Draft Mode [AB+/REP.]

Description
Ever wanted to play the game a little differently, then draft mode might be for you!
WARNING: Does not work with Repentance+ as of 7/5/2025.
Considering how awful it is and how many other mods also do not work, I am going to wait and see, thank you.

Inspired by the older but now deprecated and broken draft mode mod by RedOrangeJuice, and was able to work perfectly with the help of pedroff_1 and hgrfff, comes the new repentance supporting draft mode!

This mod changes the game so that instead of getting an item after defeating a boss, you are allowed to choose one item from four randomly generated options pulled from the boss item pool at the start of each floor.
After choosing, the other options disappear, and you get no item for defeating the boss.

There are notable changes from the original, such as:
  • Not being limited to a challenge (But still has it!)
  • Not breaking replaced characters
  • Works with curses/challenges.
  • Works with any moddable version of TBoI
  • Supports multiplayer (AB+/REP.)
  • Works with alt. paths/tainted characters (REP.)
  • Extremely compatible with mods and any combination of DLC.
  • Very flexible/versatile with configuration for user enjoyment

The mod has support for the mod configuration menu!
You can currently configure:
  • If the mode is currently on
  • If achievements/unlocks are disabled
  • The itempool the items are pulled from or how they are pulled
  • The amount of drafted items you get to choose from
  • Minimum/Maximum quality of items (REP.)
  • Whether or not active items can be drafted
  • Whether or not duplicates can be drafted
  • Whether or not items disappear after choosing one
  • If boss rewards are enabled/disabled
  • If item room rewards are enabled/disabled
  • If other types of item rooms are enabled/disabled
  • What stage items stop being drafted
  • What item pools are available for random selection for random indiv./overall item pool configuration
  • Current configuration preset

It supports XL floors in the way you'd expect it to, and it also allows for identical replication of drafts through seeds. (Assuming you have the same pool selected too, except for universal)
Also, it supports the MinimapAPI for added functionality.
(with regards to removing treasure rooms if desired)

Cliff-Notes:
  • Mod-Configuration menu isn't a total requirement, but it makes the mod 100x better and more interesting/unique, but again it will work in a fine and balanced way without it.
  • Repentance owners get better functionality and more configuration due to API and content additions exclusive to repentance, but it still works fine with AB+.
  • Even if Draft Mode is configured to be off, it will work in the challenge, unless you've disabled it from the mod menu
  • Also, with every update that may add/change pools and their configuration your config data may be reset.

If you find any bugs or have feedback, feel free to post in the discussion, thanks for viewing!

It would be a great QOL fix to make it so the items spawn around the edge of the room while avoiding doors. One of the downsides to this mod is items will block doors.
It would also be a nice improvement if the mod was compatible with challenges and greed mode.
And just for flexibility it would also be nice to have the end point possible to be set all the way to the final floor (chest/void).

I understand some of the things I'm suggesting might seem unbalanced but what is great about this mod is the customization available to players with regard to draft functions. More options would be fantastic.

Didn't know about that API extender, thanks I'll look into it
I'll look at the end thing too

The only bug/issue I've seen is if you set it to end at basement I no items spawn.

Other than that I think it might be good to take a look at repentogen to see if there is any efficiencies that might be built into the mod.

Thanks, I'm glad you are enjoying it
If you have any suggestions or feedback leave it for me, I just don't know what to do next for it

Been using this mod for years and IMO its one of the best BOI mods out there. You can easily overtune your playthrough and remove all challenge, but you can also make the game quite a bit harder using this.

Hopefully the creator will come back to this mod at some point and give it a little love but as of 9.15.24 it works with the current version of BOI Repentance without any notable issues.

Thank you, will test it again.

Well, I just updated it and added redundancies just incase. Let me know if you still have the issue.

Hey Zer0TheDebugger, I tried a run where I have treasure room rewards disabled and didn't manage to reproduce your bug.
Item rooms didn't have rewards and I was still able to get the key pieces. Not only that, but the code was made so it quite literally only works in rooms marked by the game as a treasure room.
I think you may be having an issue with an other mod or maybe it didn't update correctly?

When disabling treasure rooms also stops key pieces.
