Radiant Goo
MercuriusXeno opened this issue ยท 1 comments
A new goo type suggested by Skyboy.
Fling it to place a light source, an alternative to torches per se.
Potentially it can be a temporary light source, but I don't have issues with it being permanent. This new light source would be a custom "air" block with some visual representation to make it clear that it exists. (It would have a hit box, no collision, and possibly custom particles)
Technical design notes:
- Definitely have it consume the goo, I don't want the entity to be necessary for the light source to exist, because entities are costly.
- Have it be about the same value as a torch, and about as useful. As a torch alternative, it shouldn't be cheaper.
Evaluation design notes:
- Change many things to contain light goo:
- Shroomlights
- Glowstone dust and Glowstone, sort of obviously
- Redstone dust (technically it glows, just give it a little bit)
- Torches
- Prismarine (Heeeeey!)
- Potentially others
New Procurement Routes:
- Logic + Energetic mixes into Radiant?
- Metal + Radiant mixes into Regal?
Interaction Design Notes:
Throw the goo and it consumes a bit (4?) to place the glowing block. That's basically it. It's a remote torch, in goo form
