⚔️ RPGLoot

Transform your vanilla server into an RPG loot experience — without replacing the game your players already love.

Hostile mobs, bosses, and ancient structures now drop weapons, armor, and tools with randomized rarity tiers, unique generated names, and hand-crafted bonus stats. Everything stacks naturally with vanilla mechanics — enchantments, attributes, and loot tables all work exactly as expected. Drop it in, restart, done.


🌟 Rarity System

Every item rolls one of 5 rarity tiers, each with its own color, name style, and stat multiplier range:

Tier Color Stat Bonus Drop Chance
Common Gray Low High
🟢 Uncommon Green Moderate Medium
🔵 Rare Blue High Low
🟡 Hero Gold Very High Very Low
🔴 Legendary Red Maximum Rare

Each rarity scales damage, defense, and speed independently — and unlocks stronger bonus stat rolls.


✨ Bonus Stats

Items roll 1–3 bonus stats from a curated pool per item type. No filler — every stat has a real in-game effect.

⚔️ Weapons

Stat Effect
Lifesteal Heal a % of damage dealt
Crit Chance Bonus critical strike probability
Bleeding DoT damage over several seconds
Knockback Boost Extra knockback on hit
Smash Radius Mace: splash damage to nearby enemies
Lightning Strike Random lightning bolt on target
Riptide Speed Boost while in water or rain (Trident)
Fall Damage Bonus Damage scales with fall distance

🛡️ Armor

Stat Effect
Health Boost Permanent max HP increase
Dodge Chance % chance to completely avoid a hit
Damage Reduction Flat % less damage taken
Speed Boost Passive movement speed increase
Thorns Chance Reflect damage on hit
Night Vision Persistent night vision effect
Fall Reduction Reduce fall damage taken

⛏️ Tools

Stat Effect
Fortune Boost Extra fortune levels
XP Boost Bonus XP from blocks and fishing
Auto-Smelt Chance to auto-smelt mined blocks
Replant Chance Auto-replant harvested crops (Hoe)
Double Catch Chance for double fish loot
Luck Boost Increased fishing luck

💎 Set Bonus System

Every weapon and armor piece belongs to one of 8 named sets. Collect matching pieces — same set name, rarity, and material — to unlock scaling bonuses.

Piece scaling:

Pieces Multiplier
2 30%
3 55%
4 75%
5 100% + Special Effect

Available sets:

Set Bonus Stat Legendary (5 pcs)
🌑 Shadowveil Dodge Chance +11.0%
⛓️ Ironbound Damage Reduction +11.0%
🌅 Dawnbreaker Crit Chance +11.0%
🌊 Tidecaller Lifesteal +5.0%
🔥 Emberclaw Bleeding Chance +20%
Stormwarden Speed Boost +10.0%
🌀 Voidwalker XP Boost +25%
Gilded Luck +1.8 pts

The active piece count is highlighted live in the item lore in the set's rarity color. Bonuses stack additively with individual item stats.


💀 Drop Sources

Hostile Mobs Every hostile mob has a configurable drop chance. Material tier scales with the mob's difficulty zone — skeletons don't drop Netherite, Wither Skeletons might.

Zone Material Ceiling
Overworld (basic) Iron
Overworld (structures) Gold
Nether Diamond
End / unlimited Netherite

Boss Mobs Elder Guardian, Wither, Ender Dragon, and Warden guarantee a drop with a configurable minimum rarity floor.

Vanilla Structures Strongholds, Bastions, End Cities, Jungle Temples, and more have a configurable chance to contain an RPGLoot weapon in their loot chests.


🎯 Combat Feedback

Every hit tells a story:

  • Floating damage numbers — color-coded per type, rise above the target
  • 🩸 Bleed ticks show separate red numbers
  • 💚 Lifesteal pulses green healing numbers on the attacker
  • 💥 Crits show enlarged gold numbers
  • ⚡ Smash hits show splash damage on nearby targets
  • Particle effects for crits, lifesteal, bleeds, and mace smash rings

⚙️ Configuration

Everything is tunable in config.yml — no recompile needed:

# Drop chances
drop-chance: 0.15
boss-drop-chance: 1.0

# Rarity weights (higher = more common)
rarity-weights:
  COMMON: 50
  UNCOMMON: 25
  RARE: 15
  HERO: 7
  LEGENDARY: 3

# Structure loot

Per-mob overrides, multiplier ranges per rarity tier, and boss minimum rarity are all configurable.
