# Lootbox Creation Guide
Currently, the Item Wizard does not support creating **Lootbox** items directly. Instead, they must be inserted manually into the database. This guide details the required JSON structure for the `LOOTBOX` effect.
## Item Structure
To create a lootbox, you need to insert a row into the `items` table. The critical part is the `usageData` JSON column.
```json
{
"consume": true,
"effects": [
{
"type": "LOOTBOX",
"pool": [ ... ]
}
]
}
```
## Loot Table Structure
The `pool` property is an array of `LootTableItem` objects. A random item is selected based on the total `weight` of all items in the pool.
| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `type` | `string` | One of: `CURRENCY`, `ITEM`, `XP`, `NOTHING`. |
| `weight` | `number` | The relative probability weight of this outcome. |
| `message` | `string` | (Optional) Custom message to display when this outcome is selected. |
### Outcome Types
#### 1. Currency
Gives the user coins.
```json
{
"type": "CURRENCY",
"weight": 50,
"amount": 100, // Fixed amount OR
"minAmount": 50, // Minimum random amount
"maxAmount": 150 // Maximum random amount
}
```
#### 2. XP
Gives the user Experience Points.
```json
{
"type": "XP",
"weight": 30,
"amount": 500 // Fixed amount OR range (minAmount/maxAmount)
}
```
#### 3. Item
Gives the user another item (by ID).
```json
{
"type": "ITEM",
"weight": 10,
"itemId": 42, // The ID of the item to give
"amount": 1 // (Optional) Quantity to give, default 1
}
```
#### 4. Nothing
An empty roll.
```json
{
"type": "NOTHING",
"weight": 10,
"message": "The box was empty! Better luck next time."
}
```
## Complete Example
Here is a full SQL insert example (using a hypothetical SQL client or Drizzle studio) for a "Basic Lootbox":
**Name**: Basic Lootbox
**Type**: CONSUMABLE
**Effect**:
- 50% chance for 100-200 Coins
- 30% chance for 500 XP
- 10% chance for Item ID 5 (e.g. Rare Gem)
- 10% chance for Nothing
**JSON for `usageData`**:
```json
{
"consume": true,
"effects": [
{
"type": "LOOTBOX",
"pool": [
{
"type": "CURRENCY",
"weight": 50,
"minAmount": 100,
"maxAmount": 200
},
{
"type": "XP",
"weight": 30,
"amount": 500
},
{
"type": "ITEM",
"weight": 10,
"itemId": 5,
"amount": 1,
"message": "Startstruck! You found a Rare Gem!"
},
{
"type": "NOTHING",
"weight": 10,
"message": "It's empty..."
}
]
}
]
}
```
