Allows players to use the brush to:

  • "Clear" mossy block variants (like cobblestone and stone bricks);
  • Brush snow layers to remove them without dropping snowballs;
  • Brush chicken to get feathers (why not);
  • Pet wolves (like the pat feature of Quark);
  • Brush mooshrowns to drop one mushroom without converting it to a regular cow;
  • Put out campfires;
  • [OPTIONAL] Spawns a couple of suspicious sand/gravel in any natural formation of these blocks on overworld/under caves.

cool idea

hybrid river
#

I began trying to implement your ideas and ran into a "small" problem and wanted to know what you think.

The problem is that the current implementation of the Brush only interacts with blocks that have a hitbox, this is so e.g. grass is ignored.
Sadly snow with only 1 layer also does not have a hitbox therby also not brushable.

I was able to change it so it also interacts with nonhitbox blocks but now grass and so is also brushable which doesn't really feel good.

any ideas?

does it introduce some bug?

#

e.g in such a case normally you can simply brush the sus-gravel behind the seagrass but with this change you cannot instead it would try to brush the seagrass...
and in a mod that tries to improve the brush I don't think this is optimal

oh i see

#

dont need to worry about the snow brushing

hybrid river
#

I could handle snow extra and check if you are trying to brush snow and only then let you. but maybe you / somebody can think of a better solution

#

if this introduce such shenenigans, you can sefely ignore that

I am currently working on making sheep brushable. currently, each sheep can be brushed up to 12 times and drops a string each time(there is a small random factor so it's not 100% of the brushes) When it eats grass this counter resets so it can be brushed again.
now I would like to add some sort of random factor to the amount of string each sheep can drop.
I thought of either just choosing a random value and saying "This sheep can this time only drop 10 strings and this one 13" or I could add a random chance (1% each tick or something) that the count decreases and you can brush the sheep for one more string.

what are your thoughts / Do you have other ideas?

shearing one sheep = 1-3 wool
1 wool = 4 string
1-3 wool = 4-12 string
the sheep could have a 1/3(33%) chance to drop 1 string per brush
-nearly guarantees enough string to craft 1 wool (12/3 = 4)
-when lucky, enough string will be gathered to craft 3 wool

#

this keeps the resources gathered somewhat in line with the wool drops but with the possibility* of slightly diminished returns, which I think makes sense

#

just my take

#

@simple pollen ?

currently, I have it so that when you brush the sheep at 50% after 6 strings it counts as sheared, and the rest of the strings you can get after shearing. In theory, you could exploit like: brush 5 times then shear (get 1-3 wool) brush the last 6 times

hmm

hybrid river
#

but I like the idea of limiting it to 12 brushes independent of whether it drops string or not

shell brook
#

the fact that you could technically shear the sheep after brushing it 11 times still exists with my* solution though.

#

I will think about this and return if I think of a solution

hybrid river

#

sorry my solution

#

problem exists for both just dif numbers

hybrid river
#

forget it... my bad

#

you are right 11 times...

#

what do you think about limit it to like 2 times and chaning it so it is completly indepenten from the shear state. So its just like a small addition and not a replacement to shearing?

in this case i would say every like 10 seconds it can be brushed once again for one more string

#

this would be the same system i have planed for chickens

shell brook
#

that would work pretty well

#

infinite on demand string lol

hybrid river
#

slow but yes

shell brook
#

is there a github for this?

hybrid river

#

if it isn't too far outside of the scope, I wouldn't mind trying to develop system like:
give the sheep multiple models/stages of "brushed"
the coat gets smaller as you brush it
shearing drops account for how "brushed" the sheep is

#

idk I think that would be kinda cool

shell brook
#

this your first mod?

hybrid river
#

yes

shell brook
#

ah

#

nw then I will hands off

#

omg I thought this was in a different server 💀

hybrid river
#

😅

#

which one?

#

Possibly also a datapack recipe system too for simpler blocks/entities

As for event, will respond tmw

hybrid river
#

btw @high nacelle thanks for the feedback

high nacelle
#

np, still have more to say but later

hybrid river

#

will test

#

thanks a lot

Sorry the necroposting, but @velvet shadow just made me notice that i forgot to tell you about brushing horses too xD

#

Also i had a strange issue where right-clicking composters was reacting like i had an item on hands but wasnt hold anything

#

removed useful brush fixes the issue, but pigs still enter love mode when right-clicked 🤷‍♂️

#

@lost holly wonder if you would have interest in check this related issue i also have with UsefulBrush

lost holly
#

I'll check that tomorrow if I have time

simple pollen
#

i really don't know what is causing that

#

and doing that "binary search" is not possible for my pack - like i said, three folders, one mod tied into another

#

also the possibility to be something from datapacks
