    Does anyone know the probabilities of each of the VSS Seaskipper dialogues?

    E.g. what's the probability to get a pirate's hook? Or the 4x coral sapphires? etc.

    It's probably random, but let's ask the one person we actually know has this knowledge; @Lotem

    How did you manage to create a randomiser using pure command blocks though?

    Is it perfectly random because in my testing I've seemed to get so much more raw fish than anything else.

    I used a simple randomizer I came up with. It's using the @r selector, which is already 100% random, for making super easy and compact randomizers (tho I'm sure I wasn't the first one to use this method).

    If you understand some command blocks, here's the full explanation:
    First, I summon bunch of ArmorStands (or any entity with NoAI, really) with a custom name (for example, "Randomizer").
    /summon X Y Z ArmorStand {CustomName:"Randomizer",NoGravity:1}

    Then, when I want to get a randomized output I use this command:
    /execute @r[type=ArmorStand,name=Randomizer,r=50] ~ ~ ~ /setblock ~ ~-1 ~ redstone_block

    This will cause one totally random armorstand to place a redstone block just beneath it. So you just need to place one ArmorStand above each random event you want. You also need to make sure to set that block back to air later (or any other block - I like to use gold_block instead of air, to mark it better).

    This randomizer is great for few reasons:
    - It's SUPER compact: it's taking almost 0 space. Only requires 1 command to activate and reliquaries a small preparation.
    - You can get any number of random outputs. It can randomize 2 options, or even 50!
    - You can expand this very easily, all you need is to spawn more ArmorStands.
    - You can summon more than 1 type of ArmorStands (I mean, you can spawn ArmorStands with different names) to make more than 1 randomizer in the same place.

    That's it :P

    Wow thank you so much! And yeah I understand a bit of command blocks, and that's super impressive :)

    wait... the @r selector is truly random??? isn't it pseudo-random? Or did minecraft hook it up to an atmospheric noise randomiser, or something similar?

    Pseudorandom probably. But for our purposes I think that's good enough

    Well even atmospheric noise isn't random, one could calculate it if given all the noise causing factors...
