Loot Bug | Item Collecting Companion

About

Turn scattered drops into a helpful little companion adventure.

Loot Bug adds a small flying beetle that searches for dropped items, travels to them through the world, stores them in its oversized sack, and returns to release them beside you. Items are never teleported directly into your inventory, so gathering remains visible and physical.

Features

• Physical item collection — the bug travels to each dropped item instead of silently moving loot into your inventory.
• Animated companion — a custom model, texture, and animations give the collector its own personality.
• Terrain-friendly movement — flies over ledges, gaps, water, and uneven ground while recovering from blocked paths.
• 12-stack sack — carries up to 12 occupied stacks before returning to its owner.
• Four commands — choose Follow, Stay, Collect, or Ignore Items.
• Two collection ranges — Follow gathers within 16 blocks, while Collect searches within 32 blocks.
• Whitelist and blacklist filters — configure up to eight item identifiers through the interaction menu.
• Safe companion — cannot take damage, does not push entities, and returns with the reusable whistle if separated.
• Multiplayer ownership — each Loot Bug responds only to its owner.
• English and Russian pack information — includes localized pack and item names.
• Vibrant Visuals compatible — the included Resource Pack declares PBR capability.

How to use

1. Import the .mcaddon file into Minecraft Bedrock.
2. Activate both the Loot Bug Behavior Pack and Resource Pack for your world.
3. Craft a Loot Bug Whistle using one chest, two emeralds, one string, and one leather.
4. Use the whistle to summon your Loot Bug. Use it again whenever you need to recall the same loaded companion.
5. Interact with the bug to select a command or configure item filters.
6. Drop items or break blocks nearby and watch the bug collect and return them.

Crafting

The Loot Bug Whistle is crafted at a crafting table:

 String
Emerald + Chest + Emerald
 Leather

The whistle is reusable and is not consumed when summoning or recalling the companion.

Notes

• Follow mode collects nearby drops within 16 blocks while remaining close to the owner.
• Collect mode searches more actively within 32 blocks.
• Stay mode waits at its current position and stops gathering.
• Ignore Items mode follows the owner without collecting drops.
• The default filter is an empty blacklist, which allows every dropped item.
• Items released by the bug remain physical world drops and must still be picked up normally.
• No experimental toggles are required.

Requirements

• Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.26.50 or newer
• Loot Bug Behavior Pack and Resource Pack must both be active
• No external add-on dependencies required
