A port of the flower-decay and mana stats features from Botania Tweaks 1.12, for Forge 1.16.

(LGPL 3 or later.)

Edit super-decaying-simulator-2022-common.toml. You can:

• make any generating flower experience passive decay;
• set the decay time per-flower.

The Hydroangeas can't be made not passive, and its decay time can't be set longer than the default of 72000 ticks :) But everything else is fair game.

In the background, this mod transparently tracks the total amount of mana generated in your world, breaking it down per-flower.

You can view statistics by pressing the "View Statistics" key (not bound to anything by default, it's under the "Botania" category in the key bindings menu), running /super-decaying-simulator-2022 stats gui, or print them using /super-decaying-simulator-2022 stats show. (The success count of show is the total amount of generated mana in the world.)

Level 2 ops can reset statistics using /super-decaying-simulator-2022 stats reset. The stats are stored in mana-generation-statistics.dat in the Overworld's data folder.

An advancement criterion is available for rewarding players when the amount of generated mana crosses a threshold. Maybe modpacks will find this handy!

• Advancements are per-player (ofc), but mana statistics are global and shared across the entire server.
  • Every player will earn the advancements at the same time, and a player logging in after a mana goal has been reached will immediately earn the advancement.
• Advancement criterions are checked every 5 seconds, to avoid bogging down the server too much. This is configurable.

A worked example datapack is in the example_datapack folder of this repo btw

The criterion is named super-decaying-simulator-2022:generated_mana (note dashes vs. underscore). Its conditions:

• flower - optional string
  • Which flower type to track.
  • Valid values are the same as the keys in the config file, "hydroangeas", shulk_me_not, etc.
  • If this field is missing, the advancement will track the total amount of mana produced across all flowers.
• mana - positive long integer
  • The minimum amount of mana required for this advancement criteria to pass, inclusive.
  • You may specify pools, and it will multiply the number by 1 million. "pools": 5 is the same as "mana": 5000000.
    • You may specify both, if you really want. They will get added together.

Examples:

• {"flower": "shulk_me_not", "mana": 5} would pass the first time a Shulk Me Not is used;
• {"flower": "hydroangeas", "pools": 20} would pass when 20 million mana is generated using Hydroangei;
• {"pools": 100} would pass when 100 million mana is generated across all flowers.

Migrating from Botania Tweaks:

• The criterion ID is super-decaying-simulator-2022:generated_mana, instead of botania_tweaks:flower_generated_mana and botania_tweaks:total_generated_mana.
• Total mana and per-flower mana use the same advancement criterion.
• The criterion conditions (flower and pools) are the same as in Botania Tweaks.
• A mana field is available, instead of just pools.

I tried to provide an event for this so you could implement it in a Forgey way on your end, but god i hate Forge's red tape lol. I can't fire the event on the dang event bus, and I fear mod construction is too early for inter-mod stuff but creating the config file in common setup is too late. Maybe IMC? I dunno?? If you know how to do it cleanly, get in touch lol

For now, patch the tail of SuperDecayingSimulator2022#registerGeneratingFlowers using Mixin or ASM or whatever. Create new GeneratingFlowerType instances and hand them off to the Consumer. You must provide:

• a name, to be used in the config file,
• an IItemProvider (block or item), used as the icon in the stats GUI,
• the TileEntityType(s) that belong to your flower.
  • Usually there will be only one TileEntityType per flower, but hey, if you added a petite version of your generating flower for some reason, who am I to judge.
• Call .passive() if your flower is already a passive flower like the Hydroangeas.
