Plunderer - Locked Crates

Timed, hackable supply crates. Call one in, hack it, hold it, and loot it.

Plunderer adds the Locked Crate: a sealed crate that takes a long hack to open. The countdown floats above it where everyone can see it, so a drop turns into a fight over the spot.

The Hack

• Right-click a locked crate to start the hack. The default is 15 minutes.
• Anyone can start it, it cannot be cancelled, and the hacker does not have to stay.
• The countdown shows above the crate like a nametag, visible from every side and through walls.
• The crate beeps while it is being hacked, faster in the last 10 seconds.
• When it finishes, anyone can open it and take the loot. It leaves 10 minutes after unlocking, or as soon as it is emptied.
• Crates cannot be broken or blown up, and an untouched crate leaves after 2 hours.
• Chat announces the spawn, the hack start and the unlock, with coordinates.

Air Drops

Crates can fall from the sky on a parachute with a smoke trail. The area they land in stays loaded while they fall, so a drop always arrives, even if nobody is nearby.

Scheduled Drops

Switch on a timer and the server calls in crates for you.

• Every any number of hours and minutes, with an optional random offset.
• Players needed online, and a cap on active crates so drops never pile up.
• Around a player (a set distance from a random online player) or Fixed area (a circle you set).
• Choose the dimension and the loot table.
• A live countdown, plus Drop now and Restart timer.

Loot Tables

• Every item has its own percent chance and a min-max quantity, so you can mix guaranteed rewards with rare drops.
• Make as many tables as you want and cap how many stacks a crate holds.
• Items keep their data, so named items, enchanted gear and quest tokens drop exactly as you made them.
• Tables are plain files in config/plunderer/loot, and everything is editable in game.

Admin Screen

Operators get a full screen with four tabs: Loot, Crates, Schedule and Settings.

• Search every item in the game, or add the one in your hand.
• Spawn, air drop, unlock, reroll or remove crates. Open any crate and edit its contents live.
• Open it with the \ key, by sneak-right-clicking a crate, or with /plunderer.

The Crate Item

Operators can carry crates around. Right-click a block to place one. Each item holds its own loot table, and sneak plus right-click opens that table for editing.

Requirements

• NeoForge 1.21.1.
• Install it on the server and on every client.
• Works alongside Holdfast Factions. Hacking a crate counts as an entity interaction under land claims.

Configuration

• plunderer-common.toml: hack time, lifetimes, announcements and the schedule.
• plunderer-client.toml: how far away the countdown is visible.
• config/plunderer/loot/*.json: the loot tables.
