Loot Purifier

Take control of your world's progression by removing unwanted vanilla gear from generated loot!

Loot Purifier is a lightweight and highly configurable mod designed for modpacks that want better control over item progression. Instead of finding outdated vanilla weapons, tools, and armor inside dungeon chests, villages, structures, and other loot sources, those items can be replaced with useful materials of your choice.

Perfect for modpacks using progression systems such as Tinkers' Construct, Loot Purifier helps prevent players from skipping intended crafting paths while keeping exploration rewarding.

Always make backups before changing configuration in an existing world.

Why Loot Purifier?

Many modpacks introduce new progression systems but still leave vanilla equipment scattered throughout generated structures. Loot Purifier gives pack creators the ability to keep exploration exciting while maintaining their intended balance.

Remove the clutter. Preserve progression. Purify your loot.
