Lootr Bigger Chest

Expand the capacity of all containers in the Lootr mod, supporting fixed sizes or weighted random sizes.

Compatible Containers

Dependencies

Minecraft 1.20.1

Forge 47.3+

Lootr 0.7+

Configuration
The configuration file is located at config/lootrbiggerchest-common.toml.

Fixed Size

["chest"]

  rows = 3  # 1 ~ 20
  columns = 9  # 1 ~ 32

The four container types (chest, barrel, shulker box, chest minecart) are configured independently.

Random Size
If a random_capacity list is configured, the fixed rows and columns are ignored. A size is randomly selected from the list based on weight:

["chest"]

random_capacity = ["3,9,50", "6,9,30", "9,12,20"]

# Format: "rows,columns,weight"

# Leave empty to use the fixed rows and columns.

Each container's size is determined the first time it is opened and then saved persistently.

Notes

Configuration changes take effect immediately; no restart is required.

Existing old containers retain the size that was determined when they were first opened.

The container GUI automatically adapts to different sizes.

Lootr Bigger Chest

Expands all Lootr container inventories beyond the default 27 slots (3x9).

Features

• Four container types: Chests, Barrels, Shulker Boxes, and Chest Minecarts -- every Lootr container is covered
• Fixed size mode: Configure rows (1-20) and columns (1-32) per container type
• Weighted random pools: Assign multiple sizes with weights to each container type for varied loot experiences
• Per-type configuration: Each container type has independent settings
• Persistent sizes: Container dimensions are saved to NBT on first open and survive reloads
• Custom GUI: A scrollable 9-column container screen that adapts to any configured size

Why use this?

If you feel the standard 27-slot Lootr chests are too limiting -- especially in modpacks with hundreds of items -- this mod lets you freely expand them. The random size system also adds an element of surprise to dungeon exploration.

Dependencies

• Lootr (required) -- 0.7.34+
• Minecraft Forge 1.20.1

Configuration

Run the game once and edit config/lootrbiggerchest-common.toml. You can set fixed rows/columns or define random size pools for each container type.
