\nWould you be a doll? I certainly would, so I made this collection of toyful tweaks for #dollgamers at ModFest: Toybox
\n<\/center><\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

### Doll Facts<\/p>\n

– dolls are small!
\n– dolls don’t always feel like speaking up (sorta like a mixed team + proximity chat)
\n– dolls can be used to play dress up!
\n– dolls can be made of a variety(3) of materials
\n– dolls can be secured to a player’s shoulders with ribbon (shift+rclick ribbon to force dolls off)
\n– dolls can ride entities friendly to them with ribbon (must be tamed and big enough to hold the doll)
\n– dolls can be renamed (only in world) with a nametag (dolls can see their own in f5 too) (this is cleared when you become not-doll)
\n– dolls can also rename themselves by throwing the nametag into position (look straight up)
\n– dolls are immune to drowning and freezing
\n– dolls are sustained by repairs instead of food (use your dollcraft item with sticks\/clay\/string\/resin brick (or.. dried kelp, if resin doesn’t exist?)\/gold nugget in inventory)
\n– dolls can also be repaired by others with the right tool and material<\/p>\n

There’s also two potion effects you may see along the way – one’s effect is reasonably obvious, and the other makes you hurt more.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

### How to:<\/p>\n

you’ll need to craft one of the three dollcraft items to become a doll!
\n* carving knife – like an iron sword but with iron nuggets
\n* modeling tool – like a carving knife but with two more nuggets on the sides
\n* sewing needle – like a fishing rod without the string. and made of iron nuggets
\n* flush cutter – a cross of sticks but with iron nuggets on the top and one of the sides
\n* watchmaker’s screwdriver – a stick with an iron nugget above and to the right<\/p>\n

once you’ve got that ready, just grab a fragment of your self’s essence (conveniently works like a bundle – right click yourself!
\n(really, yourself, the one in your inventory. your player portrait in the top middle-ish. right click that!))
\nand combine your dollcraft item with the essence fragment in crafting – congrats, you’re crafting your essence now!
\nnow pop that right back in with the rest of your self’s essence (again, much like a bundle – left click yourself!)
\nand voila, you’re a doll!<\/p>\n

ah, if you wish to return to being a player and not a doll, do the same thing but with a pickaxe instead of a dollcraft item.<\/p>\n

other players can play with you like an armor stand when they crouch,
\nand if they craft a ribbon (four strings around a stick),
\nthey can tie you onto their shoulder with it!
\n(right click a doll to tie on, shift+rclick to untie a doll)<\/p>\n

oh, and uhh.. as a doll, if you want others to hear you in chat, you may need to SPEAK UP a bit.
\n(or bypass this system with a in front of your message, but that’s less fun and makes me sad.
\nthere’s also config to customize or disable this, which makes me happy!)<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

### tweaks:<\/p>\n

launching with the mod will generate a config at `\/config\/be_a_doll.toml`, which can be used to tweak
\nthe chat interference that comes with being a doll.<\/p>\n

you can also modify a few of the tags:<\/p>\n

`…\/tags\/item\/_doll_care_materials` controls which items are usable as consumable care materials
\nfor dolls of that type<\/p>\n

`…\/tags\/damage_type\/doll_immune` makes dolls immune to all damage types within (by default just freezing and drowning)<\/p>\n

`…\/tags\/damage_type\/doll_modifies_message` will add new death message translation keys for when dolls die
\nof that damage type – if you add more, be sure to also add translations in your lang file.
\nthis only works on damage types of the format `death.attack.`,
\nand their dollified copies will follow the format `death.attack.doll.`<\/p>\n
