# Commands Two commands: `/chest` for managing loot tables, `/populate` for using them. ## Building a loot table ``` /chest ``` Opens the menu. Make a table, drop items in, and give each one a weight. Higher weight means it turns up more often, so a weight of 10 appears roughly ten times as often as a weight of 1. Edited the files by hand instead? Pick up the changes without restarting: ``` /chest reload ``` ## Filling containers Everything within 50 blocks of you: ``` /populate nearby 50 my_loot_table ``` That's the one you'll use most. The others are for when you're not standing where the loot goes. **Around a specific point:** ``` /populate at world 0 64 0 200 dungeon_loot ``` World, then coordinates, then how far out, then the table. **Inside a box**, given two opposite corners: ``` /populate within world 100 60 100 150 70 150 dungeon_loot ``` You can use `~` for coordinates relative to where you're standing: ``` /populate within world ~-25 ~ ~-25 ~25 ~10 ~25 rare_drops ``` Console has to use real numbers, since it isn't standing anywhere. **Your WorldEdit selection**, if you have WorldEdit or FastAsyncWorldEdit: ``` /populate selection rare_drops ``` Radius can be anything from 1 to 2000. ## Mixing tables Name as many as you like and Chest draws from all of them together: ``` /populate nearby 100 common_drops rare_drops minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon ``` Vanilla tables work anywhere your own do. ## Changing what gets filled Flags go on the end. | Flag | What it does | |---|---| | `-c` | Include chests | | `-b` | Include barrels | | `-s` | Include shulker boxes | | `-f` | Fill containers even if they already have things in them | | `-w` | Empty containers before filling them | | `-l <n>` | Fewest items per container, default 3 | | `-h <n>` | Most items per container, default 6 | Say nothing about container types and you get chests and barrels. Some worked examples: ``` /populate nearby 100 dungeon_loot -c -f -l 2 -h 8 ``` Chests only, refill even the full ones, between 2 and 8 items each. ``` /populate at world 0 64 0 200 minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon my_custom_table -b -w ``` Barrels only, emptied first, stocked from a vanilla table and one of yours together. ``` /populate selection rare_drops common_drops -c -b -s -l 1 -h 4 ``` Everything in your WorldEdit selection, one to four items each. ## Quiet mode Filling a big area reports progress as it goes. To stop that: ``` /chest silent ``` Run it again to turn it back on. ## Checking the version ``` /chest version ``` ## Permissions | Permission | Covers | |---|---| | `lodestone.chest.commands.chest` | `/chest` and the menu | | `lodestone.chest.commands.reload` | `/chest reload` | | `lodestone.chest.commands.silent` | `/chest silent` | | `lodestone.chest.commands.populate` | Every `/populate` command | ## Related Pages - [[Chest/Server Owners/Overview]], what Chest does - [[Chest/Server Owners/Configuration]], where loot tables are kept
