Minecraft Loot Table Generator

A loot table decides what comes out of a chest, a mob or a fishing rod. It is a JSON file inside a data pack, not a command you can type, so this builder gives you the file and tells you where it goes. Set up pools, weights and count ranges here instead of hand-writing number providers.

Table

Table type Namespace File name

The table type tells Minecraft what context it is rolled in. A chest table cannot use mob-only conditions, which is a common reason a table looks right and never fires.

Pools

Each pool rolls independently. Within a pool, weight decides the odds — a weight of 10 against a weight of 1 means ten times as likely, not ten percent.

How to use the file

Save the JSON at the path shown above, inside your data pack.
Run /reload.
Test with /loot give @s loot harbor:harbor_dungeon

That /loot command reads an existing table — it does not create one. It is the fastest way to check your odds without hunting for a real chest.

Version note

Minecraft 1.21 renamed the folder from loot_tables to loot_table. On 1.21+ a table in the old folder is simply never read, with no error shown.
