Ever wished Minecraft would just hand you surprises on a timer? Random Item Mod does exactly that — every time a configurable countdown hits zero, a completely random item drops into your inventory. It turns ordinary survival worlds into unpredictable scrambles where your next diamond pickaxe or raw chicken is always just seconds away. The default timer sits at 30 seconds, but you can tweak it on the fly with a simple in-game command.
Key Features
- Timed random item drops — At the end of each timer cycle, every player receives a randomly selected item straight into their inventory, keeping gameplay fresh and unpredictable.
- Adjustable cooldown via /timer command — Change how frequently items appear without leaving the game. Set a 10-second frenzy or a slower 5-minute pace to match your playstyle.
- Server-side and LAN compatible — Works on dedicated servers and LAN worlds alike, so everyone in a multiplayer session gets random items simultaneously.
