The Event Block

The Event Block is a Creative-only invisible block that aims to provide users with information regarding current VaultAdditions Events [Link to the VaultAdditions page], alongside displaying the next scheduled event

Functionality

If an event is currently active, it displays these lines:

• Event active until: {days}d {hours}h {minutes}m {seconds}s e.g Event active until: 2d 20h 5m 49s
• {The given Event Display message configured in the vaultadditions_event.json config}
• (if the event is a Crystal Submission Event) Submitted Crystals: {submittedCrystals}/{requiredCrystals}

Otherwise it displays these lines:

• (if theres an event scheduled) Next Event in: {days}d {hours}h {minutes}m {seconds}s e.g Next event in: 2d 20h 5m 49s
• (if theres no event scheduled) Next Event in: No upcoming events!

Technical

• The text on the Event Block refreshes every 20 ingame ticks (1 second at 20TPS)
• The text is hardcoded, it cannot be modified while also persisting, for that theres the FloatingTextComponent Block from the Vault mod.
• The Event block uses a BlockEntityRenderer to display the text to players visually, following the players camera orientation
• The Voxelshape is the same of a Structure Void, holding the Event Block in your hand will display a Barrier Block particle effect at its position.
• The Block works very similar to the FloatingTextComponent from the Vault mod
