Technical details to modifiy the pack behavior
If you want to add support for new mobs that not supported by default, this section will guide you keep in mind you must use the same namespaces for it to work. > NOTE : when you see `ENTITY` inside function or tag you need to put the entity name without the namespace instead e.g. "minecraft:cow" -> "cow"1-adding mob
adding the mob into the entity tag #sap:fit_in_jar
you can edit the whole tag if you want to remove animal, or you can just addon top of it with replace : false
{
"replace": false,
"values": [
"minecraft:cow",
"minecraft:pig",
"minecraft:sheep",
"minecraft:chicken",
"minecraft:turtle",
"minecraft:bee",
"minecraft:rabbit"
]
}
2-adding right click functions
create new item tag inside sap named used_on_ENTITY and specify what items can be used on this mob
then create new function named interact_with_ENTITY in
sap:click_functions/loot/
inside the function you can run whatever you want. you can split the function into 2 or more if you want more than 1 click function or diffrent tools the default file for bee looks like that
execute if items entity @p[tag=this] weapon.mainhand *[minecraft:custom_data~{smithed:{ignore:{functionality:1b}}}] run return fail
scoreboard players set @s sap.function_cooldown 12000
scoreboard players operation @s sap.function_cooldown -= @s sap.entity_count
scoreboard players add @s sap.function_cooldown 100
execute as @p[tag=this] run function sap:click_functions/loot/specific/collect_honey
inside the specific function you can add sounds,clear items,give items,particals etc
3-breeding
to add viable food for breeding create(or use the vanila one) item tag under the MINECRAFT namespace called ENTITY_food
4-Tool for breaking
tool needed to break the farm controlled by the item tag sap:tool_to_break
5-Tool for killing
tool needed to kill entity in the farm controlled by the item tag sap:tool_to_kill
