How do I install LootStories?

Install the matching mod loader (Forge, Fabric or NeoForge) for your Minecraft version. Download the .jar. Put it in the .minecraft/mods folder and launch that loader profile. Opens on CurseForge — not every file is mirrored on our own servers.

What Minecraft version does LootStories work with?

The listing gives Minecraft 1.21.1, 1.16.5, 1.20.1. This is the version stated by the author or source site, not something we verified ourselves.

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

LootStories

LootStories adds a bit of mystery and lore to your adventures by placing written books inside loot chests.

Each book contains a short story generated by DeepSeek or ChatGPT.

You can also include your own stories by adding .txt files to the config/lootstories/ folder. You could take a look at the readme in the config folder if you have difficulty configuring.

Dependencies

If you have the Jsonate installed, you can configure the loot generation chance/story weights/loot table binds for these books. It's not a hard requirement, though.

Modern UI is required for this mod, or the texts will be pieces of shit.
