Presents-Giving Mechanics

The mod also introduces a presents-giving mechanic that occasionally spawns present blocks nearby the players. Each present block drops titan bows and arrows when broken. There are three types of present blocks: small, medium and large (depending on the amount of goodies they drop).

Presents-Giving Mechanics Usage (starting from V3.0.0)

Presents giving mechanic can be activated placing Present Factory blocks and activating them by right clicking. The more Present Factory blocks are activated, the more frequently present blocks are spawned, up to a maximum of 10 active Present Factory blocks. The current present generation frequency (called 'power') can be checked placing a Factory Gauge block.

Present Factory generation can be overridden using the command '\presents override set <power>'. This command set the present generation power independently from the current number of active Present Factory blocks. The override can be removed using the command '\presents override reset'. The command '\presents power get' provides information about the current present generation power.

Presents-Giving Mechanics Usage (V2.0.0)

Presents giving mechanic can be activated either placing a Present Factory block in the world or using the command '/presents enable'. This mechanic can be stopped only with the command '/presents disable'. The command '/presents setgeneration <value>' can be used to modify the rate of presents generation. The default value is 30. Higher values mean more frequent presents generation.

Crafitng (starting from V3.1.0)

The following items/blocks can be crafted:

• Small Present Blocks. They can be obtained from yellow and pink wool
• Medium Present Blocks. They can be obtained from two Small Present Blocks
• Large Present Blocks. They can be obtained from two Medium Present Blocks
• Titan Sigils. They can be obtained from iron ingots and redstone
• Present Factory Blocks. They can be obtained from iron ingots, Titan Sigil and lapis lazuli
• Present Gauge Blocks. They can be obtained from iron ingots. Titan Sigil and emerald

Note: it is not possible to craft the single bows and arrows but by crafting the items above it is possible to obtain any kind of titan bow/arrow.

Utility Commands (starting from V3.1.0)

The following utility commands are available:

• '/presents items get': the player executing this command gets a random titan bow with associated arrows
• '/presents items give <player>': the player(s) specified in the command get a random titan bow with associated arrows
• '/presents items spawn <location>': a random titan bow with associated arrows are spawned at the specified location

Such commands are particularly useful for command blocks.

Suggested Usage

The mod can be used in several ways but it has been designed for supporting PvP in small servers with few players. In this setting it is suggested to enable the present generation mechanic and set the gamerule 'keepInventory' to false. With these configurations players have to find presents as soon as the spawn in order to get some weapons. Once they have the weapons they can attack other players until they die and they restart again searching for presents.

Minecraft Versions

The mod is available for the following Minecraft versions:

• 1.15.2 (up to v3.4.0)
• 1.14.4 (up to v2.0.0)
• 1.12.2 (up to v2.0.0 and a little buggy)

It is suggested to use the Minecraft 1.15.2 version since it is the most complete and tested.
