Creating Custom Tiers — Soul Shards The Old Ways Wiki

Introduction

Through the use of JSON, it is possible to add custom tiers of Shards using ShardTiers.json in ../config/sstow/.

There are some limitations, but it is theoretically possible to create thousands of tiers if wanted.

Example Entry

"3": {
  "minKills": 256,
  "maxKills": 511,
  "checkPlayer": false,
  "checkLight": true,
  "checkRedstone": false,
  "spawnAmount": 4,
  "cooldown": 5
},

Field Explanations

Field	Type	Description
`3`	Integer	This is the numerical tier of the Shard. You can only have one of each unique number. If for some reason you have multiple, the second one listed will override the first.
`minKills`	Integer	The minimum kills required to obtain this tier. Must be higher than the previous tier's `maxKills`.
`maxKills`	Integer	The maximum kills for the tier. Must be lower the next tier's `minKills`.
`checkPlayer`	Boolean	Requires a player is within range (16x16 area around the Soul Cage).
`checkLight`	Boolean	Requires the light level be low enough for hostile mobs to spawn (<8 light). Passive mobs are exempt from this check.
`checkRedstone`	Boolean	Allows the spawner to react to Redstone control.
`spawnAmount`	Integer	The amount of mobs to spawn each time.
`cooldown`	Integer	The amount of time in seconds to wait between each spawn. There is a config option in `SoulShards.cfg` to change this to be based on ticks instead of seconds. There are 20 ticks in a second, so adjust your values accordingly.
