Groups

This document explains all the groups used in this game.

Special groups

• not_in_creative_inventory=1: Item will not be shown in creative inventory
• not_in_craft_guide=1: Item will not be shown as result or fuel item in crafting guide (but still may be shown as ingredient)

Digging time groups

The basic digging time groups determine by which tools a node can be dug.

• pickaxey: Diggable by pickaxe. The rating is for the possible tool materials in which the node will make its useful drop:
  • pickaxey=1: Wood, gold, stone, iron and diamond
  • pickaxey=2: Gold, stone, iron and diamond
  • pickaxey=3: Stone, iron and diamond
  • pickaxey=4: Iron and diamond
  • pickaxey=5: Diamond
• axey: Axe. Rating is same as for pickaxey
• shovely: Shovel. Rating is same as for pickaxey
• swordy=1: Diggable by sword (any material), and this node is not a cobweb
• swordy_cobweb=1: Diggable by sword (any material), and this node is a cobweb
• shearsy=1: Diggable by shears, and this node is not wool
• shearsy_wool=1: Diggable by shears, and this node is wool
• handy=1: Breakable by hand and this node gives it useful drop when dug by hand. All nodes which are breakable by pickaxe, axe, shovel, sword or shears are also automatically breakable by hand, but not neccess
• creative_breakable=1: Block is breakable by hand in creative mode. This group is implied if the node belongs to any other digging group

Please read http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Breaking to learn how digging times work in Minecraft, as MineClone 5 is based on the same system.

Footnotes

1. Normally, all walkable blocks with the default 1×1×1 cube as a collision box (e.g. sand, gravel, stone, but not fences) will damage the players while their head is inside. This is called “suffocation”. Setting this group disables this behaviour

Material groups

These groups correspond to the Minecraft materials. They classify the block into a type, indicating what the block is “made off”.

• material_stone=1: Stone
• material_wood=1: Wood
• material_sand=1: Sand
• material_glass=1: Glass

Currently, these groups are used for the note block. Note that not all Minecraft materials are used so far. More Minecraft materials will lilely only be added when they are needed for a concrete use case.

  • container=3: Same as container=2, but shulker boxes can not be inserted

Fake item groups

These groups put similar items together which should all be treated by the gameplay or the GUI as a single item. You should not add custom items to these groups for no good reason, this is likely to cause a ton of conflicts.

• clock: Clock (rating indicates the “frame”)
• compass: Compass (rating indicates the “frame”)

This has the following implication: If you want to use a compass or clock in a crafting recipe, you must use group:compass or group:clock, respectively.
