Gamingbarn's Guns

GBG V1.25

Updated to Minecraft 1.21.7/8

• Datapack now works on the latest version of Minecraft

Major Gameplay Changes

Rewrote Ray Guns

• The Ray Guns have been completely rewritten
• Instead of a different ray gun for each gun archetype, they are all the same item and are cycled through by double-tapping [shift]
• There is also a new Ray Gun color, yellow, which is based on the shotgun gun type
• Ray Guns are no longer ammoless and now must be reloaded, but they still don't require an ammo item

Rewrote Throwable System

• Now, throwables are thrown with two right clicks; the first primes the item, and the second throws it
• All throwables (except for the Molotov Cocktail) will no longer explode on impact
• All throwables can be held to "cook" them and have them explode sooner
• Be careful, though, as cooking a throwable for too long will result in it exploding in your hand
• The only way to cancel a throwable is to remove all of it from your hotbar
• Throwable code is now much less laggy and has far fewer exploits
• Custom throwables are now possible with a datapack

New Features

Added Smoke Grenade

• A new throwable that spawns a cloud of smoke at the target area
• Doesn't deal any damage, but the cloud will inflict blindness and slowness for 6 seconds

Added Distant Explosion Sounds + Particles

• Explosions from Guns, C4s, and Grenades will play a distant explosion sound when heard from over 64 blocks away
• The distant explosion sound cannot be heard from more than 256 blocks away
• Explosions will now produce explosion particles from far away

Added Resource Pack Verify Pop-up

• All first-time players will be greeted with a popup to verify that they've correctly installed the resource pack
• The popup will show a picture of a Minigun and ask if the user can see the Minigun or not
• If the user can't see the Minigun, they'll be directed to the versions tab on Modrinth

Added New Medkit Sound Effect

• The Medkit now has a more unique sound instead of using a mix of GBG and vanilla MC sounds

Quality of Life & Minor Adjustments

Removed Interaction Range Item Modifiers from Guns

• The interaction range modifiers removing the ability to interact with entities and blocks have been removed
• Players can now store guns in item frames and open chests while holding guns

Added the Word "blocks" to Gun Descriptions

• The Range stat of the gun's description now specifies the unit of measurement

Made Crossbows Fully Unenchantable

• The custom crossbow enchantment to detect gun shooting has been tagged as a curse and as incompatible with all other crossbow enchantments

Made Expired Rockets Explode

• When the rocket projectile type hits the end of its life, it will initiate the block_hit function
• This means that rockets will explode in the air when they have traveled their max distance

Developer Changes

Added Gun Shoot Types

• Shoot Types are entire stat combinations stored on a single gun and can be cycled through by double-tapping [shift]
• Each shoot type can contain any of the normal GBG custom data components, but all components are optional
• If a new value for a given custom data component isn't specified, the value won't be changed at all
• This allows for guns to preserve attributes like damage or max_ammo between shoot types rather easily
• Additionally, if the max_ammo custom data component is specified, the current_ammo will be stored until next time that shoot type is cycled to
• (This is the system that the new Ray Gun uses)
• (More in-depth information will be added to the Gun Core documentation and Gun Generator in the coming weeks)

Added above_text Custom Data Component

• Guns can now specify custom text to display above the gun's stats, even across reloads and shooting
• This allows you to store custom lore for the gun, or information on its tier and category, even when the gun's lore is updated
• This new tool is especially handy for telling the different shoot types apart at a glance

Switched from Red Dye to Music Discs for Guns

• The old "Red Dye" guns have been replaced with "Music Disc" guns
• These guns function exactly the same as red dye guns, except that they cannot be deleted by accidentally right-clicking on sheep or signs
• Because of this, all interaction range attribute modifiers have been completely removed

Changed projectile_type to custom_raycast

• The name of the function tag used to add custom projectiles has been changed

Added Custom Slowcast Support

• A projectile will be determined to be a slowcast if the projectile_speed attribute is greater than or equal to 2
• A slowcast entity will be automatically created that stores all relevant info on itself
• Custom slowcasts can be added by using the new custom_slowcast function tag
• (Support for slowcasts will be added to the Projectile Generator soon)

Bug Fixes, Misc Changes, & Removals

Added C4 Detonate Limit Config Option

• Operators can now easily configure how many C4s explode at once when a remote is used
• The default value is 150, but this can be increased up to 300, or to as low as 10
• Value can be changed in the GBG config menu /function config:gbg

Removed Gun Description Style Types

• This feature allowed players to change the colors of the gun's desc via a trigger command
• Removed in order to decrease code complexity
• May be introduced as a custom gun feature at a later date

Made 2-Tick Fire Rate Crossbow Guns Function as Expected

• The old crossbow 1-tick fire rates are actually 2-tick fire rates
• Now, the proper rate of fire can be displayed in the gun's lore
• To see a true, 1-tick fire rate you can set that value for a music_disc gun

Removed Ammoless Guns

• Ammoless Guns, guns that don't use ammo and have bottomless mags, have been removed
• There were many special cases made only for ammoless guns, and these complicated the code a fair amount
• In their place, it is recommended to switch to using Air Reload Type (7) guns, which fulfill a similar role to ammoless guns

Rewrote C4 Remote

• The C4 Remote is no longer running on old code and using outdated methods
• This should result in fewer conflicts with other datapacks and a smoother experience
• The name color of the C4, C4 Remote, and Land Mine have been changed to indicate this
• The C4 also now has a durability of 10 instead of 5

Rewrote Medical Item Code

• Medical items code has been optimized
• Custom medical supplies are now possible with a datapack

Fixed Gun Reload Indicator Refreshing When Gun was Shot

• The reload progress bar would fill halfway if right click was held at the moment of the reload being over

Fixed Air Reload Type Not Working Sometimes

• Occasionally, the gun would display "OUT OF AMMO" even if the reload type was set to air
