Description

This is a small helper mod that I made to cover some gaps in Cottage Witch 2 that I simply couldn't do in KubeJS. Everything is toggleable in the config, in case you only want one thing it offers.

Since this is for my own modpack, I do not have any PLANS to adapt it to other modloaders or versions, but I am happy to accept PRs on github! And the code is all MIT so you're welcome to yoink it for yourself.

Here are the features it adds:

Hats:

It contains the assets from the mod Witchy Wearables, a mod I commissioned for older CW versions and figured I'd try to port myself for 1.21.1.
They have low armor and are mostly intended for cosmetics.

Addons to FTB Mods:

Permanently disables FTB Chunks' map (not the claim map, that stays) and death waypoints.
Allows for the colors in FTB Quests/Library to be bound to different hex values, as well as allowing for additional shortcodes to be bound to custom hex values.
Allows for the recoloring of the otherwise-hardcoded FTB Quests subtitle text.

Addons to SoulHome:

Allows for the selection of different starter structures rather than randomly based on UUID.
Enables day/night cycles and weather in the SoulHome dimension.
Also has some optional cross-compatibility with the Midnight Thoughts mod (phantom forgiveness for all when 1 player sleeps)

Customizing Soul Home Starting Islands

When a player first uses a Soul Key, a screen will offer them a choice of starting islands. These islands can be overwritten via datapack!

Pack layout

my_islands/
├── pack.mcmeta
└── data/
    └── mypack/
        ├── soul_island/
        │   └── mushroom_hut.json  //the picker entry
        └── structure/
            └── mushroom_hut.nbt   //the structure itself

Screenshots are textures, so they go in a resource pack, not the datapack:

my_islands/
├── pack.mcmeta
└── assets/mypack/textures/gui/soul_island/mushroom_hut.png

If an island doesn't have a screenshot, the screen shows "No preview available" for that island.

The island entry

{
  "structure": "mypack:mushroom_hut",
  "screenshot": "mypack:textures/gui/soul_island/mushroom_hut.png",
  "name": "Mushroom Hut",
  "description": "A squishy little home under a giant mushroom.",
  "order": 5,
  "spawn": [12, 9, 10]
}

Field	Required	What it does
`structure`	yes	The structure to build.
`screenshot`	yes	The picture shown in the picker.
`name`	yes	Plain text, or you can do translate keys if you want.
`description`	no	Text shown under the name.
`order`	no	Position in the picker, lowest first. Defaults to 0.
`spawn`	no	Where players arrive (see below).
`enabled`	no	Set to `false` to hide the island. idk why you'd want this.

Replacing or hiding the built-in islands

This mod comes with the following entries in data/broom_closet/soul_island/:

File	Island
`island0.json`	Blank Slate
`island1.json`	Warped Isle
`island2.json`	Spruce Pond
`island3.json`	Placeholder (already hidden)

To replace one: put your own file at the same path in your datapack.
To hide one: make the file contain just {"enabled": false}.

If every island is hidden, the picker doesn't appear and SoulHome picks a random island based on UUID like it normally does. Note that this is broken in the main mod, so use with caution.
