Everhatch Chest

Quickstart

1. Load your world with the mod installed — no crafting required.
2. Simply explore the Overworld surface. Everhatch Chests will spawn naturally near you as you move around.
3. Open a chest to collect its loot: multiple stacks of 64 random spawn eggs plus 4–7 rare item rewards.
4. Come back the next Minecraft day — the chest refills automatically. You'll see a gold [Everhatch] message in chat when it restocks.
5. If you want to move a chest, break it and place any regular chest nearby. The Everhatch power transfers to your newly placed chest instantly.

Overview

Everhatch Chest is a loot automation mod that scatters self-refilling chests across the Overworld surface. Each chest is tracked by the mod and refreshes its contents once per Minecraft day, giving you a reliable, renewable supply of spawn eggs and high-value items without any crafting or setup needed.

What It Adds

• Everhatch Chests — standard-looking chests that appear naturally on the Overworld surface near players. They are tracked invisibly by the mod and behave differently from normal chests in several key ways:
  • Refill automatically every Minecraft day.
  • Retain their Everhatch power even if broken and replaced.
  • Respawn nearby if lost (not replaced after being broken).
  • Are capped in total number so they never overrun the world.

Abilities And Mechanics

Daily Refill

Every new Minecraft day, each Everhatch Chest restocks with:

Rare Reward Pool

Each refill randomly picks 4–7 entries from this pool, so you won't always get every item.

Moving an Everhatch Chest

• Break an Everhatch Chest — it enters a "carried" state tied to your player.
• Place any chest anywhere — the Everhatch power transfers to that chest, and it will refill immediately then continue on its daily cycle.
• You'll receive a gold [Everhatch] confirmation message when the transfer succeeds.

Lost Chest Respawning

If you break an Everhatch Chest but never place a replacement, the mod will automatically grow a new chest near you on the next daily refill tick. You won't permanently lose your Everhatch Chest.

Chat Notifications

When a chest near you restocks, you'll see:

[Everhatch] An Everhatch Chest restocked with 64x random spawn eggs and rare loot for the new day!

Notifications only appear if you are within range of the chest.

Progression And Strategy

• Early game: Use spawn eggs from the chests to populate farms, collect mob drops, or generate XP without needing a mob grinder.
• Mid game: The guaranteed netherite ingots, elytra, and nether stars dramatically accelerate progression — you can skip much of the resource grind.
• Late game: Use the daily nether stars for Beacon networks and the shulker shells plus elytra for rapid base expansion.
• Tip: Place your Everhatch Chest in a convenient, safe location (e.g., inside your base) so it's always accessible when the new day ticks over.
• Tip: The chest cap prevents the world from becoming overrun, so don't expect unlimited chests — treat each tracked chest as a valuable daily resource node worth protecting.
