Destroy The Core dtc

This event is a relatively newer feature that involves players fighting a 'core' (block). 'Fighting' involves players continuously mining the block and gradually reducing its health. As the fight goes on, the core starts defenses which hinder the fighting players' abilities to break the core.

Config

reward-table

The reward table for this feature. Defines the structure of rewards, not necessarily who receives them. Each core type is responsible for defining the rewards the Nth damaging player receives.

winner-formats

Used in the fight winning message for player damage. Use this to custom color certain places.

core-settings Section

Defines types of cores and everything about them.

This section is very complicated, so we'll use an example:

location

The location the core fight will happen.

name

The display name of this core.

schedule

Times at which this core fight automatically starts.

hologram-lines

Hologram lines to show above the core itself. This can be used to show status or other information.

block-type

The type of block the core should be.

health

The health of the core. Health works as a simple integer and is deducted when players do damage. When attacking (mining) the core block, by default, the block will take 1 damage per tick the player is mining the block. You can also define certain items to be more effective such as pickaxes.

rewards

A section defining the rewards the players will receive. 

      rewards:
        all:
          - set-1
        '3':
          - set-2
        '2':
          - set-3
        '1':
          - set-4
The #1 damaging player receives the reward defined under '1' and all other rewards. #2 receives '2' and all lesser rewards, etc. Everyone who participated receives the reward under 'all'.

phases Section

This section defines how the boss fight gameplay should be. Things like damage vulnerabilities and defenses are configured here.

Phases are keyed by their health ranges. In this example, 1200-300 is the first phase and exists between 1200 and 300 health.

try-defense-every-tick

How often the core should try to start a new defense.

effective-materials

This section defines the materials which the core takes more/less damage from. This section is optional. If left out, the core does not change the material damages.

on-change Section

An optional section that defines the behavior when the core changes to this phase. This is useful for making the fight feel more dramatic and smoother. 

          on-change:
            new-type: COAL_BLOCK
            send-message-to-region: '&0&oThe air becomes heavy...'
            healing:
              amount: 750
              over-ticks: 100
              do-particles: true
              particle-color: 00FFFF
              do-sounds: true
            throw-players-away: true
            give-effects-to-region:
            - BLINDNESS:1:100

new-type

The new type of block that the core becomes.

healing Section

An optional section that heals the core over a certain amount of time.

throw-players-away

Tosses the players away from the core's location.

give-effects-to-region

These effects are given to the players within the region.

Defenses

Defenses are the primary way the core prevents damage to itself.

There are several types of defenses.

LANDMINES

A defense that causes players to take damage and get shot up into the sky. In effect, every time a player moves blocks they have a chance-to-set-off chance to activate a landmine. 

              type: LANDMINES
              damage: 15.0
              chance-to-set-off: 5.0
              vertical-boost: 3.0
              radius-of-effects: 25
              do-effect: true
              length: 100
              chance: 100.0
              activation-message: '&e&lThe &0&l&oCoal Core&r &e&lhas used the &3&lLANDMINES
                &e&ldefense!'

damage

The damage dealt to the players when activating a landmine.

chance-to-set-off

The chance to activate a landmine when changing blocks.

vertical-boost

The vertical velocity to give to the player.

radius-of-effects

The radius from the core's location landmines can occur.

do-effect

If visual effects should display on this defense.

length

The length of this defense.

chance

The chance for this specific attack to activate.

POISON_GAS

A defense in which a small area around the core damages the player greatly. 

              type: POISON_GAS
              damage-per-tick: 10.0
              do-effect: true
              radius-of-effect: 6.0
              tick-speed: 2
              potion-effects:
              - CONFUSION:1:40
              length: 100
              chance: 100.0
              activation-message: '&e&lThe {CORE_NAME}&r &e&lhas used the &2&lPOISON
                GAS &e&ldefense!'

damage-per-tick

The damage to deal to players per tick when in the effect cloud.

tick-speed

The tick speed controls how often players are damaged.

potion-effects

The potion effects to apply to the player when in the effect cloud.

BLACK_POWDER

An effect where players may get exploded when damaging the core.

Note

This defense damages ALL players nearby when it explodes. Therefore, a player could use it as an offensive weapon, technically.

              type: BLACK_POWDER
              damage: 10.0
              do-effect: true
              scale-damage-with-distance: true
              maximum-radius: 8
              only-damage-attacker: false
              chance: 100.0
              throw-players: true
              length: 100
              activation-message: '&e&lThe &0&l&oCoal Core&r &e&lhas used the &0&lBLACK
                POWDER &e&ldefense!'
damage

The damage to deal to the player.

scale-damage-with-distance

If damage should scale with how far the player is from the core.

maximum-radius

The max radius of effect.

only-damage-attacker

If only the player mining the core should be damaged.

throw-players

If players should receive knockback from the explosion.

ACIDIC_TOUCH

This defense damages the player's held tool or damages the player directly if not using a durability based tool.

Note

The idea, just like black powder, is to prevent players from attacking the core and start attacking each other.

              type: ACIDIC_TOUCH
              damage-durability-percentage: 5.0
              damage-to-hand: 5.0
              do-effect: true
              length: 100
              chance: 100.0
              activation-message: '&e&lThe &0&l&oCoal Core&r &e&lhas used the &a&lACIDIC
                TOUCH &e&ldefense!'
damage-durability-percentage

The percentage damage done to a tool when held. Note that this is done 4 times a second, so after 5 seconds this will break any tool.

damage-to-hand

If the player is not holding an item that can be damaged with durability, the player receives this damage.

SUMMON_MONSTER

Summons monsters that attack players to defend the core. This is VERY similar to the bosses feature's minions defense. 

              type: SUMMON_MONSTER
              entity-type: ZOMBIE
              spawn-amount: 2
              entity-damage: 20.0
              entity-health: 50.0
              entity-speed: 0.3
              entity-kb-resistance: 0.0
              helmet:
                type: COAL_BLOCK
              chestplate:
                type: LEATHER_CHESTPLATE
                color: '000000'
              leggings:
                type: LEATHER_LEGGINGS
                color: '000000'
              boots:
                type: LEATHER_BOOTS
                color: '000000'
              hand:
                type: COAL
              do-effect: true
              chance: 100.0
              activation-message: '&e&lThe &0&l&oCoal Core&r &e&lhas used the &6&lSUMMON
                MONSTER &e&ldefense!'
Most of the keys are self-explanatory.

COLLAPSE

This is a unique type of defense. Effectively, this makes the client think that it's inside a certain type of block and inable to break/attack anything. However, they actually can be damaged and attacked while in this state. 

              type: COLLAPSE
              do-portal-effect: true
              radius: 12.5
              block-type: COAL_BLOCK
              potion-effects:
              - CONFUSION:1:150
              length: 100
              chance: 100.0
              activation-message: '&e&lThe &0&l&oCoal Core&r &e&lhas used the &5&lCOLLAPSE
                &e&ldefense!'

do-portal-effects

If nether portal effects should be spoofed into the client.

radius

The radius from the core in which players are affected.

block-type

The type of block the player is spoof suffocated by.

potion-effects

The effects to apply to the player.
