Hey guys! How can I modify the loot table for a specific block with spigot, similar to how you could do it in a datapack?

Hello, I decided to make a tutorial here on how to modify the drops of blocks. I saw several threads on this, and they were all over-complicated, so...

#

i didn't read it fully yet though

#

That listens for an event and then drops a block, I'd preferably like to actually modify the loot table, such as in a datapack

#

what's the crucial difference that you're looking for though?

haughty crystal Feb 10, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

Mainly the ability to define pretty complicated block drops via the .json file

#

oh

haughty crystal Feb 10, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

but if that isn't possible I'll go with the solution you sent above!

#

maybe something hacky with nms could work

#

why are you rejecting the idea of datapacks?

#

You mean, a datapack in addition to the plugin?

harsh oracle Feb 10, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

yeah

#

you could embed it in your plugin and have your plugin unpack it or something, not sure

#

oh interesting

#

I'll look into that, thanks!

#

i think there's a JavaPlugin#saveResource for files that are inside of your resources in your IDE

#

like, you can put any file there and have it loaded with that method

#

please take this with a grain of salt because i haven't used that method
