How to give players random items

[finite jungle]

I’m trying to think of a way to give players 5 random items out of all the items in the game. I thought about using predicates for randomization but then I thought of maybe doing something with loot tables. Like maybe I could have them spawn on a chest with 5 random items? The issue is I’m not sure if that’s possible and if so how to go about it.

A loot table is the way to go, yes

You can insert them in a chest or just give them with the /loot command

[finite jungle]

Do you know how I could make said loot table?

[blissful hound]

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

[finite jungle]

Would I need to am manually add every item?

[blissful hound]

?

You would have to add every possible item ofc

[finite jungle]

Ok. That’s what I was expecting I was just hoping there would be an option for all

[blissful hound]

Oh you mean that all items are possible to get?

you can use a tag in the loot table

[blissful hound]

Like that

{
  "type": "minecraft:empty",
  "pools": [
    {
      "rolls": 0,
      "entries": [
        {
          "type": "minecraft:tag",
          "name": "taglib:all",
          "expand": false,
          "functions": []
        }
      ],
      "functions": []
    }
  ]
}

[next oracle]

that would be the easiest way to add all items to the loot table

And use this really cool data pack by the guy typing

^^

This one is up to date with 1.21.8

[blissful hound]

Where's it from?

[next oracle]

Don't open it in discord though, it nearly crahsed it for me

[next oracle]

I just made it

[blissful hound]

?

How?

[next oracle]

I copied the ite registry file from misodes mcmeta repo and then I converted it to a minecraft tag with 3 easy regex replace

although 2 would be enough

[blissful hound]

huh

cool

[next oracle]

in that order

You can simply give it a 100% chance and 5 rolls.

If you want to ensure unique items you need a different approach.

[finite jungle]

Thanks! One more thing, can I make the quantity of each item also random? Say 1-8 or so

[ivory crescent]

You can do so using the function of the entry object

Just check misode for the exact options and JSON to do so.
