Why is the block smaller than the one in the video? - I used a minecart in the video, but minecarts have collision so you can't put them next to each other on all sides; this one is more friendly.

The loot crate item does not have a block texture. - I used a custom model data for the item, so that it would take the model of a block. In a resource pack, in the directory "\.minecraft\resourcepacks\<your-resourcepack>\assets\minecraft\models\item", create a "bat_spawn_egg.json" file, and type the following inside:

{"parent": "item/generated","textures": {"layer0": "item/bat_spawn_egg"},
"overrides": [{"predicate": {"custom_model_data": 1},
"model": "item/oak_planks"}]}

What about the crate texture? - You can use any custom texture for the item. Replace the oak_planks in the bat_spawn_egg.json file to any block if you want.

Can I put more than one item inside? - Technically it's possible, but I intentionally limited it into one, since it seemed more practical.

Can I put a loot crate inside an empty loot crate? - Just like you can't put shulker boxes inside shulker boxes, I intentionally made it also that way. But it's possible though.
