Use them at your own risk. If you find any issues, please report them on the [Discord](https://discord.gg/2YGJXxHtBX) server. ## 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`.

# Cobbleloots ALPHA-2.0.7 > **IMPORTANT**: This update breaks compatibility with previous versions of the mod. You will need to update your data packs and configurations to match the new Loot Ball Data format. > **REMEMBER**: Alpha versions may contain bugs and **unfinished features**. Use them at your own risk. If you find any issues, please report them on the [Discord](https://discord.gg/2YGJXxHtBX) server. ## 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.

By setting the `type` entry to `generated` in a source definition, the loot ball will be generated in the world. - The generator will try to spawn a loot ball in a section of a chunk. By default, 3 attempts are made to spawn a loot ball in a chunk. - Reduced the performance impact of loot ball generation compared to the previous mod, by checking smaller sections of the world. - Loot balls can now spawn nearby a random player. The spawning uses the same biome tags filters and height filters as generation, but they can be configured separately in data packs. - Every certain amount of time, the mod will try to spawn a loot ball near a random player. By default, the mod will try to spawn a loot ball every 5-30 minutes. ### Loot Ball - Reverted changes to item obtaining in survival. Now, the item will be directly added to the player's inventory instead of dropping it on the ground. If the player's inventory is full, the item will be dropped on the ground. - In the future, I will add a config option to choose between these two behaviors. ### Loot Ball NBT - Added new nbt tag `DespawnTick`. This tag is used to store the tick when the loot ball will despawn. This tag is used to prevent **spawned** loot balls from staying in the world indefinitely. Generated loot balls doesn't have this tag, so they will not despawn. ### Tags - Added new internal biome and block tags for loot ball generation and spawning. ### Loot Ball Data - Changed `biome` entry data type in `sources` definitions from `ResourceLocation` to `TagKey<Biome>` for better performance. From now on, biome filters should point to biome tags instead of biome IDs. If no biome filter is specified, the loot ball will be available in all biomes. - Added an experimental boolean `announce` entry. If set to `true`, when the loot ball is spawned, a message will be sent to all players on the server.

# Cobbleloots ALPHA-2.0.1 > **IMPORTANT**: Alpha versions of the mod may contain bugs and **unfinished features**. Use them at your own risk.

# Cobbleloots ALPHA-2.0.0 > **IMPORTANT**: Alpha versions of the mod may contain bugs and **unfinished features**. Use them at your own risk. If you find any issues, please report them on the GitHub repository. > **Note**: This mod replaces my previous mod `Cobblemon: Loot Balls`, but it is not compatible with the old loot balls from the other mod, so I suggest backing up items from previous worlds. ## Changes from previous mod - The Loot Balls code was completely redone from scratch. From now on, the mod will be called Cobbleloots, to avoid confusion with the old **incompatible** versions. - Loot Balls are now **entities** instead of blocks. - Loot Ball generation and survival sources **aren't implemented yet**. They will be added in future alpha versions. - Loot Balls **now doesn't disappear after being opened**. They will stay in the world until they are destroyed by the players. This change was made to allow players to use the loot balls as **decorations** in future versions. - Loot Balls doesn't drop themselves when destroyed. This will be added in future versions. - Loot Balls items **now drop into the world** instead of being directly added to the player's inventory. ## New Features - Loot Balls now have new sounds and animations. - The opening sound was updated to be more in line with the original Pokémon games. - The opening animation was updated to be more fluid and visually appealing. - Various sounds were added/updated for different actions on the loot balls. ### Mapmaking - The mod now has a [documentation](https://resistorcat.github.io/cobbleloots/) to help mapmakers use the mod objects and features in their custom maps. This will be updated as new features are added. - At the moment of this release, the documentation is still a work in progress. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my discord server. I will update the documentation as soon as possible. - Added a new `Loot Ball Data` system to help mapmakers create custom loot balls with different properties. - You can now create custom loot balls trough datapacks! Check the documentation for more information. - The system is **still a work in progress**, and it may change in future versions. - The system is not yet implemented in survival sources nor generation. It will be added in future alpha versions. - You can customize the loot table, texture, sources, rarity, biomes and more. Some of these features are not yet implemented, but you can write the data for future use. - Reworked the `Openers` tag to allow more flexibility for mapmakers. - The system is still a work in progress, and it may change in future versions. - It now stores the `UUID` and the `Timestamp` of the player that opened the loot ball. This will be used in future versions to add more features to the mod, like **cooldowns** and **re-usable** loot balls.

