What is Crates about?
Crates is a mod that adds fishing crates, a new loot type that can be obtained occasionally while fishing which can be opened to obtain a variety of items and blocks making them more easily accessible and renewable.
Features
Crates
Depending on where you fish, you will find different crates with unique loot. The main tiers you will find are Wooden, Copper, Iron and Diamond crates, with each tier being rarer than the other and having better loot. Biome exclusive ones are fairly uncommon and have loot tied to their respective biome groups.
New Enchantment
Unboxing is a new fishing rod enchantment that you can get sometimes when opening crates. It increases the odds of fishing up a crate, and goes up to Unboxing III.Data-driven
You can add your own crates with a simple data pack and resource pack. There is documentation here. Templates will be provided.
Future plans
The mod will receive a handful of updates focused on improving fishing even more, fishing crates being the main focus but plans can always change.

Terms of Use

This mod should not be used for any sort of system that requires real money on servers, sites and such.

Notes
This mod works with Sinytra Connector, it has been tested on a big modpack on Neoforge and works as intended. You should still be careful though, just in case.
Right now the mod does not implement other mod loot tables into it but we plan on having built in compatibility with various mods, mainly fabric ones.
