Defeat the mightiest bosses to earn ultra-powerful bags filled with max-enchanted Netherite gear and rare special items. Each boss has its own unique loot pool:

Dragon Bounty Bag — Dropped by the Ender Dragon (50% chance by default). Contains End-themed loot: Elytra, Dragon Egg, Totems, Enchanted Golden Apples, and max-enchanted Netherite.
Warden Bounty Bag — Dropped by the Warden (50% chance by default). Contains Deep Dark-themed loot: Totems, Heart of the Sea, Recovery Compass, Sculk Sensor, and max-enchanted Netherite.
Wither Bounty Bag — Dropped by the Wither (25% chance by default). Contains Nether-themed loot: Beacons, Nether Stars, Wither Skeleton Skulls, and max-enchanted Netherite.

Boss drop chances are fully configurable.

Key Features

Strategic drop rates for balanced progression across five tiers
Boss-exclusive bags for the Ender Dragon, Warden, and Wither — each with unique, ultra-powerful loot pools
Luck-based tier upgrades — having the Luck effect when opening a bag gives a chance to upgrade it to the next tier; supports diminishing returns and a configurable max number of upgrades per opening
Biome drop bonuses — mobs in the Nether and The End drop higher-tier bags more frequently (multipliers configurable per tier)
Per-mob drop multipliers — individually tune drop rates for Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, Spiders, and Endermen
Bag Recycling — combine lower-tier bags in a crafting grid to upgrade them (default: 9 Uncommon → 1 Rare, 9 Rare → 1 Epic, 9 Epic → 1 Legendary)
Dedicated loot tables for each regular bag tier, fully replaceable via datapacks
Custom loot config — optionally define per-tier loot item lists directly in the config file instead of using loot tables
Mob whitelist mode — toggle between all hostile mobs dropping bags or a specific whitelist of allowed mob types
Right-click to open bags directly from your hand
Configurable stack size (default: 16, up to 64)
Full multiplayer compatibility
Debug logging mode for server owners to troubleshoot drop behavior
