Some suggestions for tool interactions with various blocks

[Keeg-Turner]

My suggestions are as follows:

• Add options to make grass blocks drop seeds when a hoe and/or shovel is used on them (a nod to the pre-beta 1.6 days)
• Add options to make mycelium drop brown and/or red mushrooms when a hoe and/or shovel is used on it
• Add option to make podzol drop spruce saplings when a hoe and/or shovel is used on it
• Add options to make logs/wood have a chance to drop paper upon being stripped (like this data pack)
• Add options to use a hoe on mossy cobblestone, mossy stone bricks, and infested mossy stone bricks to turn them into their non-mossy equivalents, and additional options to give these blocks a chance to drop moss carpet and/or vines upon doing this
• Add an option to expand the amount of blocks that can be turned into farmland (equivalent to the one that already existed for dirt paths)

To summarize, I'd recommend implementing the default settings like so (I tried to follow the purpur.yml format as closely as possible, but there may still be a better way to organize these):

Fully implemented as of build 2033 5f858fb Listed below is an example of how to use the options. (hijacking this comment to make it the accepted answer)

I'm looking into this right now, starting with the hoe. Looking over the way the hoe is implemented, I think I can do this by adding the config like this:

tool:
 hoe:
   tilling:
     grass_block:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop: {}
     dirt_path:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop: {}
     dirt:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop: {}
     coarse_dirt:
       condition: air_above
       into: dirt
       drop: {}
     rooted_dirt:
       condition: always
       into: dirt
       drop:
         hanging_roots: 1.0

That would be the default config to match vanilla's behavior perfectly, while allowing endless possibilities including all the ones you mentioned above.

Example:

tool:
 hoe:
   tilling:
     grass_block:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop:
         wheat_seeds: 0.1
     dirt_path:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop: {}
     dirt:
       condition: air_above
       into: farmland
       drop: {}
     coarse_dirt:
       condition: air_above
       into: dirt
       drop: {}
     rooted_dirt:
       condition: always
       into: dirt
       drop:
         hanging_roots: 1.0
     mycelium:
       condition: air_above
       into: grass_block
       drop:
         brown_mushroom: 0.25
         red_mushroom: 0.25
     podzol:
       condition: air_above
       into: coarse_dirt
       drop:
         spruce_sapling: 0.5
     mossy_cobblestone:
       condition: always
       into: cobblestone
       drop:
         moss_carpet: 0.2
         vines: 0.1
     mossy_stone_bricks:
       condition: always
       into: stone_bricks
       drop:
         moss_carpet: 0.2
         vines: 0.1
     infested_mossy_stone_bricks:
       condition: always
       into: infested_stone_bricks
       drop:
         moss_carpet: 0.2
         vines: 0.1

Oh, cool! The thought that my suggestions should probably be made more generalizable had started to bumble around in my head, but I wasn't sure how it should be implemented. This is perfect though; thanks Billy!

[BillyGalbreath]

The only ambiguous thing left to sort out is what to do when there's more than 1 item drop in the list. Should it have the opportunity to drop all the items in the list (if they all pass RNG), or should it stop trying once one of them passes RNG and only drop the one item? Hmm... decisions decisions...

[Keeg-Turner]

Maybe have an additional setting called max-drops or something that accepts integers? I have no idea whether the mechanics are actually conducive to that though.

[YouHaveTrouble]

How about just linking it to a loot table?

Added the hoe tilling options in build 1237 1a325f6

Next up, axes ^_^

[BillyGalbreath]

Now we have axe actionable options in build 1255 89c9c90

I actually made it cover all 3 there were in there. Stripping, Scraping, and Waxing Off. Technically all 3 do the same thing, but they have different sounds, so I kept them separate in the config.

Strippables are things that can be stripped (wood and logs).
Scrappables are things that are scraped (weathered copper).
Waxables are things that can be waxed off (waxed copper).

Next up, moving the existing shovel options we have into this new system so you can do the things in your suggestion ^_^

[granny]

shovel actionable options have been added as of build 2032 5f858fb

Only took more than 2 years to finish this feature request off 😅 Hope it's still of use to you :)
