Reeling Rods - Module

[runcows]

Reeling Rods

A module that expands the capabilities of all fishing rods, as well as adding 2 new fishing rod enchantments (Reeling and Barbed) which are mutually exclusive.

These are the first GM4 custom enchantments using the vanilla system; they are intentionally not metallurgy shamirs.

All Rods

Added the following capabilities to all fishing rods:

• Pull Paintings off walls *
• Steal first the item from an item frame, and then pull the item frame off the wall *
• Snatch leashed mobs from leash knots *
• Pull shulkers towards you *
• Try and fail to pull in an end crystal (it explodes) *
• Dismount the pulled mob from what they're riding (Bedrock Parity)

* These entities can be hooked with a fishing rod, but in vanilla the only thing that happens is durability gets used.

Reeling

Reeling is an enchantment that revolves around stealing or yoinking certain items from entities.
These interactions are locked behind an enchantment either for balance reasons, or gameplay reasons, allowing normal rods to maintain the interaction of simply pulling the entity.
Reeling has only 1 level and adds the following interactions on pulling in the entity type:

• Pull the chest from chest boats, emptying the items on to the ground
• Pull the associated block type from minecart variants
• Steal armor from armored wolves
• Steal a snow golems carved pumpkin
• Steal a sheep's wool right off their skin
• Steal a mooshroom's mushrooms, turning them into cows
• Steal honeycomb from a bee carrying nectar, making it angry at you
• Steal a horse's armor and saddle
• Steal saddles from mobs that can wear saddles
• Steal chests from ChestedHorses, emptying the items on to the ground
• Steal carpets from llamas' backs
• Steal armor from mobs that can wear armor from survival means
• Steal held items from mobs that can hold items in hands *
  • Stealing a held item from a villager sells out that trade and gives the player a 20 major negative reputation
  • Stealing a trident from a drowned will roll a random chance with a 11.5% chance of success (unless the mainhand drop chance is not default) this is the same chance as using looting 3. If the chance fails, the trident will break.
• Steal a happy ghast's harness
• Steal an enderman's held block

Barbed

Barbed is an enchantment that revolves around dealing damage, turning a fishing rod into a lethal weapon. It has 5 levels.
Barbed applies an initial scratching damage to the hooked mob on pulling and then bleeding damage over time.
The level scales both the scratching damage, and the frequency of bleeding damage.
Damage over time lasts 3 seconds, regardless of enchantment level.

Notes

• Stealing equipment with Reeling
  • Might want to investigate Add Opt-In Logging to Modules Usable as Griefing Tools #1037 for player theft moderation
  • Stealing is treated as an action for reeling, and the entities that can be stolen from are listed in type tags. To give one of these entities an alternate action, remove them from the relevant steal_* entity type tag and implement the stealing following the example of how villagers are set up.
  • Villager stealing: Currently, armor theft does not cause reputational harm to the player. However, this is easy to change.
  • Illager types: can only have hand items stolen, despite being able to wear armor through commands. This is because armor does not render on them, nor is there a way to put armor on them in survival like in the case of villagers.
    • A consequence of this is that pillager captain banners cannot be stolen
• Enchantment Balancing
  • Could be exclusive to mending or unbreaking if it is deemed necessary for balance
• Ideas rejected
  • Pufferfish: Wanted to puff them up, but setting PuffState has issues. Set once is fine. Then after it deflates a bit, setting again flashes and then reverts, having a jarring visual effect. This is probably a MC bug.

To-Do:

• Readme check and maybe make a gif
• Guidebook review
• ???

[Bloo-dev]

Did a full (excluding Guidebook and the folder barbed/) code review.

Nothing that's wrong, but found some nitpicks.
You should go over the header comments again and make sure they match the spec outlined in our docs (docs/ folder)

[Bloo-dev]

Whilst our header comment standard does not explicitly state how to handle macro information yet, we have been appending it to the parent function line, as a separate (optional) line seems a bit excessive. In the future we should manifest this in the standard.
You are right about only stating the keys, not the values, of the macro information. Make sure you state all keys supplied by the macro.

Suggested change

	# with {bit, UUID}
	# run from player/bit_{bit}_{value}
	# run from player/bit_{bit}_{value} with {bit, UUID}

Talked in DMs, agreed to shelve the topic of macros in function headers for a future discussion.

Quick summary: There is no consistent standard for macro information in function headers currently. Most modules just don't include anything. A separate line in the style I've done here is what I've been doing since the Blossoming Pots code review. There are a few other styles used in the repo. We should revisit this in a future discussion on code standards where we can standardize everything properly. Ideally headers should remain machine parsable.

I will leave this conversation unresolved, so as to not hide it.

NOTE for future us: I did not check this file.

A couple notes pulled from generate_files.py to clean it up:

• Stealing is treated as an action for reeling, and the entities that can be stolen from are listed in type tags. To give one of these entities an alternate action, remove them from the relevant steal_* entity type tag and implement the stealing following the example of how villagers are set up.
• Villager stealing: Currently, armor theft does not cause reputational harm to the player. However, this is easy to change.
• Illager types: can only have hand items stolen, despite being able to wear armor through commands. This is because armor does not render on them, nor is there a way to put armor on them in survival like in the case of villagers.
  • A consequence of this is that pillager captain banners cannot be stolen
• Ideas rejected
  • Enderman: Wanted to steal held block, but it is stored as a block state, not as item data, making it difficult to steal the item.
  • Pufferfish: Wanted to puff them up, but setting PuffState has issues. Set once is fine. Then after it deflates a bit, setting again flashes and then reverts, having a jarring visual effect. This is probably an MC bug.

As a last minute addition, I added a reeling interaction for enderman. You can steal the enderman's held block as a falling block entity that gets launched at you