# Changes - **Crítical**: Modified `Openers` NBT save/loading. It works as a list of strings now, to avoid issues with larger UUIDs strings. > **NOTE**: The old code was left in place to deserialize this NBT key for compatibility reasons. It is recommended to load the chunks containing loot balls already generated to be updated to the new system. **This may be removed in the future**. - **Removed** `perPlayerLootBalls` config. It was redundant and now loot balls can only be opened 1 time per player by default. > **NOTE**: In single player worlds, loot balls have 1 use by default, and loot balls will be destroyed when used. In multiplayer worlds, the new `ignoreLootBallUses` setting must be changed to `true` so that everyone can claim the loot (see below) or adjust the `naturalLootBallUses` setting to allow more than 1 use in natural loot balls. - **Replaced** `ignorePerPlayerLootBallUses`config with `ignoreLootBallUses` config. When `true`, the remaining uses of a loot ball will be ignored (infinite uses), but will still be limited to 1 loot per player. Defaults to `false`. - **Added** `randomizeAfterUse` config. When `true`, loot balls with an assigned loot table (like the natural ones) will grant random loot to each player. If `false`, all players will get the same loot. Defaults to `true`. - Updated the docs. ## Fixes - **Fix**: `Infinite` NBT tag in loot balls ignores `Openers` NBT.

# Changes - Generated Loot Balls are now a bit rarer. - Added 2 new configs: - `minLootBallsPerChunk`: You can now set the minimum amount of lootballs generated per chunk. (Defaults to `0`) - `generationChance`: You can now set the chance for a lootball generation attempt to be successful. (Defaults to `0.08`)

# Changes - Updated cobblemon version to 1.5.

## Fixes - **Fixed**: Game crash when loading modded dimensions.

# Changes - Updated all existing loot tables. You can check the new loots in the [lootball docs](https://github.com/ResistorCat/cobblemon-loot-balls/blob/main/docs/Lootballs.md). - Added **loot ball fishing, archaeology and drop sources**. - Added 5 new loot balls: - **Lure**: Obtainable only by **fishing** in cold oceans. - **Heal**: **Naturally generated** in biomes with **villages**. - **Dive**: **Naturally generated** in oceans at the bottom and by fishing in deep ocean biomes. - **Repeat**: Obtainable only by brushing suspicious sand in desert pyramids and wells. - **Luxury**: Obtainable only by breaking Budding Amethyst. - Added config file in ```config``` folder with 10 new configurations. - From now, you can configure loot balls to allow loot for multiple players (works similar to Lootr mod). - You can tweak the **max amount of loot balls generated per chunk**. - You can disable loot ball fishing, archaeology, natural generation and other sources. - Check the details in the [config docs](https://github.com/ResistorCat/cobblemon-loot-balls/blob/main/docs/Configs.md) - Added new NBT tags to lootballs for mapmakers: - ```Uses```: Indicates the uses remaining in a loot ball. When it reaches 0, the lootball is destroyed. - ```Infinite```: Boolean byte that indicates if loot ball has infinite uses. - `Multiplier`: Float that indicates the bonus loot multiplier for a loot ball. (defaults to 2.0 for natural hidden loot balls) - Tweaked loot ball generation and particles. - By default, 3 attempts will be made per chunk (configurable) to spawn loot balls. - Hidden loot balls will now generate 3 sparks instead of 1. - Added **Loot Ball Finder** item. - Currently, it only helps to find **hidden** loots in a `64x64x64` area centered in the player. - It can be obtained by crafting. See the [features docs](https://github.com/ResistorCat/cobblemon-loot-balls/blob/main/docs/Features.md) - This is WIP. I appreciate your feedback on discord! - Updated language files and text formatting. - Removed unused `doLootBallFishing` gamerule and replaced with a new config. ## Fixes - **Critical fix** to NBT saving/loading for loot balls. - Manually placed loot balls should now remember the items inside correctly. - Fixed: Loot balls aren't generating in y-levels below 0. - Fixed: generated hidden loot balls not giving double loot after world reload. - **_Only newly generated hidden loot balls will have double loot._**

- Changed minimum fabric loader version to add sinytra connector compatibility.

- Fixed non-waterlogged loot balls when generated in water.

- Added **natural loot ball generation**. The remaining loot balls will be added in future updates. - Added ```generateLootBalls``` and ```doLootBallFishing``` game rules. - Loot Ball loot will now display the item name instead of the "path" when obtained in Survival. - Invisible loot balls will now spark more often.

- Added all the balls that exists in cobblemon. - Added compatibility with cobblemon 1.4.x (1.4.0 and 1.4.1 at the moment)

- It should no longer be possible to remove objects from (or insert) Loot Balls using hoppers/droppers/etc.

First alpha version.
