OreLoot

What is OreLoot?

OreLoot gives you full control over block and entity drops on your Minecraft server.
Customize what blocks drop when broken — from diamonds dropping emeralds to iron ore dropping custom items. You define the rules, the chances, and the quantities

Features

• Define custom drops per block type
• Multiple items can drop from a single block
• Configurable drop chances (e.g. 30% diamond, 70% iron ingot)
• Fixed or random drop amounts (e.g. always 4, or 1–3)
• World-specific configurations
• JSON-based storage for persistent rules
• Live reload without restarting the server
• Simple and intuitive command system

The file is automatically loaded on server startup and saved when changes are made or the server stops.
