LootTable Manager is a Minecraft mod that allows you to add, replace, or customize loot tables for any block that contains an inventory, including vanilla blocks and blocks added by other mods (furniture, cupboards, drawers, shelves, etc.).
The mod is designed to give server owners and modpack creators full control over loot generation using simple and clean JSON configuration files, without needing datapacks or code changes.
Each loot table is defined in a JSON file named exactly after the block ID.
mcwfurnitures_acacia_bookshelf.json
This file controls the loot generated inside:

🔹 This loot table randomly generates books, paper, and rare items inside the block.
🔹 weight controls item probability.
🔹 rolls defines how many items are selected per interaction.
Loot respawn is controlled by a dedicated JSON file.
Each block can have its own cooldown time (in seconds) before the loot can regenerate.

"mcwfurnitures:acacia_bookshelf": 180,
"mcwfurnitures:acacia_drawer": 120,
