[Tutorial] Making more complex Loot Tables

This is something which I wish I knew a LOT earlier into starting with Mcreator; while you normally have certain limitations with loot tables, there's a couple simple tricks you can use to make loot a bit more complex; including adding potions, item names and descriptions, enchanted books, randomly enchanted/damaged items, etc; to any loot table. (Blocks, entities, you name it.) 

First, you'll want to make a new loot table and add whatever things to it don't need custom changes, and the base items that you're going to tweak. Then, Lock the code- this allows you to modify the code directly. Then, you can add various functions to items that support them. (For example- make a loot table with an iron sword, lock the code, then modify the 'functions' section of the code.) 

The modification itself requires a bit of technical knowhow, but if I can figure it out, I'm confident pretty much anyone can. (A fair warning, the syntax needs to be perfect for the loot table to actually function. You'll know it's working when a new section appears in the code, and by the fact that the loot table should then appear as an auto-fill option when using the /loot command.)

This is basically just me reposting a really helpful series of tutorials from Microsoft- if you want an introduction to loot tables, look here; for a more in-depth look at different loot functions, check here.
