Magic Find

Magic Find adds extra rewards to Minecraft loot containers based on the player's Magic Find progression.

The original loot is preserved. When a bonus loot injection succeeds, the player hears an activation sound and the added items are marked inside the container.

Features

• Add extra rewards to any configured chest or container.
• Add extra rewards when killing any configured entity.
• Configure different rewards for different containers and entities.
• Requires specific Magic Find values to obtain rare rewards.
• Increases the number of bonus rolls as Magic Find increases.
• Configurable weight system to control reward probabilities.
• Configure minimum and maximum item amounts per reward.
• Gain Magic Find by completing achievements and killing configured entities.
• Compatible with vanilla, modded, and Lootr containers.
• Configure everything through datapacks.

How It Works

When a player opens a configured container, Magic Find checks the player's progression and the configuration assigned to that loot table.

If the injection activates, the mod selects and adds bonus rewards to empty slots while keeping the original loot untouched. The player receives an activation sound, and the added items receive a visual mark.

If the injection does not activate, the container keeps only its normal loot.

Configuration Location

Place JSON files in:

data/magicfind/mf_inject/

Example:

data/magicfind/mf_inject/my_rewards.json

Use /reload after adding or changing a file.

Configuration Example

{
  "target": "minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon",
  "replace": false,
  "rolls_by_mf": {
    "0": 1,
    "2200": {
      "min": 1,
      "max": 2
    },
    "3750": {
      "min": 1,
      "max": 3
    }
  },
  "pool": [
    {
      "item": "minecraft:iron_ingot",
      "count_min": 2,
      "count_max": 5,
      "required_mf": 0,
      "weight": 40
    },
    {
      "item": "minecraft:diamond",
      "count_min": 1,
      "count_max": 2,
      "required_mf": 1650,
      "weight": 10
    }
  ]
}

Configuration Options

target

The loot table that receives bonus rewards.

"target": "minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon"

Use the complete loot table ID, including its namespace.

Examples:

minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon
minecraft:chests/abandoned_mineshaft
minecraft:chests/end_city_treasure
minecraft:entities/zombie

rolls_by_mf

Controls the number of bonus reward rolls.

"rolls_by_mf": {
  "0": 1,
  "2200": {
    "min": 1,
    "max": 2
  },
  "3750": {
    "min": 1,
    "max": 3
  }
}

The highest Magic Find threshold reached by the player is used. In this example:

• Below 2200: 1 bonus roll.
• From 2200: 1 to 2 bonus rolls.
• From 3750: 1 to 3 bonus rolls.

A number creates a fixed amount of rolls. min and max create a random range.

pool

The list of rewards that can be added.

Each reward uses:

{
  "item": "minecraft:diamond",
  "count_min": 1,
  "count_max": 2,
  "required_mf": 1650,
  "weight": 10
}

• item: the item ID.
• count_min: minimum amount.
• count_max: maximum amount.
• required_mf: Magic Find required to unlock the reward.
• weight: relative chance of selection.

A reward with weight 20 is selected twice as often as an eligible reward with weight 10.

Creating Your Own Rewards

Create a pool that fits the container you are modifying. For example:

• Add tools and materials to a tool-related container.
• Add weapons and combat equipment to a weapon-related container.
• Add Nether resources to a Nether container.
• Add End resources to an End container.
• Add food and supplies to a survival container.

Use higher required_mf values for stronger rewards and lower weight values for rarer rewards.

Magic Find Progression

Players can gain Magic Find from:

• Eligible advancements.
• Configured entity kills.

Higher Magic Find can unlock better rewards and increase the number of bonus rolls.

Datapacks

Configurations can be added through a datapack using the same path:

<datapack>/data/magicfind/mf_inject/my_rewards.json

Datapacks allow you to add or change rewards without modifying the mod's Java code.

Compatibility

Magic Find supports vanilla loot tables, modded loot tables and Lootr containers. Attribute Core is required for the Magic Find progression system.
