Loottable Datapack not working, some1 help? | Datapack Hub | Page 1

Hi, so tried to follow a guide to create a loottable datapack to remove pretty much all vanilla food items from Dungeon/village chests, as it ruins my whole "food not abundan" playstyle, but it's not working, and I have no idea why :/
If some1 could take a look that knows a little and tell me what's wrong or guide me, I would appriciate it a ton! 😮

What exactly isn't working?

#

And also can you just paste the contents of that JSON in here rather than the file? You can start and end it with ``` to display it as a code block

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 4:06 AM

#

Well, it's not working in terms of, when I/we open chests, they are still filled with ton of the vanilla foods, so I dont think it's doing anything really :/

DOnt know how to paste it in as you mention, when I tried to copy the text, it auto dumps in the file like before.

#

Ya nahh, text is too long for that format to work I think

quiet field Feb 27, 2024, 4:24 AM

#

Ah I see

#

What do logs say?

:information_source: Default Launcher Logs

The logs are where Minecraft displays errors when something goes wrong and can thus help you gain information about why something isn't working for you!
To open the logs:

Enable logs in the Minecraft Launcher
Start your game (or restart it if you already have an open instance)
Enjoy spotting errors getting much easier!

quiet field What do logs say?

how do I post log?

#

cant drag or copy it in

quiet field Feb 27, 2024, 5:20 AM

#

Copy paste the relevant text. Should be red or orange

#

If you absolutely must an image is fine

#

Where is the file located and how is it called?

#

To replace a vanilla loot table, you need to call the file 1:1 the same and it has to be in the same location (but within your data pack)

#

So it the vanilla loot table is minecraft:chests/end_city then, in your data pack, it needs to be at data/minecraft/loot_tables/chests/end_city.json

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:25 AM

#

robust pine Where is the file located and how is it called?

ohh emhh, I'm playing on my hosted Forge server and I might be wrong, but I dont think that location is there on the server, I saw that on clients, that you could open up the Java file and then locate the loottable, but I cant locate that on my dedicated server

#

And the datapack file itself is just called "nofood-2.0.0"

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

How the data pack itself is called doesn’t matter, only from /data/ and lower

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:26 AM

#

#

This is my path for datapacks to the server

#

But i dont have a chance to know what the name has to be, as I dont got a data/loottable location to see those names 😮

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:28 AM

#

It would be a data/<namespace>/loot_tables/ location

#

There won’t be a loot table namespace

#

If you are replacing vanilla village loot tables it’s easy to find

#

For modded stuff that’s a lot harder

#

But also possible

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:29 AM

#

I mean even the Vanilla is hard I feel like xD
when I youtube it, it's just people opening up a java file and locating the loottables, I dont got that

#

Might be that one small detail I'm not getting and it's really simple

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:30 AM

#

Yes you do, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to play the game, you need that file for Minecraft to load it in the first place

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:30 AM

#

Hmm, that file is not located in my whole server folder

#

I mean I got it for my client, but that doesnt take effect on the server

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:31 AM

#

This (https://github.com/misode/mcmeta/tree/data-json/data/minecraft/loot_tables/chests/village) is all vanilla data pack files like you'd find in your jar, you can use these to browse the paths and original contents

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:32 AM

#

knotty condor I mean I got it for my client, but that doesnt take effect on the server

you also got those in your server, that loads the loot tables
you only copy from there, you can only modify them using a data pack, don’t do that in the jar directly

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:33 AM

#

So If you were me, and couldn't locate that file to copy from and so on, what would u type/search for?

#

Even tried searching for "minecraft" to find the main folder, and it doesnt exist

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:34 AM

You mean these names?

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:34 AM

.. and file contents, yes

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:34 AM

#

Nothing comes up

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:34 AM

#

And the whole path to them

#

I don’t know why you try to find them in your world file

#

If anything they'd be in the server jar

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

That was my thought at first

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:35 AM

#

But you don’t need to find them there, if it’s the vanilla village just look into your local vanilla jar / the website I sent

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

I must be insanely stupid or something, nothing I search for exists in that server folder 🥲

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:36 AM

#

It’s not in the folder

#

It’s inside of the jar

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:37 AM

#

Okay will try and search inside the only Jar i got

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:37 AM

#

ohh Local As in appdata?

