10.0 Food Core 1.0.0

FoodCore 1.0.0

 

Introducing FoodCore

 

 

As many of you may know, I’ve been in development of a new project called FoodCore for 10.0.

 

By the time you are reading this post, it will be available to test in the Beta server before going live on the next map.

 

FoodCore adds the foundation for future food plugins to build on top of. One of the many things it does is allows item stack merging of foods with differing metadata.

Additions

Food Spoilage

As the previous residents of Aevos arrive on Azuras, one unforeseen issue is apparent: their food supplies begin to show signs of decay. Perhaps it’s something about the harsher air, but their bread begins to mold and their stores of meat and vegetables start to rot.

 

However, not all is hopeless, for the new inhabitants are clever in their survival.

 

With daily nutrition being a critical factor in their attempts of conquering these new lands, the new inhabitants have developed a way of storing their foods to ensure they do not starve. By tightly sealing their foods with treated leather, the contents remain unscathed. These so-called “Food bags” are now a staple in one's daily life.

Food Bags

 

These bags are easily stored and convenient in their use. Eating directly out of the bag is recommended to prevent the hassle of unsealing it.

 

Spoiler

To get your food bag, simply use one of the three commands

 

/bag

/food bag

/fb

 

Food Bags behave like soulstones so you can throw them to expel them from your inventory. Don’t worry, the contents are safely stored!

 

Sneak-right clicking with the bag in hand will open the inventory and you can eat directly out of the bag without having to open it! Yum.

 

Finally, should you perish, all the contents of the bag will be dropped upon your corpse.

 

Editing Foods

Some of you are avid chefs and prefer for your hard work not to expire. Fret not, for you are able to preserve your foods for eternity by simply nerfing it.

 

Beware, while nerfed foods may not expire, they also lose nearly all their nutritional value, essentially behaving as a cookie as far as hunger/saturation values go.

 

To nerf a food, use the following command with the item you’d like to nerf in hand

 

/food nerf

The Future

FoodCore itself will get some more feature updates after launch, including the ability to change the color of the bag and rename it.

 

There are many more additions to come for food as a whole. FabledFoods is fabled to release sometime after launch, and along with it will be a new overhaul to Animal Husbandry, Farming, Cooking, and even Brewing.

 

Keep an open mind, the future of LoTC plugins look great

 

Any bugs can be reported using our github tracker!

Cheers,

don't care. release the map already

I like it! The timers aren't so short that farming is an annoying chore, instead offering a reason to actually do farm RP instead of relying on free-food chests and Billy's baked taters. +1

Edit: I just found out there are also some Non-Perishable Foods, so that's epic for food variety!

Wooo pixtuscore wooo

I'm sure that there will be a lot of hate on this post, but I assume you weren't the driving force behind the (bad) decision to make food perishable. In view of that, the plugin looks pretty good on its merits and isn't as punishing as nexus was. I won't lie and say that I look forward to using this plugin, but I do think it's well-designed and shows consideration for those of us who may not agree with its intention

[PrimnyaQuorum 3999]

I think this is a really neat system and I for one am for any system that means I need less inventory space to store Mechanical/PvP slop, HOWEVER;

 

This feels like the itdontmatta war rules lore in that a non-st team is attempting to invent lore/story to justify something that will not be acknowledge or ever used in actual lore or RP. This totally removes player agency in the process of making flavortext before the mechanics.

 

Why would any of the magical or alchemical communities, whom have a plethora of ways as a whole of preventing or solving this issue, suddenly be unable to handle food going bad? Why are they equally unable to do absolutely anything to fix it (and thereby mooting the point of this plugin)? If I acknowledge this in RP and attempt to fix it, is it real? Will it matter?

 

it just feels like a heavy handed way of introducing a cool new thing. Food spoils: it can really just be left at that imo without any need to worry about what plot device caused it this time (curse you gashurokudo)

[lemonke 6014]

But why.... 

