Minetest Forums

This mod adds treasure chests randomly to the landscape and underground. Their contents can vary wildly. This mod requires minetest version 0.5 or later.

Chests will show up on any ground surface with air, water, or snow above it. By default, there's about a 1/30 chance of one in each chunk of terrain (either above or below ground). Their contents are determined in much the same way dungeon chests are filled, and use the same loot table. (See the minetest_game documentation.)

Chests will summon monsters to defend them, if you're using the nmobs or mobs_redo mods. They also have a chance of poisoning you (if my status mod is in use), turning into a lit TNT block (if tnt is in use), or dropping you into a deep pit.

NOTE: This mod requires my status mod to poison anyone. It can be downloaded here: https://github.com/duane-r/status/archive/master.zip

/facepalm

Been looking for a simple treasure mod. Thank you for writing this, I'll try it!

If you're looking for a texture to differentiate these chests from regular ones there's a good scruffy old chest in the MT-TNG game

Nice! This may just be the first Booty mod with Booby traps.
Only you duane... only you. :)

How can i limit treasures only appearing underground?
Tried setting local max_depth = 31000 to negative number chests still spawned above

Heh, heh, heh.

I added a working max_depth in the init.lua.

Could you add a min_depth as well? :)

duane, are you interested in integrating the animated chest Nathan and I put together?
My thoughts are, right click to open, then if a good surprise a "ta-da" sound effect

If a bad surprise, the "wah wah wah wah wahhhhhh" sound effect?

And, if the treasure is good, the player can then also keep the chest to use wherever they like?

IDK, just some random ideas which popped into my head looking at this.

Either way, just let me know. thanks

I'm not really interested in that, but if you want to add the options, I'll try to fit them in.

Well, it's easy to find them if you found one. Just walk straight north, south... and you find the next. And I think it is a little bit to much loot. I found a diamond sword, a diamond picaxe, lots ot seeds, wood, flor and other stuff in just 2 or 3 ingame days

uh. uh. how deh? dimond stuff?!

It doesn't work that way on my system. Here's a sample of coffer placement. It's pretty random:

coffer at 304,-43,948
coffer at 300,-97,1078
coffer at 407,2,1008
coffer at 451,1,1063
coffer at 498,-5,1149
coffer at 385,-45,1093
coffer at 476,-11,874
coffer at 423,-75,876
coffer at 385,9,1180
coffer at 299,49,1247
coffer at 376,-54,1240

Everyone's going to have different opinions about that. Just monkey with the loot table until you get something you like. You could even remove anything valuable if you want.

Hm, strange. I really had the situation that I just need to walk straight in one direction to find the next chest. And sometimes the chests are full. There where stacks of 90 cotton seeds or wood, wool in different colours...

I'll try to reproduce that

Booty chests will now attract guardian monsters fairly rapidly. These are selected from any mobs_redo mobs you have available and need not be appropriate for the area. However underwater chests will only spawn water-dwellers and chests in bright light will not summon anything that's allergic to sunlight.

The guardians will usually be appropriate to the chest's contents' value. However, occasionally something will be chosen completely at random.

I've also added a way to increase the number of chests spawning in any chunk and reduced the maximum amount of goods that will show up.

Added a treasure finding mirror. (This is loads of fun.) Punch with it and you'll get a chat message about the nearest treasure chest, if any. If you have inspire installed, you can make one, otherwise you'll have to find it in an chest.



While I was at it, I updated the chest placement so that you don't have to double-click to open.

nice. but why did you craft this with light bulbs?

azekill_DIABLO wrote:nice. but why did you craft this with light bulbs?

Because the fluorescent tubes contain toxic mercury.

okay then... looks maybe a bit Highres for the game!

I've modified booty to use the same loot table as the dungeon_loot mod in the latest minetest_game code. This means the most recent version of booty requires minetest and minetest_game v0.5. This also means that booty loot will show up in standard dungeon chests.

At some point, I may try to replace standard dungeon chests with booty coffers, but the only advantage to that would be summoning monsters.

I've managed to patch a long-standing gennotify issue which prevented booty from placing coffers when the new dungeon_loot mod is running. Now both mods seem happy. Since the dungeon_loot loot table is a bit chincy, I've also increased the coffer spawn rate.

Seems like this thread is a bit too empty of feedback for what it does :D

It's kind of superfluous now that we have dungeon_loot. However, my coffers summon monsters. I could do that with ordinary chests, but people might not appreciate it.
