How to Troubleshoot Missing Loot Tables in EMI

EMI Loot Mod does not add a standalone menu or separate keybind of its own. Instead, it operates strictly as a plugin for the EMI Recipe and Item viewer, integrating chest, block, and mob drop tabs directly into your existing item lookup screens.

Verifying Your Setup

If you open your inventory and cannot see drop percentages or loot categories, check how your game and server are set up:

1. Confirm EMI is Active: Open your inventory and make sure the main EMI item sidebar appears on the screen. Without the base EMI viewer running, the loot plugin has nowhere to display its tabs.

2. Check Multiplayer Servers: Loot tables—especially chest pools modified by other mods or custom datapacks—are controlled by the world and server data. If you play on a multiplayer server and loot tabs are blank or missing modded chest drops, verify whether the mod is also installed on the server side so it can send loot table data to your client.

3. Test With a Vanilla Item: Look up a common vanilla drop like string, rotten flesh, or a saddle in the EMI sidebar. Checking how you obtain a known item confirms whether mob, block, and chest tabs are loading properly.
