## Dragon Egg Keep-Away (DEKA)!<\/p>\n
DEKA is a simple datapack made for my SMP that makes it easier to keep track of who has the server’s Dragon Egg. When a player picks up the Dragon Egg, it is announced in chat who took it, where it is, and plays a hard-to-ignore dragon roar to get everyone’s attention.<\/p>\n
DEKA remembers the culprit. If the player who last held the Dragon Egg removes it from their inventory and picks it up again, no announcement will be made.However, if a *different* player picks it up and gives it up, both players will sound the alarm.<\/p>\n
DEKA is multiplayer safe, ignoring offline players when announcing a hand-off, and silently removing them from the list next time they are online while a hand-off occurs.<\/p>\n
To manually remove a player from the list or reset the game, anyone with administrator permissions can type `\/tag @p or @a remove currentholder`. To edit the effects or language DEKA uses, navigate to `DEKA>data>deka>function>newholder.mcfunction`.<\/p>\n
**Future updates (no promises)**
\n– Craftable “Egg Tracker” compass
\n– Players holding Dragon Egg highlighted<\/p>\n
## Important Notes:
\n**While DEKA *can* track multiple eggs should duplicates exist, it cannot distinguish between them. This may lead to confusion.**<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
