Frequently asked questions

How do I enable the data pack in my world?
During world creation, click 'Data Packs' and drag the Every Block Drop is Random pack into the 'Selected' column, then create your world. If you're adding it to an existing world, place the pack file in your world's datapacks folder and run `/reload` in chat.
Does this work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, the data pack works on both singleplayer and multiplayer servers. All players will experience randomized drops from the same blocks, though each player's drops are independent.
What blocks are affected by the randomization?
Every breakable block in your world has randomized drops, including common blocks like dirt, stone, wood, and grass, as well as ores and other materials. Bedrock and other unbreakable blocks are not affected.
Can I get netherite or diamonds from breaking dirt?
Yes, that's the core feature—rare items like netherite, diamonds, and enchanted gear can drop from any block, including basic ones like dirt or sand. Drop rates vary, so rare items are less common but still possible.
