Minecraft 1.10 DeathLootTable?

Solution 1:

The default loot tables are located in assets\minecraft\loot_tables within your Minecraft jar. Find the one you want to alter (e.g: entities\creeper.json) then copy it to data\loot_tables\minecraft\... (create the folders if they don't exist) in your world folder:

The first folder after data\loot_tables is called a "namespace" and loot tables must all be within one (you cannot place a loot table directly into data\loot_tables). In this case I'm using the minecraft namespace to overwrite the creeper's loot table.

If you don't want to overwrite the default drops for all of a certain type of mob, but instead want to summon specific mods with this new loot table, you should place the loot tables into another namespace, such as realordsloottables.

If you open up the loot table, it should look something like this:

If you want to edit these manually, I'd recommend looking at some of the default ones for examples, and reading this wiki page. There's a lot of things you can do and it's all already documented there.

To manually add a new item, you could copy paste the item already in this pool, and change its name. Here, I've given the creeper a possibility to drop between 16 and 32 stone:

I'd recommend using a generator to simplify the process, then copy and pasting the output into the loot table:

• Minecraft.Tools's generator has an easy interface, but doesn't allow for all of the features loot tables offer (see Skylinerw's post)
• MrPingouin's generator is feature-complete and up to date

After changing and saving the loot table, the mob's drops should now be changed. If you saved it in a custom namespace because you want it to only affect certain mobs, then you should summon the mobs like this:

/summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {DeathLootTable:"namespacename:folder/loottablename"}
