ReCased

ReCased adds highly customizable Loot Cases to Minecraft. While there are Ways to find them Through exploration of the World, the main reason for using this mod is to add them as quest rewards for mod packs.

Since Version 2.0.0 you no longer have to manually add cases to the config files. New cases can be Added Via the casing Station if enabled in the Config!

📦 The Base Cases

 

By default, the mod dynamically scans your game (including other mods!) and sorts items into the following crates:

• Armor Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Armor (random durability).
  
  
• Arrow Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Arrows (drops 1-64).
  
  
• Enchantment Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Enchanted Books.
  
  
• Food Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Food Items (drops 1-64).
  
  
• Potion Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Potions.
  
  
• Tool Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Tools (random durability).
  
  
• Weapon Case: Contains Vanilla and Modded Weapons and Shields (random durability).
  
  
• Special Case: A configurable case for special items (e.g., Beacons, Music Discs, Boss Drops).
  
  

Default Drop Rates:

60% Common | 25% Rare | 10% Epic | 5% Legendary

How to Obtain Cases

• World Generation: Loot cases now spawn naturally in Vanilla and Modded dungeon chests, mineshafts, and strongholds!
  
  
• Village Exploration: Keep an eye out for the new Case Trader Villager House that naturally generates in all 5 village types! Here you will find the Case Trader.
  
  
• Archaeology: Uncover them by brushing Suspicious Sand inside Desert Pyramids.
  
  
• Creative: Find them in the dedicated ReCased Creative Tab, or use /give @s recased:<case_name>.
  
  
  

The Casing Station (In-Game Editor)

You can now edit existing cases or create entirely new custom ones directly in-game. [ONLY WORKS IF ENABLED IN CONFIG]

1. Place a Casing Station block.

2. Open the GUI to see a list of all existing cases.

3. Click the "+" button to create a brand-new custom case, or click an existing case to edit it.

4. Add/Remove Items: Simply click items in your inventory to add them to the case, or click them in the case grid to remove them. (NBT data, enchantments, and custom potions are fully supported!)

5. Tweak Drop Rates: Select any item in the case to manually adjust its drop chance and min/max drop amounts.

6. Save: Once you hit save, the mod instantly generates a clean .json file in your config/recased/ folder!
   
   

⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATING RULES:

• Adding/Editing Cases: If you create a new case or edit an existing one, you must reload your world (Singleplayer) or reconnect to the server (Multiplayer) for the changes to fully sync to your client.
  
  
• Deleting Cases: If you manually delete a case .json file from your config folder, you must fully restart the server/game to clear it from memory!

Modpack creators and players have full permission to create, modify, distribute, and upload Resource Packs dependent on ReCased that add or modify custom case textures. To make this as easy as possible, we have provided an official template!

Multiplayer & Servers

SERVER SYNC You no longer need to force players to manually download and copy config files.

When a player joins your dedicated server, ReCased will automatically sync the server's custom crates and drop rates directly to the player's client.

YES! We highly encourage you to use ReCased for your modpack's loot or questing system. (If you are hosting outside of CurseForge, a simple credit link back to this page is appreciated!)

 

Known Issues & Feedback

• First-Load Lag: When opening a dynamically generated case for the very first time in a heavily modded world, there may be a slight lag spike as the mod indexes all modded items. Subsequent openings will be perfectly smooth.
