What the official documentation establishes
Microsoft's Bedrock creator documentation shows pools that roll over weighted entries and demonstrates that fixed rolls can be replaced by ranges. It also shows conditions, count or enchantment functions, and references to other tables. Mojang publishes Bedrock sample files that can be inspected alongside the docs. These sources support the calculator's simple weighted boundary; they do not justify a timeless table of every vanilla reward across Java, Bedrock, snapshots, add-ons, data packs, and mods.

Choose a mode from the table's actual complexity
Use simple weighted mode only when one pool has a fixed integer roll count and every roll sees the same eligible entries with replacement. Use direct mode after deriving the full probability when range or bonus rolls, conditions, functions, nested references, entry removal, or edition behavior changes the event. Averaging a minimum and maximum roll count is not automatically a valid cumulative-probability calculation.
Version and path are part of the input contract
“Minecraft loot table” is not a version identifier. Record the edition, exact released version or snapshot, source commit or archive, namespace and path, data-pack or add-on state, and the complete eligibility rule. If any of those change, recompute rather than presenting an old value as current.
Probability is not route availability
A table-call probability begins after the relevant game event reaches that table. Structure generation, travel, mob spawning, kill speed, fishing timing, server rules, and player execution are different variables. Measure a complete repeatable cycle for the exact activity instead of multiplying an item probability by an unverified “runs per hour” claim.
What changed in this correction
Earlier pages mixed unlabeled edition data with structure, fishing, mob, enchantment, world-generation, seed-search, and route claims. They also displayed invented observation rows as though the site had run validation samples. Those presets and claims have been removed. The remaining tool is narrower and auditable.
