Loot that pops out of a chest should hop a few times and then rest

Dropped items look dead when they just appear, and look broken when they bounce forever, roll into walls or fly out of reach. Here is a small arc for loot with a few hops that die away on their own, a landing spot you can predict, and a limit that keeps it within arm's length.

Why this works

Loot should feel like it has weight, and a few shrinking hops show that. Working out the whole sequence once at the start gives the same result every time, costs nothing per frame and ends cleanly with a clear rest.

When not to use it

Wrong when loot can roll over uneven ground, slopes or moving platforms, because a fixed plan cannot react. Use live physics there. And skip the hops entirely in games that drop dozens of items at once.
