Random Drop Assistant

⚠️ This is no longer maintained and has been merged into TrulyRandom

This is a mod that provides a hierarchical drop-tracking graph for Minecraft with random drops.

The Red Book

Inside the survival inventory, there is a new book next to the recipe book. This is the loot table tracking book.

Loot Table Tracking

• The book will automatically track loot tables that have been found in the world.
  • This includes block breaking, entity killing, fishing, chest looting, and more.
  • The book will also track recipes you have crafted and blocks you interact with in the world.
    • This includes stripping logs, waxing copper, and more.
    • Crafting recipes and interactions are tracked so that you can see the paths you took to get to a specific item.
• All tracking is done via a custom implementation of the in-game statistics system so there is no need to worry about data loss.
  • Consequently, unless this mod is installed server-side, the book will not be able to track loot tables as statistics are stored server-side.

Red Book Display

• The red book will open up a new widget to the right of the inventory, closing the recipe book if it is open.
  • This widget will contain a list of every loot table that has been discovered, i.e. the loot table to get diamonds.
  • Each loot table entry will have a preview of "Best Source == Number of Steps ==> Target Item"
    • The "Best Source" is the block, entity or recipe that is naturally found (if possible) and has the least number of steps to get to the target item.
  • Clicking on a loot table entry will open up that loot table's graph above the inventory.
• There is a settings button in the top right which will take you to the mod's settings.

Loot Table Graph

• The loot table graph will show the target item you selected in the red book.
  • In the top left, there will be an icon indicating what your current target item is and a compass which you can click to re-center the graph on the target item.
  • The graph will contain nodes and arrows connecting the nodes.
    • Right-click a node to highlight the path from that node to the target item.
    • Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

Settings

The settings menu can be accessed by clicking the settings button in the top right of the red book.

• Unbroken Stars (default: on)
  • Display star icons on unbroken blocks
• Silk-Touch Stars (default: on)
  • Display star icons on broken but not silk-touched blocks
  • Requires Unbroken Stars to be on
• Enable Override (default: off)
  • Enable all undiscovered loot tables
  • This is not permanent and can be disabled at any time
• Randomize Colours (default: off)
  • Randomize world and entity colours (Cosmetic)
• Search Depth (default: 6)
  • The maximum number of steps to search for a path to the target item
  • Increasing this will increase the size of the graph and time it takes to generate the graph, thus, values over 15 are not recommended
• Highlight Radius (default 5)
  • The radius for how many blocks (that are unbroken) are highlighted when holding down the highlight key (default v)
  • Values over 10 are not recommended when surrounded by a lot of unbroken blocks as highlighting blocks is somewhat intensive
