How to give loot from a loot table in Minecraft

Type /loot give @p loot minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon in chat as an operator to get the items a dungeon chest would hold.

loot

Drops or gives items from a loot table, a mined block, a killed mob or a fishing catch.

/loot <give <players>|insert <pos>|spawn <pos>|replace ...> <loot <table>|kill <target>|mine <pos> [<tool>]|fish <table> <pos> [<tool>]>

Examples

/loot give @p loot minecraft:chests/simple_dungeon

Gives the nearest player a dungeon chest roll.

/loot insert ~ ~-1 ~ loot minecraft:chests/end_city_treasure

Fills the container below you with End city loot.

/loot spawn ~ ~1 ~ kill @e[type=minecraft:zombie,limit=1,sort=nearest]

Drops a zombie's loot without killing it.

Arguments

targetRequired: give, insert, spawn or replace with its destination.
sourceRequired: loot, kill, mine or fish with its arguments.
toolOptional: mainhand, offhand or an item, for mine and fish.

What it does

The first part picks where items go: give to players, insert into a container, spawn as dropped items, or replace specific slots. The second part picks the source: loot <table>, kill <entity> (rolls its drops without killing it), mine <pos> (the block's drops, optionally with a tool) or fish. It is a quick way to fill chests with vanilla loot.

Good to know

Needs operator permission level 2.
