Deadlock's Story

Deadlock's Story is a very small Forge mod for the Deadlock's End modpack. It adds custom player statistics for progression systems that are important for questline and story flow.

Currently, the mod tracks:

• Gifts successfully given to Minecraft Comes Alive villagers
• MCA rooms created through the Minecraft Comes Alive blueprint system
• Bounties successfully completed at a Bountiful Bounty Board
• Spells successfully cast with Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks

These stats can be viewed in the vanilla Statistics screen and used with Minecraft scoreboard objectives, FTB Quests, or other progression systems.

Requirements

This mod is built for:

• Minecraft 1.20.1
• Forge 47.x
• Java 17

Required mods:

• Minecraft Comes Alive Reborn 7.6.16+1.20.1
• Bountiful 6.0.4+1.20.1
• Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks 1.20.1-3.15.6

This mod uses mixins against MCA and Bountiful internals, so it is intended for the tested versions above. I haven't tested newer or older versions so they may require updated mixin targets.

Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks is tracked through its Forge spell-cast event, so that integration is less fragile than the MCA and Bountiful mixins.

Added Statistics

MCA Gifts Given

Tracks successful gifts given to MCA villagers.

Stat ID:

minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.mca_gifts_given

Example scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add mca_gifts minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.mca_gifts_given
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar mca_gifts

MCA Rooms Created

Tracks rooms successfully added through MCA's blueprint system.

This stat only increments when MCA's internal room/building count actually increases. If the blueprint menu incorrectly allows repeated clicks without adding another room, the stat should not increase.

When a room is removed through MCA, this stat is reduced by 1, but it will not go below 0.

Stat ID:

minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.mca_rooms_created

Example scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add mca_rooms minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.mca_rooms_created
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar mca_rooms

Bounties Completed

Tracks successful bounty turn-ins at a Bountiful Bounty Board.

Stat ID:

minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.bounties_completed

Example scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add bounties_completed minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.bounties_completed
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar bounties_completed

Spells Cast

Tracks successful spell casts from Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks.

Stat ID:

minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.spells_cast

Example scoreboard objective:

/scoreboard objectives add spells_cast minecraft.custom:deadlocksstory.spells_cast
/scoreboard objectives setdisplay sidebar spells_cast

Configuration

A common config file is generated at:

config/deadlocksstory-common.toml

Available options:

[deadlocksstory]
debug = false

Set debug to true to enable additional logging for stat tracking. This is really only useful while testing mixin hooks or verifying that a stat is being awarded correctly. You'll probably never actually need it.

Development Setup

MCA, Bountiful, and Iron's Spells 'n Spellbooks are required on the local compile/runtime classpath while developing, but they are not bundled into the Deadlock's Story jar.

Expected local setup:

DeadlocksStory/
  libs/
    mca.jar
    bountiful.jar
    irons_spellbooks.jar
  src/
  build.gradle

The dependency setup uses local jar files instead of the recommended way (Reason: Skill issues… probably):

dependencies {
    minecraft "net.minecraftforge:forge:${minecraft_version}-${forge_version}"

    compileOnly files("libs/mca.jar")
    runtimeOnly files("libs/mca.jar")

    compileOnly files("libs/bountiful.jar")
    runtimeOnly files("libs/bountiful.jar")

    compileOnly files("libs/irons_spellbooks.jar")
    runtimeOnly files("libs/irons_spellbooks.jar")

    annotationProcessor "org.spongepowered:mixin:0.8.5:processor"
}

Building

To build the mod:

.\gradlew build

The compiled jar will be output to:

build/libs/

Notes

Deadlock's Story is designed specifically for the Deadlock's End modpack. You can probably make it work with your own pack, but I wouldn't recommend it. Feel free to try!
