Modpack Guidance

This page contains guidance on how the tags from Provi's Origins are intended to be populated. This may help with creating modpacks, for example.

Items

Common

• proviorigins:common/hydration
  • Used for items that should hydrate the player when drunk, such as water bottles and potions.

Alraune

Summoning

• proviorigins:alraune/summon_aoe
• proviorigins:alraune/summon_pull
• proviorigins:alraune/summon_push
• proviorigins:alraune/summon_projectile

These tags should only contain flowers and flower-like items. The projectile tag in specific is intended to contain rarer flowers.

Super Fertiliser

• proviorigins:alraune/super_fertiliser
  • Used to extend the lifespan of Alraune minions, should be renewable end-game items.

Kraken of Decay

Soul Consume

• proviorigins:decaykraken/weak_consume
• proviorigins:decaykraken/medium_consume
• proviorigins:decaykraken/max_consume

These tags should contain items which hold souls, or can be reasonably assumed to do something along those themes. Each tag listed is for progressively rarer items.

Soul Carry

• proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_carry
  • Soul lanterns should be placed here.

Faerie Moth

• proviorigins:faemoth/light_sources
  • Torches and lanterns should be placed here.
    • Already includes the proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_carry tag.

Lily of the Void

• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_armour
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_blindness
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_corruption
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_fire_resistance
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_glow
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_jump_boost
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_night_vision
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_regeneration
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_saturation
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_speed
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_teleport
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_thorns
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_water_breathing
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_weakness
• proviorigins:voidlily/grants_wither

Any plant (not fungus, mushrooms are not plants) can be placed in these tags. By default, if the plant has a suspicious stew recipe then that effect should be used; otherwise, it depends on context and other properties of the plant in question.

Note: if the plant is supposed to poison or is otherwise void/End/lily-related, then proviorigins:voidlily/grants_corruption should be used.

Blocks

Alraune

• proviorigins:alraune/foliage
  • Plant blocks that the Alraune should be able to punch through.
  • Only blocks that have no collision will work, it is safe to add large plant block tags here because solid blocks are ignored by the power anyway.

Kraken of Decay

• proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_fires
  • Blocks that always contain soul fire.
• proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_fire_lit_state
  • Blocks that only contain soul fire if their "lit" state is true. (Such as campfires.)
• proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_fire_fire_state
  • Blocks that only contain soul fire if their "fire" state is true. (BetterNether soul bowls.)

Faerie Moth

• proviorigins:faemoth/large_fires
• proviorigins:faemoth/large_fires_fire_state
• proviorigins:faemoth/large_fires_lit_state
• proviorigins:faemoth/torches
  • All torch blocks should go here.

The large_fires series of tags works the same as the Kraken's soul fire equivalent and included those respective tags. These should be populated with blocks that are a large source of fire. proviorigins:faemoth/torches is for any torch block.

Jelly Sculk

• proviorigins:jellysculk/sculk
  • Used for any sculk-related block.

Lily of the Void

Void Touching

• proviorigins:voidlily/void_touching
  • Hard to obtain/place blocks that are related to the void.
    • Examples: bedrock touches the void in worldgen, portals cannot be "placed" and connect dimensions together.
• proviorigins:voidlily/weakly_void_touching
  • Easier to obtain blocks that are related to the void.
    • Examples: crying obsidian can be found in ruined portals and can be theorised to be caused by portal use.
      • Did you know: crying obsidian was originally intended to be obtainable in vanilla by throwing obsidian through a portal.

General

• proviorigins:lily_of_the_void_plantable
  • Blocks that the Lily of the Void (flower) should be plantable on.
  • Includes the Void Touching tags.
  • Examples: some of the grass from BetterEnd qualifies for this.
    • Use your own discretion.

Entity Types

Common

• proviorigins:common/can_trade
  • Mobs that the player can trade with.
  • This is only used for preventing the Homunculus from trading, discretion should be used here on whether or not a modded mob would want to trade with them.

Jelly Sculk

• proviorigins:jellysculk/always_detect
  • Mobs that the Jelly Sculk should aways have detected (visible glowing outline).
  • Bosses and flying mobs are included for fairness.
  • Very loud mobs fit in here too.
• proviorigins:jellysculk/always_visible
  • Entities that should always be visible, but without a glowing outline.
  • Currently only used for "living" entities that are not mobs. (The armour stand.)

Note: the Jellysculk can always see non-living entities such as projectiles and minecarts regardless.

Biomes

Common

• proviorigins:hot_underground
  • Biomes which should be considered hot even underground.
  • Used to separate the underground of a desert (should not be hot underground) from places like the Nether (should be hot everywhere).

Alraune

• proviorigins:alraune/natural
  • Any biome rich in plant-life.
  • Contains several convention tags by default, may not be necessary to change it.
• proviorigins:alraune/always_grow
  • For "natural" biomes that are underground or otherwise have no access to the sky.
  • This is used to bypass the skylight check for summoned Flower Minions.

Kraken of Decay

• proviorigins:decaykraken/has_saltwater
  • These biomes have water that is safe for the Kraken.
  • Populate this with biomes that should have saltwater (oceans, beaches, coasts, etc).
    • For reference, rivers and lakes typically have freshwater, not saltwater.
  • Includes the irrelevant_salinity tag.
• proviorigins:decaykraken/irrelevant_salinity
  • Biomes where the type of water is completely ambiguous, intended to be harmless, or otherwise artificially imported.
    • Nether(?), The End, floating islands, mushroom islands, etc.
• proviorigins:decaykraken/soul_collector
  • Biomes with large soul sand content.
  • Biomes with otherwise could be considered to hold many trapped souls.
