Loot Vases
Transform your Minecraft world into a treasure hunter's paradise with the Loot Vases add-on. This clever modification scatters breakable vases across the Overworld, Nether, and End, each one holding a surprise that can range from a handful of precious nuggets to a furious boss fight. Whether you are a cautious explorer or a reckless adventurer, every vase you encounter promises a moment of suspense and reward.
What Are Loot Vases?
Loot Vases are decorative yet functional blocks that spawn naturally in specific biomes and structures. Unlike standard Minecraft pots, these vases are not just for show. When you break one, it instantly drops its contents, which could be anything from a simple emerald nugget to a hostile creature determined to end your journey. The add-on introduces a risk-versus-reward system that keeps exploration fresh and exciting, especially for players who love the thrill of the unknown.
Vase Types and Their Secrets
Each vase type is tied to a particular environment and loot table. Knowing where to look and what to expect can mean the difference between a quick profit and a sudden death.
Emerald Vase
Found almost everywhere except the End, the Emerald Vase is the most common and the safest. Breaking it yields emerald nuggets, making it a reliable source of early-game currency. No monsters, no traps, just pure profit.
Gold Vase
Spawning in mesa biomes and the Nether, the Gold Vase drops golden nuggets. However, beware: a greedy leprechaun may be hiding inside, ready to defend its hoard. Strike it and gold nuggets may fly out, but kill the creature for even better rewards.
Cave Vase
Deep underground in mineshafts and corrupt soul lairs, the Cave Vase offers iron nuggets, torches, or a hungry cave spider. It is a welcome sight when you are low on light sources, but always be prepared for a skittering surprise.
Diamond Vase
Exclusive to the End dimension (but not the main dragon island), the Diamond Vase is the most lucrative. It can drop diamond nuggets, angry endermites, or the ultra-rare amethyst nugget. The 1% chance for amethyst makes these vases highly sought after by end-game players.
Haunted Vase
Found only in Corrupt Soul Lairs, this vase radiates danger. It sets fire to anything that gets too close and, when broken, explodes and releases a Corrupt Soul, a deadly boss that forces the world into night and rain while summoning other monsters. Defeating it yields the Amethyst Soul, a key crafting component.
Gift Vase
A festive variant that can drop any loot from the other vases but in richer quantities. It may also spawn Corrupt Soul minions or the boss itself. Breaking a Gift is always a gamble worth taking.
Powerful Amethyst Gear and Tools
Amethyst is the ultimate reward for brave adventurers. This rare resource can be obtained by slaying a Corrupt Soul or from the 1% drop chance in Diamond Vases. With it, you can craft a full set of gear that grants permanent Speed II and Jump Boost II, an Amethyst Sword that occasionally summons loyal Enderman Minions to fight alongside you, and an Amethyst Wand that fires levitation pearls to send mobs floating helplessly. The Corrupt Chestplate, forged from the boss's essence, offers immense protection, while the Heart of Ender conjures four minions at once.
How to Install Loot Vases
Installing the Loot Vases add-on is straightforward. First, ensure you are running Minecraft Java Edition with the Forge mod loader installed. The mod is compatible with version 1.20.1, though you should always check the latest supported version before downloading.

Exploring Corrupt Soul Lairs
The Corrupt Soul Lair is a new dungeon structure that generates in the world, housing the Haunted Vase. These lairs are crawling with monsters, so come equipped with your best armor and weapons. Clearing a lair and defeating the Corrupt Soul boss is the ultimate challenge this add-on offers, rewarding you with the materials needed for the most powerful items.
