THE recent third party support: Online creation and edition of loot tables

By default, Better Loot does exclude (true) HeliCrates and not include (false) SupplyDrops

Instead of using the game's default loot tables, Better Loot overrides any barrels and crates a player loots with something (hopefully) better.

• can override _optionally _heli crates and SupplyDrops
• can use _optionally _extra loot tables for heli crates and SupplyDrops
• can spawn for each type up to 30 items!!!
• works lag-free together with FancyDrop

Chat Commands

• Type /blacklist to retrieve information about which items are blacklisted.
• As owner, type /blacklist [additem|deleteitem|addbp|deletebp] "item_name" to add an item to or delete it from the blacklist. Make sure to add both the item and its blueprint if you intend to blacklist an item entirely.

Item Reference

To give you a reference to include missing items, you can use the file NamesList.json, which inludes all items and their stacksizes, and those which are not included by default in the tables.

Add/Remove Items

Easy ADD not included or REMOVE unwanted items from any table, save the file and do reload.

By default, BetterLoot includes most loot container types, like shown in default config:
