Lootrmon: Lootr & Cobblemon Gilded Chest Compatibility in All the Mons

Lootrmon is a small compatibility mod that connects Lootr with Cobblemon's gilded chests. If you've been opening gilded chests in the pack and wondering why they behave like Lootr chests, this is the mod behind it.^[1]

Gilded chests are converted into gilded loot chests. Once you've opened one, it looks different, so you can tell at a glance which ones you've already looted.^[1]

What you get

• Personalized loot: each player sees unique loot, generated specifically for them.^[1]
• Faithful to Vanilla: it uses the exact same loot generation code as Vanilla.^[1]
• Near-universal: it's compatible with almost every feature and structure, Vanilla or modded.^[1]
• Server-friendly: it reduces server sizes by removing the need to constantly explore for new structures.^[1]

Who it's for

It's most useful if you play on a server or with friends, since everyone gets their own loot instead of racing for the same chest. It also works fine solo.^[1]

In this pack

The pack ships version 1.21.1-0.0.0.3 of the NeoForge build. The mod requires Lootr and has to be installed on both servers and clients. The mod is released under the MIT License.^[1][2]

Unverified The sources don't show any in-pack quests, recipes or config options for this mod, and it doesn't appear on the ATM Star path. How it fits into the pack's progression is therefore unverified.

Lootrmon is a compatibility mod, so there's nothing to craft first. It works in the background to make Cobblemon's gilded chests behave like Lootr chests. Your first steps are making sure it's set up properly, then finding a gilded chest and opening it.^[1]

Step by step

1. Make sure Lootr is installed. Lootrmon requires it, and the pack needs both for gilded chests to be converted.^[1]
2. If you run a server, remember that Lootrmon is required on both the server and the clients. Every player who joins needs it too.^[1]
3. Go exploring and find a gilded chest. Lootrmon converts gilded chests into gilded loot chests.^[1]
4. Open the chest. The loot is generated specifically for you, so each player sees their own.^[1]
5. Look at the chest afterwards. Once a gilded chest has been opened, it has a unique appearance, so you can tell which ones you've already looted.^[1]

What to expect

The mod uses the same loot generation code as Vanilla, so what you find is generated the same way as in the base game. It's also described as compatible with almost every feature and structure, Vanilla or modded.^[1]

Because everyone gets their own loot, you don't have to race other players to a chest. The mod's page also says this reduces the need to constantly explore for new structures on a server.^[1]

Unverified No crafting recipes or quests for Lootrmon's items could be confirmed in this pack, so there's no recipe or quest to follow here. Treat opening gilded chests as the whole getting-started loop for now.

Lootrmon isn't a tech mod. It has no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. It's a compatibility layer between Lootr and Cobblemon's gilded chests, so the mechanics here are about how loot gets handed out to players.^[1]

What the mod does

Gilded chests are converted into gilded loot chests. Once a gilded chest has been opened, it gets a unique appearance, so you can tell at a glance that you've already looted it.^[1]

How loot works

• Personalized loot: each player sees unique loot, generated specifically for them. You don't have to race other players to a chest.^[1]
• Faithful to Vanilla: loot is generated with the exact same code Vanilla uses.^[1]
• Near-universal: it's compatible with almost every feature and structure, Vanilla or modded.^[1]
• Server-friendly: servers don't need to keep exploring for new structures, which helps keep world sizes down.^[1]

Requirements

Lootrmon needs Lootr, which is available for NeoForge and Fabric. The mod must be installed on both the server and the clients.^[1]

Unverified The mod's project page says many features can be customized and points to an FAQ, but that FAQ isn't available here. The pack also has no config files for this mod, so I can't confirm any settings, which structures or chests are affected, or how the gilded loot chest looks once opened.

There isn't much history to cover yet. All the Mons 1.3.0 ships Lootrmon: Lootr & Cobblemon Gilded Chest Compatibility at version 1.21.1-0.0.0.3, and it was already in the pack in 1.2.0 or earlier. I don't have the exact release where it first appeared.^[2]

Version 1.21.1-0.0.0.3

This is the version your pack uses. The mod's own changelog for it is short, and the copy I have is cut off partway through, so the list below may be incomplete. These are the entries I can read:^[2][3]

• Custom gilded loot chests were added.^[3]
• A Fabric compilation problem was fixed. This only concerns the Fabric build, and your pack uses the NeoForge jar.^[2][3]
• The version was bumped for release, along with a bump to the latest dependencies.^[3]

I have no pack changelog entries for this mod, so I can't say how it changed between All the Mons releases. If you want to know more, the mod's own changelog is the place to look.^[2][3]
