Once Upon A Stroll

 

Description

When you walk, the ground changes beneath your feet. Blocks turn into the next block of a sequence as players walk on them, and mobs can do it too. Out of the box the original chain is used: grass to dirt to path to gravel to stone to stone bricks. Paths for players are on by default, paths for mobs are off by default for lag reasons.

 

Custom Sequences

Pack makers can add as many block sequences as they like, one block per line as modid:blockid;chance. The chance is the percent that the block turns into the block on the next line, and the last line has no chance:

minecraft:grass_block;25
minecraft:dirt;50
minecraft:dirt_path;75
minecraft:gravel

Every sequence runs through all of its steps. Only the first block of a sequence is picked up from the world; later steps only advance blocks the mod changed itself, so a glass bridge you built stays glass even if glass is step 2 of a sequence. v_onlyAdvanceTrackedBlocks turns this off if you want any listed block to advance.

 

Walk Time and Decay

Lines can also set a walk time and a decay time in seconds as extra fields, like minecraft:dirt;100;30;600. Walk time is how long a block must be walked on before its chance is rolled. Default walk time and decay time options cover lines that do not set their own, and one multiplier controls how much slower or faster mobs are.

Decay is controlled by v_decayEnabled and is off by default, so paths stay permanent unless you turn it on. When decay is on, changed blocks revert one step at a time when nobody walks on them.

 

Configuration

Everything is in config/onceuponastroll-common.toml and can be edited in game: open Mods, pick Once Upon A Stroll and press Config. Edit sequences opens a scrolling list of your sequences where you can edit one block per line, delete a sequence or press Add sequence. A documented onceuponastroll.example.cf with examples is created next to the config; it is only an example and is never read, so do not rename it.

 

Operator Commands

Operators (permission level 2) and the server console can view and change every option with /once_upon_a_stroll, for example /once_upon_a_stroll v_decayEnabled true or /once_upon_a_stroll v_sequences add minecraft:sand;100 minecraft:sandstone. Use v_sequences list, <n> show, add, remove, clear and reset to manage sequences. Changes are checked, saved to the config file and applied immediately.

No need to ask just add it.
