\nFeatures<\/summary>\n
\n'How configurable each feature is' - the measure\n\u2614 if on\/off values,\n\u2614\u2614 if editable lists\/numerical values, \nand \u2614\u2614\u2614 if on\/off with editable lists\/numerical values)\n\nOr simply, more umbrellas more configuration potential\n<\/pre>\n
– Zombies can break blocks (\u2614\u2614\u2614)
\n– Additional zombie drops (\u2614\u2614\u2614)
\n– Entity multiplier (\u2614\u2614\u2614)
\n– Entity blocklist (\u2614\u2614)
\n– Daylight resistance (\u2614\u2614)
\n– Heavily armored zombies (\u2614)
\n– Day counter (\u2614)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n
\nConfig<\/summary>\n
`this section is excessively verbose, read it only if you are confused with the config`<\/p>\n
The config file is present at `your_minecraft_game_dir\/config\/zac-common.toml` where your_minecraft_game_dir is your minecraft game directory.<\/p>\n
**REMEMBER!**<\/p>\n
only registry names can be used in lists, for the additionalZombieDrops list you can use registry names of items (`minecraft:item`) and for the entity lists you can use the entity’s registry name (`minecraft:entity`) where item and entity correspond to the item\/entity’s registry name.<\/p>\n
This should work with entities and items from other mods as well, but has not been yet tested.
\nYou would simply replace the minecraft namespace (`minecraft`) with the mod’s namespace (`mod`) and it would look like `mod:item` or `mod:entity`.<\/p>\n
Here is a line-by-line explanation:<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# integer (1, 2, 3…)
\nentityMultiplierRate = 1
\n“`
\nPretty self-explanatory<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# list [“entry1”, “entry2”]
\nentityMultiplierEntities = []
\n“`
\nList of entities which are going to be multipled `entityMultiplierRate` times every time they spawn.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# list [“entry1”, “entry2”]
\nentityBlocklistEntities = []
\n“`
\nList of entities which either won’t spawn or will instantly get despawned.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# list [“entry1”, “entry2”]
\ndaylightResistantEntities = [“minecraft:zombie”]
\n“`
\nList of entities which will not burn in the day.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# list [“entry1”, “entry2”]
\nadditionalZombieDrops = [“minecraft:rotten_flesh=0.9”, “minecraft:bone=0.1”, “minecraft:carrot=0.009”, “minecraft:potato=0.0009”, “minecraft:iron_nugget=0.0005”, “minecraft:gold_nugget=0.0001”]
\n“`
\nList of additional zombie drops, the default zombie loottable is unchanged, these are merely extra drops with chances.<\/p>\n
To get the percentage in decimals (as used here), just divide the percentage number by 100.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# bool (true\/false)
\nheavilyArmoredZombiesEnabled = false
\n“`
\nDoes exactly what it says.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# bool (true\/false)
\ndayCounterEnabled = true
\n“`
\nAlso does exactly what it says.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# bool (true\/false)
\nzombiesBreakBlocks = true
\n“`
\nWhether zombies should be able to break blocks in between its path to the player or not.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\n# integer (1, 2, 3…)
\nzombieBlockBreakReach = 3
\n“`
\nHow far zombies can be from a block and still be able to break it.<\/p>\n
“`toml
\nblockMinimumHardness = 0
\n“`
\nBlock hardness below which zombies **cannot** break blocks.<\/p>\n
Check this out for more information about block hardness: minecraft.wiki<\/p>\n
“`toml
\nblockMaximumHardness = 3
\n“`
\nBlock hardness below which zombies **can** break blocks.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
