Getting More Variety Out of Dungeon Crawl Loot Pools

How Variety Is Produced

The integration widens Dungeon Crawl chests by pulling from comparable vanilla loot tables. Those vanilla tables are the shared hub that most content mods hook into, so the more mods you run that add to them, the richer your dungeon loot becomes. The integration itself does not invent items; it redirects and blends existing pools.

Practical Ways to Increase Variety

1. Add content mods that register their gear into vanilla chest tables. Mods that only add crafting recipes without loot-table hooks will not show up.

2. Avoid stacking multiple loot-overhaul datapacks on the same structures, since they compete for the same tables and reduce rather than increase variety.

3. Keep the integration loaded after Dungeon Crawl so its edits are not overwritten.

4. Explore different Dungeon Crawl structure types. Each structure tier maps to a different comparable vanilla table, so a low-tier room and a boss room will not share the same pool.

Testing Your Setup

Generate a small test world, find one Dungeon Crawl structure, and open every chest. Note which mods' items appear. If a mod you expected is missing, its loot is likely not injected into vanilla tables, so the integration has no source to draw from. Adjust your mod list rather than the integration's config.
