API for Addons

[Explosif3005]

Hello I was thinking that there where some part of MCA that could be given more customisation for pack and addons maker. For exemple wich block is used by the building scanner to create new special house (to have support for modded block) and have the opportunity to add new custom special build, with potentially some handler for the AI of villager, for exemple have the ability to say that say a lectern and chair (from a mod) form a forum, that become a spot were villager can go and discuss probably improving the mood. And such little thing. I think it should be relatively simple and give addons maker an more easier time doing thing.

wich block is used by the building scanner to create new special house

Supported, but not documented: https://github.com/Luke100000/minecraft-comes-alive/tree/1.19.2/common/src/main/resources/data/mca/building_types

I want to expand on "day of the week" as well as the concept of special days. I will keep data driven approaches in mind to support modding it.

And how should i go to add block or tag to already existing building. For compatibiliy for mods such as Conquest Reforged that add new block.

[Luke100000]

How would you make an infirmary then?

Iirc, I made it that datapacks overwrite building types.

[Explosif3005]

Overvrite completely?

[Luke100000]

I assume so

[Explosif3005]

I added a proposition for data driven modification of AI of Villager lower in the conversation

[Explosif3005]

Also when I find the time to truly sit down and write about it I have a proposition to add data driven task for AI

[Explosif3005]

I was inspired by other piece of data in MCA for that

[Explosif3005]

The Task for AI data driven should be divided into three part:
Location rules:
{Physical location -> a type of MCA Reborn house or a type of Structure
Block location -> a name of block and optionnal tag of block that have to be matched
Block rule -> Additionnal block data have to follow the rule (here i speak more of NBT data)
}
Activation rules:
{Villager: The data of the Villager has to mach the rules (data will also include the last task it as done)
Other Date: Other World Data such as the presence of a item of block at a location, or the time of the day.
}
Actions:
[ A quantity of action wich can range from interacting with blocks, producing resources, changing mood, moving or staying put, killing and attaking specific entity, going to a specific location, or going to the location of the task, moving items.... There should also be the ability to use special fonction set in the code to extract data from an item and use it in a following action. (For that look at tetra there should be something similar with the ability of weapon and tool. Such as the abilities of the shield
