Plugin Preview and Cooking Announcement

 

━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━

Brewing? Cooking? Community Feedback? We’ve got it all. With brewing nearing completion and more ideas in the works we’re happy to present to you a progress and concept post yet again. We hope to make these types of posts more common so the Tech Team and the community can be on the same page about changes!

Buckle up! This is a good one.

BREWING PREVIEW!

What’s Cooking?

[Plugin Concept]

 

If you watched the video there was a quick teaser which reveals what our vision with the brewing plugin would ultimately be. We wish to continue the theme of creating these QOL plugins which merely enhance the players experience on LOTC. Here’s some idea’s we’ve had for it so far. Comparable to the brewing plugin.

GOAL

 

While still keeping the idea of freeform creation and roleplay centric focus, our current plans with a cooking plugin would be more static then the very freeflow brewery plugin. The general idea is that you would be able to select from a list of preselected recipes that cover all default minecraft food items. 

 

Cooking

The process of cooking it would involve a basic task of ordering the ingredients into the stove correctly, as well as timing the dish to ensure you don't overcook it

 

Quality / Benefits

Some of the benefits for using the cooking plugin compared  to normal /edit usage of RP items are threefold, first it allows players to save edit tokens, provides a more interesting experience, as well as we plan to have food created via the plugin to have enhanced saturation. For example food made via the plugin might provide saturation for 10-30 minutes compared to standard minecraft food, allowing for a bigger focus on roleplay, rather than carrying stacks of bread. This additional effects will be removed during PvP, as the goal of these plugins are to simply support and flesh out the roleplay experience rather then adding more gimmicks to conflict.

Food For Thought

Similarly to the previous post about the Brewing Plugin, if there were a cooking plugin on LOTC how would you like to see it play out? What quirks / mechanics would you like to see it have? What processes would you put behind it? What changes would you make to the aforementioned concept?

 

We found community feedback to help tremendously with finishing the Brewing plugins concept and get it into work. We ask for your help once again.

FAQ - Brewing Plugin & More

 

Some commonly asked questions about the Brewing Plugin & other questions.

 

How will potion effects work with Brewing? What benefits will aging a drink have?

 

Potion effects will only be applied to a drink after the aging process. Each custom type of drink has a specific type of potion effect applied to it, while Vodka will give you Nausea, Blindness, and Weakness – Rum will give you Nausea, Blindness – and Weakness. 

 

The benefit of aging your drinks will be purely mechanical and kind of to brag so that waiting out a large period of time is not a necessity to your RP. If you age your drink longer it will get a better star value which really just makes the item look cooler, possibly worth more. Aging your drink will also increase the amount of time you have a potion effect for, the lowest tier star will give some potion effects for 8 seconds – while the highest level will give the same effect for 30 seconds.

 

Can we make our own custom recipes and drinks?

 

Unfortunately this will not be possible to have custom recipes. You will be able to modify the name and description of one of the base drinks (Beer, Mead, Rum, Vodka, etc.) to change it to your liking.

 

Tentatively we are thinking about opening it up to significant cultures and reaching out to RP group leaders so similarly to the Hookah Plugin they can submit their own ‘staple drinks’. We do not want to over complicate the plugin with repetitiveness and wish to keep it very simple.

 

Won’t this Brewing Plugin kill Roleplay? People will use massive spaces for distilleries!

 

In short; no. The entire focus of this plugin has been to focus and adding a mechanical aid to roleplay which furthers the players immersion. Obviously some can take this extremely seriously and grind out making the highest tier drinks – but that’s not a necessity for all players, and if you wish to take the grind route by all means go ahead.

 

Regarding distilleries, we do not plan for the creation part of drinks to take long, and equally the aging part is optional. Bottom line for both of those parts in the process they are single block instances so they take up minimal space – you could do the whole process in your kitchen!

 

Will / can the Tech Team begin focusing on more RP oriented plugins which bring more mechanical support to RP?

 

We hope so! It was said in the previous post that more and more broken plugins and outstanding plugins are fixed by the week – not to stroke our own ego – but Tech Team has been on quite the grind recently. 

 

This has always been the goal and the difficult part was getting all those broken-buggy plugins out of the way, but here we are now!

Looks like it's just armor stands from the images so I don't think there will be any server resource pack

This is cool

[TheCapybara 1803]

 

Does this means Poisons could be added? If this is created? Like poisoning people and a system to roll and check if the item is poisoned?

 

Aka

 

More Fauna and a revamp of the Herbology Lore? Will this be an opening to that idea?

 

[wowj 2744]

I don't really like the idea of a food plugin if it's the only way to cook food and make food, and if it gives buffs to food you create.
