Loot table

Loot tables are technical JSON tables that represent what items should be in naturally generated containers, what items should drop when killing a mob, or what items can be fished.

Usage
The loot tables are structured as a String tag which determines the table to use, and a Long tag determining the seed. Containers or mobs with the same seed and table will drop the same items. Loot tables do not determine which slot of a container is used; that is randomly determined based on the seed.

For Chests, Trapped Chests, Hoppers, Storage Minecarts, Minecarts with Hoppers, Dispensers, Droppers, and Shulker Boxes: These tags will be removed once the items have been interacted with (by opening the container, breaking the container, etc.), and only then will items be put in the container.
 * : Loot table to be used to fill the container when it is next opened, or the items are otherwise interacted with. When the container is a chest which is part of a double chest, only the half corresponding to the tagged single-chest will be affected.
 * : Seed for generating the loot table. Works similarly to the seeds for worlds. 0 or omitted will use a random seed.
 * : Seed for generating the loot table. Works similarly to the seeds for worlds. 0 or omitted will use a random seed.

For Mobs:


 * The root tag.
 * : Loot table to be used for the items that drop when the entity is killed.
 * : Seed for generating the loot table. Works similarly to the seeds for worlds. 0 or omitted will use a random seed.

The loot tables of Mobs and containers can be altered with and.

Custom maps can use loot tables to change what loot will spawn in containers or drop by mobs. They can either modify existing loot tables or create new ones. This is the file structure:


 * data
 * loot_tables
 * loot_tables

Each folder under "loot_tables" is a namespace. The default files are under the namespace "minecraft", but custom maps and mods each have their own namespaces. For example, if you were to create a custom map called "Awesome Parkour Map," your namespace might be "awesome_parkour_map" (they can't contain spaces). It would contain any loot tables the map uses.

To override the default loot tables, you would place them in the "minecraft" namespace. They are organized by entities, chests, and fishing, as shown in the section List of loot tables. To use a custom namespace, set the loot table tag to "namespace:table_name", where "namespace" is the name of your namespace and "table_name" is the filename of your table, without the .json extension.

Tags
Loot tables are defined using the JSON format. Below are a list of tags used.


 * A list of all pools for this entity. Each pool used will generate items from its list of items based on the number of rolls. Pools are applied in order.
 * Determines conditions for this pool to be used. If multiple conditions are specified, all must pass.
 * Name of condition. Valid conditions are described below.
 * Specifies the exact number of rolls on the pool.
 * Specifies a random number of rolls within a range.
 * Minimum number of rolls. Inclusive.
 * Maximum number of rolls. Inclusive.

Functions
Loot tables use various functions to change the item stack being produced, such as adjusting the stack size or adding enchantments. Below are a list of valid functions, and the tags used by them. The tags are placed in the same function object as.


 * enchant_randomly - Enchants the item with one randomly-selected enchantment. The level of the enchantment, if applicable, will be random.
 * List of enchantment names to choose from. If omitted, all enchantments applicable to the item will be possible.
 * enchant_with_levels - Enchants the item, with the specified enchantment level (roughly equivalent to using an enchantment table at that level).
 * Determines whether treasure enchantments are allowed on this item.
 * Specifies the exact enchantment level to use.
 * Specifies a random enchantment level within a range.
 * Minimum level to use.
 * Maximum level to use.
 * exploration_map - Converts an empty map into an explorer map leading to a nearby generated structure.
 * The type of generated structure to locate. Accepts any of the s used by the  command (case insensitive).
 * The icon used to mark the destination on the map. Accepts any of the map icon text IDs (case insensitive). If  or   is used, the color of the lines on the item texture will change to match the corresponding explorer map.
 * The zoom level of the resulting map. Defaults to 2.
 * The size, in chunks, of the area to search for structures. The area checked is square, not circular. Radius 0 causes only the current chunk to be searched, radius 1 causes the current chunk and eight adjacent chunks to be searched, and so on. Defaults to 50.
 * Don't search in chunks that have already been generated. Defaults to true.
 * furnace_smelt - Smelts the item as it would be in a furnace. Used in combination with the  condition to cook food from animals on death.
 * looting_enchant - Adjusts the stack size based on the level of the Looting enchantment on the  entity.

 * Must be either "addition", "multiply_base" or "multiply_total".
 * Specifies the exact amount of change of the modifier.
 * Specifies a random amount within a range.
 * Minimum amount.

Conditions
Loot tables use various conditions which add requirements to a drop, pool, or function. Below are a list of valid conditions, and the tags used by them. The tags are placed in the same condition object as.

 * Scores to check. All specified scores must pass for the condition to pass.
 * Key name is the objective while the value is the exact score value required for the condition to pass.
 * Key name is the objective while the value specifies a range of score values required for the condition to pass.
 * Minimum score.
 * Maximum score.
 * killed_by_player - Test if a  entity is available.
 * If true, the condition passes if  is not available.

Custom Maps
Custom maps can use loot tables to change what loot will spawn in containers or drop by mobs. They can either change existing loot tables or create new ones. This is the file structure:


 * data
 * loot_tables
 * minecraft
 * minecraft

The JSON files go in this folder. For example, the file for zombies would go in. This will make every zombie in that world use your loot table rather than the default zombie loot table. To add custom loot tables, create a new file in a new directory. Then, summon the mob with the data tag DeathLootTable set to the name of the directory and file (without the .json extension), such as.
