Changes

Loot Ball Changes

• Added the Rainbow Loot Ball:
  • It has a cobbleloots exclusive rainbow texture.
  • It gives 5 XP when opened.
  • Loot table:
    • 1 x Rainbow Creeper Banner (Weight: 8)
    • 16 x Rainbow Fireworks (Weight: 8)
    • 1 x Totem of Undying (Weight: 1)
    • 1 x Exp. Candy XS (Weight: 1)
    • 1 x Exp. Candy S (Weight: 1)
    • 1 x Exp. Candy M (Weight: 1)
  • Obtaining:
    • Generation:
      • Weight: 10
      • Biomes: Can generate in mushroom fields, flower forests, meadows, sunflower plains, cherry groves, and warm ocean biomes.
    • Spawning:
      • Weight: 20
      • Sky Light: 7-15
      • Biomes: Same as generation.
• You can now place Loot Balls directly where you are looking at instead of placing them on a fixed position centered on the block you are looking at.
• Added the ability for Loot Balls to drop as decorative items in survival mode.
  • When a loot ball has no remaining uses, you can destroy them in survival and the loot ball will drop as a decorative item.
  • This change is currently work in progress, so expect some bugs.
  • You can disable this behaviour in the config file.
• Changed Variant NBT Tag type for Loot Balls to String instead of Integer. It now represents a variant id instead of the position in the variants lists inside the Loot Ball definition JSON.
• Added PlayerTimer Loot Ball NBT Tag of type Long.
  • It represents a value in ticks that the player must wait to reopen the Loot Ball.
  • A value of 0 disables this behaviour.
  • A small value (like 1) indicates that the player can reopen the Loot Ball indefinitely.
• Added XP Loot Ball NBT Tag of type Integer.
  • It represents the amount of XP that the Loot Ball will give to the player when opened.
• The default values for Loot Balls are now configurable via the new loot_ball.defaults config section. Some default values may still be hardcoded, but most of them can now be changed in the config file.
• Loot balls will now try to spawn on a solid block instead of midair, but they will still spawn midair if no solid block is found after a certain amount of attempts.
• Some default loot balls now have colours applied to their names to make them more distinguishable in the inventory.
• Updated Loot Ball definitions to use the new Loot Ball Data format, and some of the definitions have been changed to reflect the new data structure:
  • Poké (and variants): Now gives 1 XP when opened.
    • The definition serves as a example for data pack creators to create their own Loot Ball definitions. The values you see in the Poké Loot Ball definition are mostly the default values for all Loot Balls (some of exceptions are the xp or weight values).
  • Great: Now gives 3 XP when opened.
  • Ultra: Now gives 10 XP when opened.
  • Master:
    • Now gives 50 XP when opened.
    • Now it can spawn in all biomes with a weight of 1.
  • Safari: Now gives 1 XP when opened.
  • Luxury: Now gives 25 XP when opened.
  • Dive:
    • Now gives 5 XP when opened.
    • Generation and Spawning:
      • Now it only generates/spawn inside water
      • Removed the below y-level 62 generation condition.
      • It still generates/spawn in the Dive Loot Ball allowed biomes.
  • Heal:
    • Now gives 10 XP when opened.
    • Generation and Spawning:
      • Now it can generate and spawn in all overworld biomes.
      • Reduced the weight to 10 for all sources to make it rarer.
  • Lure: Removed the Lure Loot Ball definition, as it was not used in the mod yet (until the fishing update).
• Opening a Loot Ball with a despawn timer will now extend the despawn timer during the time the player is opening it. This change is to prevent Loot Balls from despawning while the player is opening them, which could lead to losing the Loot Ball and its contents.
• Creative players can now middle-click Loot Balls to copy their data, allowing for easier use of Loot Balls in creative mode.

Loot Ball Data Rework

• Reworked the Loot Ball Data format to be more flexible and easier to use.

