Loot chests in dungeons, mineshafts, nether forts, etc. are unbreakable and contain unique loot for each player.
(i.e. EACH player gets their own set of loot from EACH chest)

To encourage loot running as a group, Loot Chests give you a chance boost for unique items depending on how many players are nearby. In other words, exploring and looting chests as a group improves your odds of finding good loot. Only players who have not looted said chest, or have only recently looted said chest will be counted towards the boost. Boost is as such:

Number of Players Loot Bonus
3 1%
4 3.2%
5 6.4%
6 10.5%
7 15.4%
8 21.0%
9 27.3%
10 34.3%
11+ 40.0%
