About this project
What does Reduced Loot add?
🎁 ReducedLoot - Mod
Loot chests too generous? Make exploration meaningful again.
ReducedLoot cuts down the amount of items found in naturally generated loot chests across all structures - from vanilla dungeons to modded fortresses - bringing scarcity, balance, and challenge back to exploration-heavy modpacks.
Whether you're raiding a Bastion or looting a Waystone hut, you'll find less loot, but every item will matter more.

🔻 What it does
- 📉 Reduces the quantity of items in all generated loot chests
- 🔄 Works with vanilla and modded structures and loot tables
- ✅ Fully compatible with Lootr and most loot-handling mods
- ⚙️ Lightweight and configurable via the config file

💡 Perfect for players who want:
- A more survival- or progression-focused experience
- To slow down early-game gear power creep
- Balanced exploration in large or quest-driven modpacks
🧩 Compatible with:
- Lootr, Structory, When Dungeons Arise, Repurposed Structures, and more
- Does not override loot table definitions, only modifies output
- Seamlessly integrates with most structure generation and chest-modifying mods
📦 Lightweight. Configurable. Focused.
Because not every chest needs to feel like a jackpot.
