Overview

Chance Cubes (mod id chancecubes) is a game of chance built out of breakable blocks. A Chance Cube looks like a die covered in question marks; break it and it triggers exactly one random reward - anything from a chest full of loot, useful items or a helpful structure to a trap such as an explosion, a swarm of silverfish or a bedrock prank.

What makes it more than a coin flip:

  • Every cube hides a chance value between -100 and +100 that skews its reward pool good or bad.
  • Items exist to read and rig the odds - a scanner shows a cube's chance value, and pendants shift chance or select rewards outright.
  • Bigger gambles exist - the 3×3×3 Giant Chance Cube and the twenty-sided Chance Icosahedron raise the stakes.
  • The reward pool is extendable - server owners and mapmakers add their own rewards with plain JSON config files.

The original mod is by TheTurkeyDev (github.com/TheTurkeyDev/ChanceCubes), released under the GPL-3.0 license; this build's source remains available under the same terms.
