Dimensional / Structural Selector with NBT Tags?

[AEnigma94]

Hello! This is my second suggestion here:

Would it be possible to somehow control, in which dimension / location a specific book can spawn as loot? I would like to create a Babel data pack with my own context-sensitive lore books (e.g. miner journals: only in mineshafts; Nether-related stories: only in the Nether).

Maybe one could somehow regulate this with pre-defined NBT tags? Thank you for your time!

Probably not, sorry.

While it would technically be possible, Babel is built around a single central loot table for books that gets referenced by all other loot tables. Supporting location specific books would require a significant restructuring of how babel works.

You could build something yourself by generating multiple loot tables using babel and then wiring them into different loot sources manually. You can generate a bare loot table using the Python version:

python build_loottable.py config.yaml > books.json

Thanks for the advice and the quick reply.
