Multipurpose Assistance Terminal

This update adds the Multipurpose Assistance Terminal (MAT), an item that combines the quest book with several other tools. This includes a comprehensive tutorial system that can be used by modpack authors to explain thing in-game with on-screen text boxes. See the wiki for more information.

The MAT

• Added the MAT itself, which can be toggled on/off with the ENABLE_MAT config option
  • Right-clicking opens its current mode, and sneak + right-click switches to the next mode
  • The item's name and color changes to show its current mode
  • Each mode can be toggled separately with their own config options
• The MAT has a tab bar at the top of each screen to switch between modes
  • If the TABS_SWITCH_DEFAULT_MODE config option is enabled, switching tabs also changes the mode of the MAT item itself
• Each MAT mode has a keybind, which are unbound by default
  • If the MAT is enabled, the "Open Quests" keybind will prioritize opening the MAT over the quest book
• The LOSE_QUEST_BOOK config option applies to the MAT as well

MAT Modes

• Info mode lists the player's unlocked tutorials and statistics
  • Statistics
    • Time played, deaths, and mob kills are unlocked by default shown in the Info screen's statistics list
    • Any vanilla or modded statistic can be unlocked (see the Minecraft Wiki for information about each statistic)
    • Three custom "life signs" statistics are available that show the number of hostile, neutral, and friendly mobs near the player (the nearby search radius can be changed with the LIFE_SIGNS_RADIUS config option)
  • Tutorials
    • The tutorial system allows modpack authors to explain things in-game with text boxes (see the wiki for more detailed documentation)
    • Tutorials are defined as JSON files in config/hqm/default/tutorials/
    • A tutorial called "The MAT" is present in the tutorial folder by default and serves to both introduce players to the MAT and be used as a reference for making new tutorials
    • Tutorials can be reloaded with /hqm mat reload or the vanilla /reload command
• Questing mode opens a copy of the quest book with the MAT's theming
• Crafting mode acts as a portable crafting table
• Tracking mode lists the player's tracked locations
  • Selecting a location in the tracking mode UI shows its distance, dimension, and biome, and a map of the area
  • When in tracking mode with a selected location, the MAT item will get a pointer that points toward the selected location like a compass
  • Exact coordinates and distances are hidden unless the SHOW_TRACKING_COORDINATES config option is enabled
• Storage mode is still WIP and shows a placeholder screen

Unlocking MAT Content

• A series of three new "data chip" items allow the player to unlock content in their MAT
  • Seperate items exist for unlocking tutorials, statistics, and locations
  • The NBT of each chip controls what it unlocks and must be set by modpack authors
  • Location chips can search for the coordinates of the nearest of a certain structure or biome and unlock those coordinates
• Added the /hqm mat command
  • unlock and remove adds/removes tutorials, statistics, or locations
  • reload reloads tutorial files without requiring a restart
  • tutorial play and tutorial pause start or pause tutorials for players
• Unlocking content in the MAT provides a toast popup by default stating what was unlocked
