Enable Biome-Based Bonus Chest Loot

Prerequisites

Before the data pack can distribute biome-specific loot, you must enable the bonus chest world setting. This is required for the first mode of Various Starting Loot to function.

Steps

1. Create a new world or edit an existing one

2. Enable "Bonus Chest" in world settings before entering the world

3. Spawn into your world — you'll receive a bonus chest containing loot tailored to your spawn biome

4. Open the chest to collect your starting resources

What to Expect

Different biomes provide different starting items. Your spawn location determines which loot table activates, so spawning in a forest gives different gear than spawning in a desert or mountain biome. This encourages varied playstyles depending on where you land.

If you don't see a bonus chest, verify that the bonus chest setting was actually enabled before world creation — it won't work retroactively on existing worlds without it.
