somewhat clear to understand guide, so i have a question if i can use the same tools as you did in the video to add items from mods to dungeon, temple, mineshaft, ect chest loot? and if so would you hint me how how to do it either in dms on dc or mby even in a video tutorial similar to this one, i would highly apprecieate that because im struggling to pull this feature off for over a month without any results and this is like the last thing that has to be done in order to oficially stample my modpack as completed 😔

[zaccmaster]

I would love to see a video where you show us, how to let a custom structure (house or something else) spawn in vanilla biomes under normal conditions without replacing vanilla structures...? :D

[seviknefi]

Hey man, do you know how to set a custom data value in loottables minecraft 21.3. I cant find anything on google and in the video is nothing about it :, ). Great video tho helped me alot to get a general understanding.

[bibliusz]

i just want to disable the mending enchantment loot

how to do that easily?

[infinitywarrior]

Unsure if you will see this, but I want to change the loot table of specific chests that generate in a specific structure, how could I achieve this?

[Nomit]

how can i make a command block place these chests down cause if i try to it just gives a empty chest

[shabadooshabadoo]

Mine didn't work for some reason. I tried putting the folder into the datapacks folder. Then i tried zipping it. Then I tried moving one directory down incase you didn't move all of the folders on your sidebar into the folder. Still didnt work. I'll have to try it again tomorrow and maybe i'll have better luck

update: i was missing a quote lol. Works good now.

[palpi_]

Well well,
One year too late 😔
But nice Video :)

[TypicxlSortOfOdd]

Question, how do you actually GET the pack.mcmeta file to behave as a JSON file? (nvm solved)
