- Chances are weights. The percentage is the weight divided by the total of all weights. They’re whole numbers, so for something rarer than 1%, use bigger numbers (for example 1 against 999).
- One effect at most. If an item passes its rarity’s effect chance, one effect is picked from the enabled effects that fit that kind of item, weighted by each effect’s own
chance.
- Lore shows the rarity in its colour (when
display-rarities is on), then each effect name, then a category line like “Sword”.
- Name colour is the rarity colour, unless
global-loot-name-color is on, in which case every name uses loot-name-color.
- Owners can add, rename or remove rarities. List them in ID order, most common first. IDs must be whole numbers.
Names
Names are built from name pools (word lists) by name generators (patterns).

(a-b) repeats a pool between a and b times.capitalize-names: true upper-cases the first letter of the name.- A generator with a broken pattern is skipped with a warning.
- Add words with a text editor, or from the console with
/al append <file> <text>.
- If an item already has a custom name and
overwrite-existing-name is off for that loot source, the custom name is kept.
