SDM Loot Stages
SDM Loot Stages allows you to create stage-based loot progression, similar in concept to GameStages. All versions below Minecraft 1.21 are outdated and no longer supported.
This mod enables you to limit, replace, or modify loot tables and their contents depending on a player's progression stage. You can redefine drops from blocks, entities, chests, or fishing loot based on stages — providing full control over how players obtain rewards as they progress.
Description
SDM Loot Stages integrates with KubeJS and CraftTweaker, giving modpack developers and server owners the ability to manage loot in a flexible and scriptable way. It serves as a tool for building progression-based experiences, such as gated exploration, quest rewards, or staged resource unlocking.
Usage Example
KubeJS
// Server_Script
LootStages.builder("minecraft:blocks/dirt", "one")
.replaceLootTable("minecraft:chests/village/village_fisher")
.build();
LootStages.builder("minecraft:chests/village/village_fisher", "two")
.replaceItem('minecraft:wheat_seeds', 'minecraft:diamond')
.build();
CraftTweaker
import mods.lootstages.LootStages;
LootStages.builder(<resource:minecraft:blocks/dirt>, "one")
.replaceLootTable(<resource:minecraft:chests/village/village_fisher>)
.build();
LootStages.builder(<resource:minecraft:chests/village/village_fisher>, "two")
.replaceItem(<item:minecraft:wheat_seeds>, <item:minecraft:diamond>)
.build();
