◆ Bad Drop Rates Challenge ◆

Are you tired of getting everything handed to you in Minecraft? Bad Drop Rates Challenge turns the game into a brutal test of patience and resource management. By default, breaking blocks, killing mobs, and looting chests will often leave you completely empty-handed.


➔ Features

◆ Brutal RNG: Item drops are heavily restricted by a strict luck-check. ◆ Fully Customizable: You decide how hard it gets. Adjust the drop probabilities dynamically using simple functions. ◆ Full Game Coverage: Affects blocks, mob loot, and dungeon chests.


➔ Configuration (How to change Drop Rates)

You can adjust the difficulty at any time using one of the following commands:

◆ /function bad_luck:luck_30 ➔ 30% Bad Luck (70% Drop Rate)

◆ /function bad_luck:luck_50 ➔ 50% Bad Luck (50% Drop Rate)

◆ /function bad_luck:luck_70 ➔ 70% Bad Luck (30% Drop Rate)

◆ /function bad_luck:luck_90 ➔ 90% Bad Luck (10% Drop Rate)


➔ The Ultimate Goal

Can you still gather enough iron, food, and Ender Pearls to defeat the Ender Dragon when the odds are completely against you? Good luck – you will need it.
