SimpleBucketMobs

Throw mobs into buckets! :D

Warning

Plugin is still heavily in development and does not currently work.

Compile and use at your own risk, but I would not use this on my server right now to be honest.

Texture Configuration

This configuration is texture.yml which is specifically used for custom model data. Currently, the custom model data is applied to a bucket.

The texture configuration is made to be customizable in the event you wanted to make special textures for each variant of a mob.

For example, if you wanted to set a special blue sheep texture, rather than just having a generic texture for all sheep.

Using "default"

The simplest way to assign custom model data is to use the default option.

SHEEP:
  default: 1
PIG:
  default: 2

This is the easiest way to set it and will set it to all mobs of that type. In the above example, all sheep will have custom model data 1 and all pigs will have custom model data 2.

Using the nbtKey and nbtValue

nbtKey and nbtValue are the ways I will be referring to the NBT Tags. nbtValue is our "goal". The examples are simplified by removing the extra JSON.

Consider a villager's profession...

{ "VillagerData": {"level":1, "profession":"minecraft:none", "type":"minecraft:desert"} }

If we want to differentiate custom model data based on a villager's profession, our nbtValue will be "minecraft:none" in this example.

You would get to the nbtValue using all the nbtKeys along the way. This will look like this in your texture.yml...

VILLAGER:
  VillagerData:
    profession:
      "minecraft:none": 1

As shown above, you can use any information stored in the NBT tags to differentiate specific variants of a mob. Here are a few more examples...

Parrot (Variant)

{ "Variant": 1 }

PARROT:
  default: 0
  Variant:
    1: 1

Sheep (Color)

{ "Color": "2b" }

SHEEP:
  default: 0
  Color:
    0b: 0
    1b: 1
    2b: 2

Note

You can only use one set of nbtValues (in the villager example, profession).

The method used to search for the desired nbtValue is not recursive and will not find all possible values.
