How It Works

When Minecraft loads a loot table for a structure:

The mod checks if the structure matches a rarity category
If it matches, a loot box is injected into the chest
When opened, the loot box:
- consumes itself
- gives a random reward from its pool
- plays a sound and animation

Each box uses its own item pool, meaning rewards are consistent with its rarity.

Enchantments

Higher-tier loot boxes can generate:

randomly enchanted tools
enchanted armor
multi-enchantment combinations

Enchantments are applied dynamically, making each reward feel unique.

Visual & Audio Feedback

Opening a loot box triggers:

a floating item animation (like a totem effect)
a custom opening sound

This gives clear feedback and makes rewards feel impactful.

Integration

The mod integrates directly into vanilla loot tables No configuration required — everything works out of the box.

Summary

Bed's LootBoxes enhances exploration by adding:

meaningful rewards
rarity progression
replayable loot mechanics

It keeps vanilla balance while making every chest feel more exciting.
