Solved Random Chest Items with Possibility

I have been looking around for a solution to this for ages, but never came up with any. I know that you can do array lists and for loops for randomizing items, but what about possibilities? I was thinking of doubling items, but that will take time as well. Anybody have a really easy solution for this?

 

Hi,
I'd suggest using something like this:

Code:java

public void createChest(Chest chest) {
        //Gets the chest inventory
        Inventory inv = chest.getBlockInventory();
        //Get a list of all materials
        Material[] list = Material.values();
        //TODO: Set the number of items in the chest, and the max itemstack size
        int numberOfItemsInChest = 2;
        int maxItemstackSize = 64;
 
        //Runs thru the wanted number of items
        for (int a = 0; a < numberOfItemsInChest; a++) {
            //Get a random number
            int matNumber = (int) Math.random()*(list.length-1);
            //Get a random material
            Material material = list[matNumber];
            //Get a random size
            int itemstackSize = (int) Math.random()*(maxItemstackSize-1);
            //Create a itemstack
            ItemStack itemstack = new ItemStack(material, itemstackSize);
            ///Adds the itemstack to the chest
            inv.addItem(itemstack);
        }
    }

 

"Math.random() * blah" - why so complicated? xD

Code:

    private Random random = new Random(); // Create a Random instance.
 
    public void createChest(Chest chest) {
        //Gets the chest inventory
        Inventory inv = chest.getBlockInventory();
        //Get a list of all materials
        Material[] list = Material.values();
        //TODO: Set the number of items in the chest, and the max itemstack size
        int numberOfItemsInChest = 2;
        int maxItemstackSize = 64;
 
        //Runs through the wanted number of items
        for (int i = 0; i < numberOfItemsInChest; i++) {
            // Get a random material
            Material material = list[this.random.nextInt(list.length)];
            // Get a random size
            int itemstackSize = this.random.nextInt(maxItemStackSize) + 1;
            // Create a itemstack
            ItemStack itemstack = new ItemStack(material, itemstackSize);
            ///Adds the itemstack to the chest
            inv.addItem(itemstack);
        }
    }

I suppose that would work to! But that makes it less easier to make the void static if you want to
