[SOLVED][1.15.2] Loot table for block not recognized

Recommended Posts

Let's say my block is called mod_block for a new_block mod.

 

According to the documentation, Forge says I should use "LootTableList.register(new ResourceLocation("new_block", "mod_block"))" asuming that "mod_block" is a json file inside /assets/new_block/loot_tables/mod_block.json. The problem is that this method does not exist, and I've seen a lot of solutions stating that instead, just place the loot table under /data/new_block/loot_tables/blocks/ as one would do for a datapack, without the need of writing code (on a side note, I've tried placing it just under loot_tables/ too). Doing so, does not work for me, having a loot table like this.

 

I have looked at vanilla loot tables, and most (if not all) look like that. So why does Forge still have the instruction of using that method if it does not exist, and that location if it's suggested to do it under another one? Is there something else I need to add, so that Forge recognizes that loot table? (at least, it does recognize a recipe for that block under data/recipes/).

I don't know where you got the information that you have to use that method, but you don't it is automatic now. And it uses your registry name as the file name.

/assets/new_block/loot_tables/mod_block.json

It's not supposed to be assets/ it's data/modid/loot_tables/blocks/mod_block.json.

It says so in the documentation: https://mcforge.readthedocs.io/en/1.15.x/items/loot_tables/#registering-a-modded-loot-table

I know, I've tried that too and did not work for me. Could it be something about the file itself?

That's meant for other things. like entities and chests. not blocks. It doesn't say that it's required for blocks under the blocks section.

If it  is something about the file itself there will likely be an error in the console when you load up Minecraft.

I see now, thanks for clarifying that.

I searched through the logs, but there were no errors related to this. So I guess that too.

 

Could this be a problem related to having a lot of block states? Vanilla doesn't have different loot tables for each block state, so I don't think this could be the case. 

 

Otherwise, I don't see what else could be the problem nor how to fix it.
