Everhatch Chest
Quickstart
- Load your world with the mod installed — no crafting required.
- Simply explore the Overworld surface. Everhatch Chests will spawn naturally near you as you move around.
- Open a chest to collect its loot: multiple stacks of 64 random spawn eggs plus 4–7 rare item rewards.
- Come back the next Minecraft day — the chest refills automatically. You'll see a gold [Everhatch] message in chat when it restocks.
- 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:
| Loot Category | Details |
|---|
| Spawn Eggs | Multiple stacks of 64 — random mob types each day |
| Rare Rewards | 4–7 items drawn from the rare reward pool (see below) |
Rare Reward Pool
| Item | Amount per Draw |
|---|
| Diamond | 4–16 |
| Emerald | 8–24 |
| Netherite Ingot | 1–3 |
| Gold Ingot | 12–32 |
| Bottle o' Enchanting | 16–64 |
| Ender Pearl | 8–16 |
| Blaze Rod | 4–12 |
| Totem of Undying | 1–2 |
| Enchanted Golden Apple | 1–2 |
| Elytra | 1 |
| Shulker Shell | 2–8 |
| Dragon's Breath | 4–12 |
| Nether Star | 1 |
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.
