Description
The TechFreqs Lootable Mattresses And Curtains Mod, makes certain beds, mattresses and curtains(Drapes) in 7 Days to Die into lootable containers.
Mod Summary:
So that way you can “Search” by (press “E”) key to grab the resources just as you would harvesting with a stone axe and or instead of just breaking them with an axe. It mimics the loot and XP you’d get from harvesting with a stone axe(mostly), so you’ve got two ways to get stuff!
Either the—quick “Search” or classic axe smashing. Works alongside vanilla harvesting (doesn’t block it).
Using DLL or csharp method with blocks and loot xml for semi configurable loot count and amount, and hardcoded xp gain support.
Note:
AGAIN THIS IS for DLL OLD V1.15
In the most part, by chance it may or may not have the item when looted, however more for you if you want to harvest with an axe afterwards be my guest and OH! if you’d like to help fix that part of the work aswell to make it much more lootable like vanilla, as this isnt quite as balanced but good enough feel free to message me or let me know and we can work on it together and ill give some credit! all due respect just ask for my permission.
At the moment drapes give off iron pipes for some reason but its whatever by chanced gives off cloth, or mattress give off just iron too! it all depends per looting!
AS FOR LATEST CHANGES V1.16 XML
Its been updated for 7 Days to Die 2.1, you may loot them via E as if they were loot containers, however they dont destroy after looting nor will they give off xp, They XML so that way it is server side and EAC and uninstall friendly! HOWEVER, if others who would like this mod just on case id suggest client and server side install for NEW worlds!
ID HIGHLY recommend backing up your save, before installing this mod on to an existing world for the chance that some are not looted yet. IN NEW worlds you can loot immediately but if the player doesn’t have it installed they will not be able to loot them normal and receive an error even for existing worlds.
THIS WILL affect current saves if accidentally joining another one and some containers will be lootable some not if it hasnt already been looted or detected. so please be careful! for those changes ALWAYS BACKUP your saves! And USE ON NEW WORLD OR NEW SERVER! existing saves are doable but with a catch of it not being completely lootable

EAC must be disabled, although i hope in the future that can be changed, as for now DLLS are not EAC supported however XML has no issue, as for this mod its XML so it should be safe..
THIS IS CLIENT SIDE ONLY but maybe perhaps this is also, server side and client side compatibility?
No further setup needed. Enjoy!

V1.14
– Which i believe is where i had added gurneys and hospital beds, previous versions didn’t have that if even uploaded
-Subtle folder fix , naming issue.
Its so that way where the ModInfo xml, if the folder doesnt match the mods name value property its lookin for it wouldnt work due to a folder naming issues, its gotta match the name value in the ModInfo name value property in the xml file. So reuploaded the mod but just created a folder with the contents inside the correctly named folder, instead of just files in the download zip file.. WITHOUT a folder as again it was just contents without a folder, and plus downloading from the server has an extra minus symbol and numbers after the label… so downloading from servers and after extraction not everyone may know that the label needs to match the ModInfo xml name value.. and for whatever reason i suppose servers don’t add that specfic folder for file naming, per zip with files in them instead of a straight folder label of the mod, thus the error. so yay for folder fixes

I love this mod, great work! I noticed that plain mattresses on the ground are not searchable, maybe you can add more items in the future!
should the files be in their own separate folder? the zip just wants to drop all files directly at my /mods/ folder, so i went ahead and made them a folder to reside in.
just wondering if that was intentional on your end?
[thanks for the mod, i’ll be trying it out soon]
