Chest to Vault replaces loot chests in structures with vaults that require no keys to open. This means all players can acquire loot from structures even if other players found them already, as a sort of server-side alternative to Lootr.
The mod works server-only, but due to vanilla limitations you must have some item in your hand to open a vault (it will not be consumed). Installing the mod on the client removes this limitation.
Notes
- Chests with hardcoded contents instead of loot tables will not be replaced
- Should work with modded & datapack structures
- Any structures in the tag
#chesttovault:no_vault_replace(by default trial chambers) will not have their chests replaced by vaults - Requested by @agathonws on the fabric discord server
