Plugins

This page will provide information on how to make a plugin based on the pack's system and a step-by-step guide to ripping it off.

Host

The pack is based on lines of commands(functions) executed as all players in the world every tick. This means that actions such as playing sounds could potentially be repeated multiple times. To avoid making users deaf, the pack has a solution that is the host, which is the person who executes /function UHC_setup. Commands that are executed one time only or require conditions are all based on the tag. For example, to say 'hi' in the chat once every tick:

execute @s[tag=host] ~~~ tellraw @a {"rawtext":[{"text":"hi"}]}

Note that @s is used here, because if @a is used it would still be executed player count times. The pack executes functions in loop.mcfunction and runloop.mcfunction at 10 ticks per second.

Conditions

Conditions are achieved using additional selectors when executing commands as host. For example, saying "GGWP" in chat when the game ends:

execute @s[tag=host,scores={settings_state=2,var_alive=1}] ~~~ tellraw @a {"rawtext":[{"text":"GGWP"}]}

You can see that there is now a scores selector, which executes the commands only when settings_state is 2 and var_alive is 1 for this player.
These objectives are the variables that you can use. Their values are stored as the host's score.
In this case:

• settings_state stores the game's state (1=pregame, 2=in-game, 0=game finished)
• var_alive stores how many players are left in the game. When there's only one player left in the game and the game state is still in-game, then it means we have a winner and the game could be ended. This is when you should send the message.

This is just an example. In the actual scenario, settings_state will be set to 0 as soon as these values match.

List of variables

Objective	Description
timer	The timer which determines the current time of the game. Starts at 12000 for arcade and 36000 for normal. Reduces 1 each tick when settings_state is 2.
spec_timeout	The timer determines how long left to switch the spectating target. Starts at 300 and reduces 1 each tick when settings_state is 2. When it reaches 0, the spectating target is selected as a new random available player and the number is set back to 300.
var_alive	The variable storing how many players are left in the game.
anim_timer	The timer used for various purposes. Starts at 40 and reduces 1 each tick, resets when it goes to 0 and repeat.
settings_state	Stores the game's current state. 1=pregame, 2=in-game, and 0=game finished.

List of settings

Unless specified, 0 means the setting is turned off and 1 means on.

Objective	Description
settings_healing	Restoring health and hunger
settings_time	Game mode. 0 for Arcade and 1 for Normal. When set to 1, weapon enchanting is not available.
settings_gapple	Changing apples to golden apples, and changing tree saplings to apples.
settings_spec	In-game spectating when players are dead.
settings_autosmelt	Automatically smelting ores.

List of other objectives
