Mods/Lucky Block

The Lucky Block mod adds in a block that, when broken, drops a variety of items and blocks that can be either good or bad. It also has many different mod add-ons, for example the Rainbow Lucky block and Pink Lucky blocks. The original mod was created by PlayerInDistress (aka firecat360123).

Crafting


This is the default lucky block. With certain items, the luck amount can be changed. Generally speaking, valuable items such as diamonds and emeralds will increase the luck amount, while less valuable items like spider eyes decrease the luck amount of the block.





Objects of the above stated item in block form will greatly increase the luck value of the block. Higher luck values increase the odds of receiving better item drops. Lower luck values increase the change for bad drops or for deathtraps to spawn instead. Luck values range from -100 (unlucky) to 0 (intermediate value) to 100 (very lucky). List of items that can modify the luck value for the block:

Adds Luck:

Diamond: 12, Diamond Block: 100, Emerald: 8, Emerald Block: 80, Gold Ingot: 6, Gold Block: 60, Iron Ingot: 3, Iron Block: 30, Golden Apple: 40, Enchanted Golden Apple: 100, Nether Star: 100

Subtracts Luck:

Rotten Flesh: -5, Spider Eye: -10, Fermented Spider Eye: -20, Poisonous Potato: -10, Puffer Fish: -20

The luck value of blocks is only known if the block is in the inventory. Therefore, there is a new way to troll friends or play a fun minigame if blocks are placed strategically.

Natural Generation
Lucky Blocks can be found in either quartz or netherrack structures. If found in a quartz structure, the block is lucky. If found in a netherrack structure, the block can have -50 to -100 luck. If found in a quartz structure, the block can have 50 to 100 luck.

These structures spawn in the overworld at random location or a structure. In some instances, these drops may be beneficial, but other times they may be harmful, depending on the structure. If there is no structure, then the lucky block's luck value is at 0; therefore useful items may drop, or a dangerous situation may occur.

Drops
The list of drops is extensive and ever-changing. In general, the common items spawned are: valuable items (iron, emeralds, diamonds), an enchanted lucky set (armor, tools, weapons), mobs (Mr. Rainbow sheep, giants, spiders), structures (lucky block pyramids, water deathtrap, stained clay tower, lucky block wishing well), explosions, and lava holes.

On YouTube, PopularMMOs (or Pat on his videos) has a bunch of videos on the lucky block add-ons. Refer to the external links at the bottom of this article.