• The Loot Ball definition structure (data/namespace/loot_ball/{name}.json) now contains:

  • (required) name [Component]: The name of the Loot Ball, displayed in the inventory. It can be a simple string or a component with formatting.
  • (optional) loot_table [ResourceLocation]: The loot table to use when opening the Loot Ball.
  • (optional) texture [ResourceLocation]: The texture to use for the Loot Ball item. If not specified, the default texture will be used.
  • (optional) sources [Map<String, List<SourceFilter>>]: A map of sources with filters to use for the Loot Ball.
    • (optional) generation [List<SourceFilter>]: A list of filters for the Loot Ball to generate in the world.
    • (optional) spawning [List<SourceFilter>]: A list of filters for the Loot Ball to spawn in the world.
  • (optional) variants [Map<String, VariantData>]: A map of variants for the Loot Ball. Each variant can have its own name, texture, and loot_table. Each variant is identified by a unique id.
    • (optional) {variant_id} [VariantData]: The data for the variant, where {variant_id} is a unique identifier for the variant.

• The Loot Ball definition structure now uses a new SourceFilter format, which allows for more flexible filtering of sources:

  • (optional) weight [Integer]: The weight of the filter, used for random selection. Defaults to 1.
  • (optional) structure [Tag<Structure>]: A tag of structures that the filter applies to. If not specified, the filter passes for all structures.
  • (optional) biome [Tag<Biome>]: A tag of biomes that the filter applies to. If not specified, the filter passes for all biomes.
  • (optional) dimension [List<ResourceLocation>]: A list of dimensions that the filter applies to. If not specified, the filter passes for all dimensions.
  • (optional) block [Map<String, Tag<Block>>]:
    • (optional) spawn [Tag<Block>]: A tag of blocks that the filter applies to when checking the block the Loot Ball is spawned on. If not specified, the filter passes for all blocks.
    • (optional) base [Tag<Block>]: A tag of blocks that the filter applies to when checking the base block of the Loot Ball. If not specified, the filter passes for all blocks.
  • (optional) fluid [Tag<Fluid>]: A tag of fluids that the filter applies to when checking the fluid the Loot Ball is spawned on. If not specified, the filter passes for all fluids.
  • (optional) position [Map<String, MinMaxFilter>]:

  • (optional) (exclusive to spawning filters) light [Map<String, MinMaxFilter>]:
    • (optional) block [MinMaxFilter]: A filter for the block light level of the Loot Ball. If not specified, the filter passes for all block light levels.
    • (optional) sky [MinMaxFilter]: A filter for the sky light level of the Loot Ball. If not specified, the filter passes for all sky light levels.
  • (optional) time [Map<String, MinMaxFilter>]:
    • (optional) value [MinMaxFilter]: A filter for the time of day in ticks when the Loot Ball can spawn. If not specified, the filter passes for all times.
    • (optional) period [Integer]: The period of the time filter in ticks, which defines the modulus for the time value. If not specified, the filter does not apply a period.
  • (optional) weather [Map<String, Boolean>]:
    • (optional) clear [Boolean]: Whether the filter passes when the weather is clear. Defaults to true.
    • (optional) rain [Boolean]: Whether the filter passes when it is raining. Defaults to true.

  • (optional) max [Integer]: The maximum value for the filter. If not specified, the filter passes for all values.

• The Loot Ball definition structure now uses a new VariantData format, which allows for more flexible variant data:

  • (optional) name [Component]: The name of the variant, displayed in the inventory. If not specified, the parent name will be used.
  • (optional) texture [ResourceLocation]: The texture to use for the variant item. If not specified, the parent texture will be used.
  • (optional) loot_table [ResourceLocation]: The loot table to use when opening the variant Loot Ball. If not specified, the parent loot table will be used.

Fixes

• Fixed a bug where wardens could target and attack loot balls; now wardens ignore loot balls as intended.
• Fixed loot balls not despawning when falling into the world void.

• All codecs were reworked for the new loot ball data format.
• Optimized some internal game detections for loot ball entity targetting and damage.
• Add a limit to random chunk search to optimize loot ball generation.
• Removed internal block check for valid position when spawning a loot ball. This is replaced now by loot ball definition filters.
