I looked around the forums, but didn't see anything, so my apologies if this is already done.
I see all sorts of adventure mods out there, and lots of people doing adventure designs.
But what I don't find is a mod that places a chest, with a few random items in it.
I'm developing a large world, with several towns, and (so far) about 5 dungeons. Some of which are big.
Also got a ghost town, and an abandoned castle.
I've been placing "treasure chests" for people to find, but manually filling chests is annoying and time consuming. I'm wondering if anyone out there has a mod, has found a mod, or knows of a mod, that will let me put a chest with random items in it.
Well, pretty much any loot is good. I'm thinking mostly like iron bars and such. But the occasional enchanted item, diamonds, or any of the "harder to get" items would be great as occasional loot as well. Armor, weapons, and tools are good as well, as they break and eveyone needs more of them. Even a "level" selector for the chest would be awesome as well. That way you can have "boss" chests, or some chests with level 1 enchantments or wood items, and another with level 3 enchantments on iron or diamond items, that kind of thing.
Of course, I have no idea how hard it would be to do the coding. I just figured there was a market for "random loot", with all the adventure maps out there. I know I'd love one.
As for getting them to spawn, I really don't care how they spawn. I'm manually making the dungeons, and will manually place the chests (most likely), it's just really time consuming to also place all the items in each chest. Takes long enough to craft the dungeons / ghost towns. So, if putting dirt above and below where you want the chest to spawn, that works for me.
EDIT: Here's a list of things I've thought of for random treasure in chests:
Iron/gold bars, diamonds, and other "normally found" crafting materials
Blaze Rods, Ender Pearls, and other "monster" drops.
Various weapons, armor, and tools
Enchanted weapons, armor, and tools
Assorted potions
Basically, anything in the game would make a good item for a treasure chest. But I would love "unattainables" too (such as enchanted items and potions) to have a chance of appearing.
Of course, rare items should be less frequent or in the "boss" chests.

What im working on generates the chests when the world generates. I dont think it is exactly what you looking for. I could make it work how you were thinking but that would take too much time. It would be easier to just place items by yourself.
sorry if i'm not helping much.

(this can easily be changed)
I also have it generating random loot inside but right now it just has dungeon loot. (once again this can be easily changed)
If you could give me ideas for things to spawn and where a better place to spawn the chest would be I will happily code this.
