Thread: help with "Stacked" list

I'm trying to make a semi-random list of items for a maze, but since I'm new to java I wouldn't know how.

the way I'm currently doing it is, roll a d12+11 for n (the number of items in the chest), then roll n d100s for the categories of the items, then d100s for the actual item depending on which category each item landed in (a 100 resuting in 2 rerolls in the same category). it works for small amounts of chests, but im planing on having hundreds of them and it would be to time consuming rolling them manualy.

I don't need help with the entire code, just the mechanics.

Thats just it, i dont know where i'd start.
I know i nead a random number code for all 3 parts
And a loop that runs n times.
But i dont know how to start wrighting the code.

Mostly i'v just changed the background of webpages and making buttons. I took 1 year of "programing" that turned out to be nothing more than a typing class with extra benefits.

so iv pieced together a program to act as the shell

public class chest{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int dice1;

welcome();

}
public static void welcome() {
System.out.println("Chest Gen");{
}

int dice1=(int)(Math.random()*12+12);
int sum= dice1;

System.out.println("Roll: total = " +sum);

if (sum==12){
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==13) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==14) {
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==15) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==16) {
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==17) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==18){
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==19) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==20) {
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==21) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==22) {
System.out.println("Sorry with a " + sum + " You LOSE "); }
else if(sum==23) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
else if(sum==24) {
System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }
}

}

I'm using "System.out.println("Woah!!! With a " + sum + " You WIN!!!!!!!"); }" as a place holder. I want the code to take "sum=dice1" and run a loop that consists of;

int dice2=(int)(Math.random()*100+);
int sum= dice2;

if (sum==0 to 47){
System.out.println("Food"); }
else if(sum==48 to 67) {
System.out.println("Alchemy"); }
else if(sum==68 to 82) {
System.out.println("Ore"); }

and so on, but cant find any examples

--- Update ---

IDK where the faces came from
there suppose to be a (

it works fine I just need help with the loop. I need it to take the sum of dice1 and run a loop that many times
