Help on making custom death loot tables and pack.mcmeta

[hasty quartz]

Hi, I'm new to this discord :):

The problem I'm having is that my custom DeathLootTables don't work at all. When I summon a zombie with the DeathLootTable "zombieone", it drops only EXP and nothing else. Can anyone help??

Another thing is that my pack.mcmeta always outputs a error message (also in link) and I don't know how to solve it.

Note: I posted this question on reddit (Cuz Y not) so please look at it and refer to most of it, link here:

Thanks everyone!

show your pack.mcmeta

[hasty quartz]

here?

ok

I tried both 15 and 18 but they both didn't work

"message": "JSON parsing failed: 'SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input'",
"startLineNumber": 1,
"startColumn": 1,
"endLineNumber": 1,
"endColumn": 1

Did you recently restart your vscode?

If not, try that first

[hasty quartz]

ok

but does it have any impact

on the datapack

[unique hinge]

Do you see your pack when you type /datapack list ingame?

If you see your pack then no, that has no impact

Also, when referencing the loot table, try minecraft:entity/zombieone instead, that’s it's full path

[hasty quartz]

Hmm no I don't see anything but I put another datapack in the same world and it works (it increases the build limit to 1024, and yes, I put them separately in the datapack folder)

[unique hinge]

Then it doesn’t seem to see the data pack

Is your pack.mcmeta at the right location?

[hasty quartz]

yes

pls look

im using mac...

[unique hinge]

Did you /reload in game?

[hasty quartz]

yes

summoning command: /summon zombie ~ ~ ~ {DeathLootTable:"minecraft:entities/zombieone"}

[unique hinge]

If you don’t see your pack on /datapack list then the loot table isn’t be loaded, I can assure that :<

[hasty quartz]

yeah but the other datapack works

[unique hinge]

Try copying it's pack.mcmeta

[hasty quartz]

hmm ok

nope, not working

custom names won't interfere with it right?

should i send you the world (I just started making it it's barely 200 blocks

[unique hinge]

You could zip the pack and send it here

[hasty quartz]

yeah that's what i was thinking

[unique hinge]

But I don’t have time to look through it rn

[hasty quartz]

ok i'll just send it thu then
