Loot, Mobs, and Trades

VortexEnchantments can feed enchantments into normal gameplay loops through mob drops, loot chests, and villager trades.

Mob Drops

Config files:

config.yml
mob_drops.yml

Important settings:

Setting Purpose
mob-drops.enabled Main toggle in config.yml.
enabled Main toggle in mob_drops.yml.
global-drop-multiplier Multiplies all configured mob drop chances.
mobs.<mob>.drop-chance Drop chance for one mob.
mobs.<mob>.rarity-weights Rarity distribution for that mob.

Boss Drops

The default config includes stronger rewards for bosses such as:

  • Ender Dragon.
  • Wither.
  • Warden.
  • Elder Guardian.

Use boss drops for Legendary and Mythic rewards.

Loot Table Injection

Config path:

loot-tables

Important settings:

  • enabled
  • injection-chance

This system adds enchanted rewards to world-generated loot sources.

Villager Trades

Config path:

villager

Important settings:

  • enabled
  • replace-chance

Use this carefully on economy servers. Easy librarian access can reduce the value of rare books.

Balance Tips

  • Keep normal mob drop chances low.
  • Use rarity weights instead of high global multipliers.
  • Make boss rewards exciting but not mandatory for basic progression.
  • Disable drops in farm-heavy worlds if needed.
