Pets

The pet system is implemented as follows: in the user's inventory there is a pet slot, and in order to call a pet, the player must put in the slot an object that is associated with the pet. Objects, and properties of pets, which of them will be called, are configured in the file pets.yml

The file pets.yml has the following structure: 

# Settings for pets
pets:
  pet1:
    ...
  pet2:
    ...
    ...
    ...
  petN:
    ...
# Pet food settings
food:
  food1:
    ...
  food2:
    ...
    ...
    ...
  foodN:
    ...

In this case, pet1, pet2, petN, food1, food2 and foodN are the IDs of pets and their food. This identifier is entered in the command to receive a pet or pet food.

Attention: if you change or delete the pet (food) from this file, it will be changed / deleted for all users who have a pet (meal) with this ID.

  item: MONSTER_EGG:Zombie
  # The type of a horse will be used

  features:
  - "SADDLE: TRUE"
  - "CHEST: FALSE"
  - "ARMOR: IRON_BARDING"
  - "COLOR: DARK_BROWN"
  - "STYLE: WHITE"

But at the moment we still can not use this pet. We have not yet set some mandatory options, which we will consider in the second step.

Step 2: Pet Characteristics

Let's pass, directly, to giving the pet properties and characteristics.

  type: MOUNT
  health: 40
  speed: 6.3
  # The pet will be reborn 60 seconds after death
  revival: true
  cooldown: 60

Let's see what the pet looks like in the game:

And now let's see what the mount looks like:

Step 3: Limitations of pets

Restrictions on the use of pets are done in the same way as for objects (cf. Items)

Пример

pet1:
  ...
  ...
  ...
  # Write the requirements for the player
  level: 6
  classes:
  - Soldier
  - Warrior

We see that the game has limitations on the level and classes:

Step 4: Pet Food

Now we need to somehow replenish our pets, and for this we need to make them food

PropertyValuesDescription

lore List of RowsDescription of the item in the game
item TextureThe texture used for the object
eaters Entity ListPets with the guise from this list will be able to eat this food

bone:

  lore:
  - "&e&o- The best oats!"
  item: WHEAT
  eaters:
  - HORSE
  value: 5

Let's see how the object looks in the game:
