About Chance & Choice

From Modrinth

A mod about random chance and gaming. Features throwable coins and dice, and word generators. Also adds a D&D-inspired Deck of Many Things. Now improved for Minecraft version 1.21.8+!

Chance & Choice

Description

This mod includes a variety of items that output random letters, numbers, and symbols. Useful for roleplay and idea generation! Also includes rare items that grant special effects.

Features (as of version 1.21.8-1.3.0):

  • Chance Token: Crafting item. Can be used at a Chance Table to link yourself to that table, allowing you to receive Chance Table rolls/flips/draws to chat. Potentially grants a random potion effect when linking (configurable).
  • Chance Table: Up to 20 players (configurable) can be linked to a Chance Table, allowing rolls/flips/draws that occur at that Chance Table to be shared in chat.
  • Gamer Villager: Uses the Chance Table as a workstation. Trades a variety of items. Villager trading is no longer required to progress in the mod.
  • Big Die: Throwable and dispensable, creates a Big Die block facing a random direction where it lands. Crafted from/uncrafted into 9 Chance Tokens.
  • Coins (Wooden, Stone, Copper, Iron, Golden, Diamond, Netherite): Throwable, dyeable, and craftable. Outputs a random side.
  • Dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20, D100): Throwable, dyeable, and craftable. Outputs a random number.
  • Game Master's Coins/Dice: Throwable, dyeable, and grant Luck and Haste on Heads/max roll, Bad Luck and Mining Fatigue on Tails/roll of 1. Can be looted from Ominous Vaults (configurable).
  • Bag of Letters: Outputs a random letter. Can possibly be traded with Gamer Villager to get bags of words. Dyeable and craftable.
  • Deck of Blank Cards: Crafting item. Can be used to lock a Chance Table, preventing more users from linking. Can also unlock a Chance Table if the user is linked to that table.