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:37 AM

#

Your pc, your Minecraft installation

#

Not the server

#

Or just the website

#

I provided 2 ways to get it, why are you looking for your 3rd approach you are having trouble with?

#

If it turns out not to be those, you can still try and find it else where

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:39 AM

#

Yeah that is me being stupid, I kept being stuck on "jar" must be in the server and ignored "on local installation"

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 6:39 AM

#

You could try replacing the loot tables with a simple one that only places a single stone or something to be sure that the paths match, since that’s the only important part

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 6:44 AM

#

📎 lootchest-1.0.0.zip

#

Okay So I made this which should be 1 stone

#

Is it the name of the File it self that would need to change to for example "ancient_city.json"

#

For it to take effect on chests that are in ancient_city?

#

#

Or the name of the File inside

#

Okay I've done what I thought made most sense and done all the vanilla village files

That didnt do the trick xD

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:09 AM

What’s the path to your loot tables, starting from /data/

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

robust pine What’s the path to your loot tables, starting from /data/

You mean on my local Installation or on the server, where I tried to place them? 🙂

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:11 AM

#

In your data pack

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:13 AM

#

C:\Users\tugan\curseforge\minecraft\Instances\All the Mods 9 - ATM9\saves\New World\datapacks\nofood-2.0.0.zip\data\nofood\loot_tables\blocks\

#

This I think

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:15 AM

#

this is in the nofood namespace, look again at the website or your local jar for the correct namespace
this is in the blocks subfolder, look again at the website or your local jar for the correct path

#

Or in other words:

why do you try editing your own loot table when you want to overwrite another one
why would you think that the end city chest/village chest loot table is a block loot table

#

How would minecraft know what to overwrite if the paths don’t match?

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:35 AM

#

robust pine 1. this is in the nofood namespace, look again at the website or your local jar ...

D:\CurseForge\Instances\ATM9 Server\Hugabuga\datapacks\nofood-2.0.0.zip\data\minecraft\loot_tables\chests\village\

#

Btw really sorry for having to deal with my mush brain in terms of understanding 😅
I really appriciate the effort

#

So I think I got the pathing right now, but was me naming it "noFood" alright, or does that cause trouble for the pathing also?

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:45 AM

#

the pack itself can be called how you want to

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:46 AM

knotty condor D:\CurseForge\Instances\ATM9 Server\Hugabuga\datapacks\nofood-2.0.0.zip\data\min...

Did you try that out? that looks like it could be correct :D

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:46 AM

#

Didnt work 😅
I am playing modded, but I located a plains biome village, and tried to open chests and they all had food in them

#

Could also be because the Loot table itself is faulty, will have to check via jar file to put them up against eachother

#

Okay I see now the one in jar file is put up like

#

],
"name": "minecraft:porkchop",
"weight": 6
},
{
"type": "minecraft:item",
"functions": [
{
"add": false,
"count": {
"type": "minecraft:uniform",
"max": 3.0,
"min": 1.0
},
"function": "minecraft:set_count"
}
],

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:51 AM

#

I suggest just using this generator:

https://misode.github.io/loot-table/

#

You can see if your data pack had an error while loading when looking at the logs or server console in this case when starting the server or running /reload

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:52 AM

#

robust pine I suggest just using this generator: https://misode.github.io/loot-table/

Arh okay, I was using an application called MCreator to make the datapack

#

But I see it looks different from what is in my jar file

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:54 AM

#

robust pine I suggest just using this generator: https://misode.github.io/loot-table/

So could I do this, and bread would not be able to spawn?

#

robust pine Feb 27, 2024, 7:55 AM

#

No, that would make the loot table empty instead

#

For testing purposes, I suggest making a loot table that always drops 1 stone or something

#

So you can confirm the path

#

Since that’s what’s not 100% confirmed yet

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 7:57 AM

#

Arhh gotcha, will try that

knotty condor Feb 27, 2024, 8:13 AM

#

Okay will have to give it a go later today, either pathing is wrong, or the village is modded from Bioms O plenty, but picked a Plains biome village, so wouldnt think it should have changed
