Controllable Events System

Controllable event systems support a list of tasks for each event—some defined statically (to be executed whenever the event occurs) and others defined dynamically (using data keys as conditionals). Certain events that operate based on an "Attacker <-> Attacked" pairing can load or execute sub-events recursively, depending on the entity selected.

All controllable events provide a mechanism for executing standard event logic, whether statically (triggered by the event itself) or dynamically (based on data).

While all controllable events have access to standard event logic, not all of them can actually be "controlled."

Behavior may vary slightly between game versions for instance, between NeoForge 1.21.1 and Forge 1.20.1.

Supported event types.

Each event type can have its own controller, allowing skills to:

• Cancel events.
• Modify event properties and values.
• Execute static or dynamic arithmetic instructions.
• Disable specific movement and input behaviors.
• Trigger associated invocations and animations.
• Modify targets, damage, healing, knockback, loot, and other event-specific properties.

Additional features:

• Added event type registration using unique keys and associated controllers.
• Added controller execution followed by related invocations.
• Added data serialization and codec support for datapack integration.
• Added validation to prevent duplicate controllers for the same event type.

Combat Events

Added controllable combat events, including:

Animation & Attack

• Animation Phase
• Anticipation Animation

• Take Post Damage
• Living Incoming Deal Damage
• Living Incoming Player Deal Damage
• Living Incoming Take Damage

Combat & Defense

These controllers allow customization of damage calculations, attack behavior, defensive interactions, knockback, and combat-related entity states.

AI & Targeting Events

• Target Entity
• Client Target Entity
• Server Target Entity

Added control over entity targeting, allowing skills to modify target selection and execute custom targeting logic on either the client or server side.

Improvements & Optimizations

Entity Clone

• Improved entity clone behavior.
• Cloned entities can now imitate the player's LivingMotion.
• Added automatic teleportation to the player when the clone gets too far away.
• Improved camera-facing behavior and head rotation, allowing the clone to look towards the camera more naturally.
• When teleporting, the entity flashes white and emits particles.

Codebase

• Total refactored internal code architecture.
• Optimized general code execution and implementation.
• Improved code organization and maintainability.
• A data get system for instructions was added, to enable operations beyond simple reads and writes.

What a headache! 😵
