Configuration Files

The mod's behavior is defined through five primary JSON files. Each file handles a specific type of event or state.

File Name Purpose
effects.json Adds potion effects or sets the player on fire based on environmental conditions.
breakevents.json Controls what happens when a player attempts to break a block (can prevent breaking).
placeevents.json Controls what happens when a player attempts to place a block (can prevent placement).
leftclicks.json Manages actions and restrictions when a player left-clicks a block.
rightclicks.json Manages actions and restrictions when a player right-clicks a block.

Rule Structure

Every rule within these files consists of three main parts: 1. Conditions: Tests that must be true for the rule to execute (e.g., "Is the player in the Nether?"). 2. Actions: The results of the rule (e.g., "Apply Slowness II"). 3. Result: Specifically for event files, this determines if the action is allowed or denied.

Commands

The mod provides administrative commands to help test and reload configurations without restarting the game.

  • /fxcontrol reload: Reloads all JSON configuration files from the disk. This is essential for testing changes to effects.json or event files.
  • /fxcontrol debug: Toggles debug mode. When active, the mod will output detailed information to the server log whenever a rule is evaluated, helping to identify why a specific effect is or isn't triggering.

Example Configurations

Poison in the Nether (effects.json)

This rule applies Poison I to any player in the Nether who is not wearing a full set of gold armor (assuming gold armor is checked via other conditions or NBT).
