Description

RavenPost

Tame ravens and let them carry your items and letters to other players, even when they are offline or in another dimension.

RavenPost turns ravens into a living postal service. Find wild nests, hatch your own ravens, tame them and send parcels and letters to your friends, wherever they are.

Features

  • Wild raven nests generate in the Overworld, some with eggs inside
  • Hatch eggs in a nest or next to a fire
  • Tameable ravens with custom models, animations and sounds
  • Send items to any player: online, offline, nearby or far away
  • Write and seal letters
  • Delivery works across the Overworld, Nether and End
  • Ravens rank up with every delivery and become faster
  • Built-in settings screen for singleplayer and LAN hosts

Nests and eggs

Wild raven nests generate naturally on treetops and high rocky ground in the Overworld. Some of them already hold an egg, and you can take it with an empty hand.

You can also find raven eggs in chests in villages, abandoned mineshafts and woodland mansions.

To hatch an egg, you have two options:

  • Put it in an empty nest. It grows through three stages and then hatches into a wild raven.
  • Drop it next to a fire or a campfire. It hatches after a while (180 seconds by default).

Your ravens

Tame a raven to make it yours. Every player can own a limited number of ravens (3 by default).

Open the roster screen to see all of your ravens with their names, health, rank and what they are doing right now. Ravens follow you, fly with their own animations and escape from water on their own.

Sending items

Choose a raven, choose a recipient and pick the items you want to send.

  • Player nearby: the raven flies straight to them.
  • Player far away: your raven leaves on a mission, and a courier raven arrives at the recipient after a while.
  • Player offline: the parcel waits until they join, and they get a message that mail is waiting for them.
  • Another dimension: it works the same way, no portal needed.

If a courier cannot reach the recipient, it tries again, up to 3 times. After that, the items go back to you, so nothing gets lost. Mail that nobody picks up expires after 7 days by default and is returned to the sender.

Letters

Write a letter, seal it and send it on its own or together with items. The recipient can read it as soon as it arrives.

Raven ranks

Every successful delivery earns your raven experience. There are 5 ranks, and the higher the rank, the faster the raven flies and the shorter the delivery takes.

You also get a little XP for every delivery you send.

Configuration

In singleplayer and on LAN, open the roster and press the Settings button. On dedicated servers, edit config/ravenpost.json.

FAQ

Does it work in multiplayer? Yes. Install the mod on the server and on every client.

Can I send items to someone who is offline? Yes. The parcel waits for them and arrives when they join.

What if my raven dies on the way? The delivery is not lost. Another courier is sent, and after 3 failed attempts the items are returned to you.

Can I change the settings on a server? Yes, in config/ravenpost.json. The in-game settings screen is only available in singleplayer and on LAN.