 

Who asked for food spoilage on minecraft. Why had this to be here?

 

I understand, the plugin is cool and you did a good job, but why was this an idea to begin with in any shape or form made by some people who surely(not you) don't interact with the community and are forever in godmode.

 

 

This also gives more power to nations btw.

 

Also @PrimnyaQuorumsaid. Many people have lore reasons to deal with famine, from druids to other mages alike. To undead straight up not needing it. 

 

I think this choice was made with the sole purpose to make it more difficult for the community and nothing more to it. A mechanic that ruins instead of adding for fun.

[lemonke 6014]

Also btw. People talking about farm rp being useful will soon realize it's an auction situation.

 

Where they thought by removing the auction there would be more merchant rp but nothing really happened.

 

There isn't going to be better farmer rp or making it useful. It's just going to mess with everybody.

My apologies if my attempt at making this post more interesting than "here's plugin. food expires" has impacted your ability to freely RP. Feel free to disregard it as it's not cannon lore :)

As for the decision in making foods expire, that was not up to me.

I'm going to be very blunt in saying that for the first time, i really disagree with this one i don't like it at all. But i can understand why some might  i guess I'm on the fence,  i think it will become a hassle and annoyance for most players. Cool concept though, i just hope something good comes from it.

That I understand. However, does the person who chose to do it control your mind, or anyone within tech team? Maybe I speak from a player standpoint but if I don't agree with something, and I am not really getting paid for my work. I ain't gonna do it.

 

Pardon me for my ignorance, but did anyone of tech team either refused to work on food decaying, or outright mentioned how it was a bad idea?

 

Your post is alright but food spoiling still affects everyone on the server, from lore-using characters to mundane peeps. It doesn’t seem I can overcome the food issue with my lore stuff or anything. I am forced to grind or buy it from shops.

I don't think it's entirely fair or reasonable to ask "Why didn't you all rebel against this flatout and/or harder?" 
Shitty decision as it may be.

It's not about rebelling but doing what you want. If I don't agree with someone, and It's not my job that pays me. I don't do it.

 

It's about telling this "person who made the decision", that the idea was quite stupid. If you don't complain and always follow through with higher ups say, there is never going to be a fix.

 

If what he wanted was listening to it, not liking it, and still going through with it. Sure, his life! 

 

The admins aren't going to put you on a cross, if you don't want to do something while being under their staff, and politely explain why. If anything, the one who enforced this change should have been the OG poster and not  Cheezboi

[Cheezboi9 618]

The thing is that there's a lot of people who don't like it who are verbal about it, and people who really look forward to it who aren't as verbal about it.

There's been a compromise and it was not my decision whether we did or didn't.

I simply picked it up because nobody else had the time to, and it was already decided that it was needed for 10.0. Either I did it, or potentially 10.0 could have been delayed further until it was done by someone else. Also, I really wanted the experience of making something like this from scratch.

I joined Tech because I want to challenge myself to make things on a team with a passion for coding. This was a great opportunity for me to do so.

All in all, I think it'll be a cool addition and it shouldn't be as annoying as people make it out to be. Bread expires in like 28 days with some items not expiring at all.

Well, for your first thing. Then ask yourself

 

"Is making food decay on a minecraft rp server where even Vanilla doesn't, a comfortable idea?"

 

I understand, not your choice and I am pleased to hear you did something for passion. Yet, the fact 10.0 was being delayed for this needless mechanic is odd lol.

 

Plugins and the like should be there to assist the players. Not making their life uncomfortable to the core, or cubersome. 

 

Now, still, your passion. I am forced to deal with something that wasn't needed AT all because it adds nothing but giving more mechanical issues to players. This is something imposed on me, and as any others. It doesn’t really give you a choice to ignore it, if you didn't agree.

 

And all of this because non-vocal players wanted it. Btw, they still got what they wanted! Food spoiling is there. So while your bag idea seems a middle ground. It isn't.
