Features:
- Lock Everything: You can block access to specific items, entire mods, recipes, dimensions, and even structures until players unlock them.
- Custom Unlocks: Players can open new eras by doing research, finding items, visiting new biomes, or killing certain mobs.
- In-Game Editor: You can build and change all your stages right inside the game menu without messing with complicated text files.
- Blocks specific mobs from spawning or attacking players until the right stage is reached.
- Hides or changes the loot inside chests and drops from monsters based on the current era.
- Stops players from breaking blocks, opening chests, or using enchanting tables if they do not have the right stage.
- Shows clear lock icons and messages on the screen so players always know why they cannot use an item yet.
- Sets up stages that apply to everyone on the server at once or just for individual players.
Unlock Methods:
- Research mode makes players bring scrolls to a special pedestal and wait for the research to finish.
- Auto mode unlocks things automatically when players pick up an item, enter a biome, or play for a certain amount of time.
- Temporary mode opens a stage for a short time and then locks it again when the timer runs out.
Commands:
/give @s historystages:research_scroll{StageResearch:"YOUR_STAGE_NAME"}: gives you a research scroll for a specific stage.
How to Use:
- Make sure you have operator permissions in your game to create stages.
- Open the pause menu and click the stage editor button.
- Create a new stage and choose what items, mobs, or dimensions you want to lock.
- Set up how players will unlock this stage, like using a Research Pedestal or completing an action.
- Give players a way to get Research Scrolls if you are using the default research system.
