hello, am program. do language in rust. make computer do. okay i go now.
The problem with mods which randomly select an item from literally all possible items is that there is quite a chance that the player obtains a node which the player is NEVER EVER supposed to get, because the node is only used internally, it would screw things up if the player possessed it directly, etc.
Examples: air, ignore, doors:hidden (hidden door segment), farming:wheat_3, etc.
I think a good heuristic would be by filtering out any item with an empty or nil description, and items with not_in_creative_inventory=1. Granted, this will also filter out some legit items, but at least you can be pretty sure the player does not get any “forbidden” items.
I wish there would be a possibilty for modders to tell modders “this item is not for the inventory”, but sadly, this is not possible yet. :-/
Also, do you actually intend a totally random item, i.e. equal probabiliy for all items? Or would you actually like it more if some itesm would be more likely than others?
In my first few tries, I managed to get an ignore. xD
Other notes:
- The ka-ching sound is evil, it does not mean anything. It can still explode afterwards. :( Maybe this is the joke (you intended it)? xD
- In inventory it looks like a coal ore. Maybe try to change the looks of the first animation frame so the block looks different from coal ore
- I would like it more if the animation would be more customized anyway (instead of just plugging existing Minetest Game images together). But basing the texture on stone is OK IMO
- Block sounds are missing (footstep sounds, dig sound, dug sound)
- BUG: If you mine a lucky ore, then quickly run far away (so that the entity gets unloaded), you'll contiue to hear the sound forever. If you return, a NEW lucky ore sound can be heard. Repeat this again and again and it becomes louder and louder until your ears bleed. XD
- BUG? If you run away after mining a lucky block (so that the entity gets unloaded), it seems the timer is reset when you return. Not sure, please verify this for yourselves.
EDIT:
- I think the spawn rate is quite high. You very soon find caves full of these. I think it should be a bit rarer. And I think it also would be better if lucky ores always spawn alone, never in groups. This is because digging multiple lucky ores in quick succession can get quite noisy soon

I like the fact that you can get unobtainable able items its fun also since there are SO many possibility's its fine to have a ton of them spawning just make sure you have a lot of inventory space when you go mining for them or at least have some sort of bag/portable chest/ backpack mod (I suggest inventory bags) or else your inventory will get filled with random items
its sorta addicting to open them as you never know what your gona get

I had the same attitude as I wrote trm_generic
But in fact Wuzzy has right (again), some items should not be obtainable. For example the realchess mod adds chess items that used only internally because the game board is implemented technically as inventory. This items never ever should be used in players inventory.
Maybe you just use the treasurer framework too in your lucky-ore to manage the treasures? Otherwise you can copy my item filters to your mod.

true though I have modified this mod to add lucky blocks which drop about 30-40 random items exactly like the ore but with no explosions I have filled several walls of technic golden chests and have never once gotten any chess pieces or items that were only used as buttons in inventories(including tetris mod, robot mod, and chess mod)
