Random Block Drops
A data pack that randomizes block drops in the game, could you beat Minecraft this way?
Описание
⛏️ What is this?
Break any block and it can drop pretty much anything in the game — not just what that block normally gives. Mine dirt and you might walk away with a diamond sword. Mine stone and maybe you get an elytra. It's loot-box mining.
Mobs still drop their normal vanilla loot — this only touches blocks.
🎲 How the odds work
There are 367 possible drops on 1.21 – 26.2 (361 on 1.20.x, 353 on 1.16 – 1.19, and 452 on 26.3, which adds the new Wilderness Bound items like poplar wood, cushions, straw beds and wool/concrete stairs and slabs), from common stuff (sticks, seeds, wool) all the way up to legendary (elytra, dragon egg, nether star). The rarer the block, the better your odds:
| Block type | Good luck? |
|---|---|
| Dirt, sand, gravel, leaves | Mostly basic stuff |
| Stone, wood, cobblestone | A bit better |
| Coal, iron, redstone, copper | Now we're talking |
| Gold ore | Pretty good odds |
| Diamond, emerald, ancient debris | Coin flip on something great |
Every tree is covered, including pale oak. Silk Touch doesn't stop this — that's on purpose.
🍀 Fortune makes you luckier
The Fortune enchantment on the tool you mine with improves your drops. Every level shifts the odds towards rare, epic and legendary items, and away from common ones, all the way up to Fortune X. Levels above III — from commands or datapacks like Sneak Enchant — keep scaling instead of stopping at III; anything above X counts as X. The pool of items itself never changes — only how likely each rarity is.
Example, mining a diamond-tier block (diamond, emerald, ancient debris) on 1.21 – 26.2:
| Tool | Legendary drop | Epic or legendary |
|---|---|---|
| No Fortune | 1 in 49 | 1 in 7 |
| Fortune I | 1 in 35 | 1 in 6 |
| Fortune II | 1 in 25 | 1 in 5 |
| Fortune III | 1 in 19 | 1 in 4 |
| Fortune IV | 1 in 14 | 1 in 3 |
| Fortune V | 1 in 11 | 1 in 3 |
| Fortune X | 1 in 4 | 1 in 2 |
It works on every block, not just ores — a Fortune III pickaxe on plain dirt takes a legendary from about 1 in 7,000 to about 1 in 1,250, and Fortune X takes it to about 1 in 33. Mining with your bare hand or a tool without Fortune works exactly like before. You still get exactly one item per block.
💥 Explosions
Blocks destroyed by TNT, creepers, beds, end crystals or the Wither follow vanilla's rule: each block only drops with a chance of 1 divided by the explosion radius. Mining by hand or with any tool always drops exactly one item.
🔗 Works with Sneak Enchant
Sneak Enchant has no enchantment level cap, and Random Block Drops reads every level of it: a Fortune pickaxe that levels up with each sneak keeps improving your drops all the way to Fortune X.
🏆 Achievements
24 custom advancements to chase: full armor and tool sets (iron, gold, diamond, netherite — plus chainmail), all 6 mob heads, all the music discs in the loot pool, beating the Wither and the Ender Dragon with the pack turned on, and getting your hands on a legendary drop — or all five of them. Fortune Hunter rewards collecting coal, redstone, lapis lazuli, nether quartz, a diamond and an emerald — the six drops Fortune is made for.
✅ Compatibility
The pack comes in two files — grab the one that matches your Minecraft version:
- 1.16.x – 1.19.x → the 1.16 – 1.19 download
- 1.20.x – 26.3 (including 1.21.x, 26.1 and 26.2) → the main download
Each file switches versions automatically behind the scenes, so you don't have to think about it beyond picking the right one. On some older versions Minecraft may show a "made for a different version" warning — it's just a label, the pack works normally. Snapshots and pre-releases aren't officially supported.
Coming from 2.x? Version 2.3 and earlier covered 1.19.x in the main file. From 3.0 on, 1.19.x is handled by the 1.16 – 1.19 file, and the main file starts at 1.20.
📥 Install
Drop the .zip into your world's datapacks/ folder (no need to unzip it), then run /reload or restart the world. You'll get a chat message confirming it's active. Updating? Delete the old version from that folder first.
