Advanced Pillaging

Plugin category: World Generation?

Minecraft version: Any version 1.14+ (preferably 1.16.4)

Suggested name: Advanced Pillaging

What I want: I'd like to see a plugin where pillaging is a LOT more creative.

Some key parts I'd like to see are:

• Custom chests based on how many times players have beaten raids.
  • This would mean like, if the server has beaten a certain amount of raids, pillager chests would level up (including non generated pillager chests, so when they're generated, they're already a certain level). They all would have a cooldown time, and after this amount of time, they'd decrease a level, and so on until they're level 1 again (normal loot table). If chests leveled up, they'd have a better loot table.
    • Loot tables customizable in config file
    • Raids needed to level up customizable in config file
    • Max level chest customizable in config file
    • Cooldown time customizable in config file
  • Custom chat messages when a player: Kills the last pillager (completes the raid), opens a pillager chest, fails a raid.
    • Messages are customizable in config file
  • Preferably, this could link with Holographic Displays. This would display the chest level above the chest, example "Pillage Chest - LVL 4".
    • Holograph text customizable in config file
  • If a player didn't participate in any raids, they can't open pillage chests above a certain level.
    • Restriction customizable in config file.
• Custom raids
  • Custom mobs for raids will participate in certain levels of raids. This including creepers, enderman, ender dragon, wither, ghasts, and so on.
    • What level mobs spawn on customizable in config file
• Ability to manually start raids
  • This would use a custom command to start raids (must be near a pillage tower or village, doesn't have to be both). This would spawn the pillage mobs in a normal radius of the player.
  • Also, it'd have a command syntax to spawn a raid at a certain level (custom raids) using the custom mobs set in config.

Ideas for commands:

/raidstart {level} {player}

{level} not required, but if put, it'd start a raid at that level using the custom mobs in config. If not put, it'd start a raid at the lowest level.

{player} not required, but if put, it'd start a raid of a certain level (if specified) near that player (if they are near a village or pillage tower.
​

/raidend

Ends all current raids
​

/raidreset

Resets the amount of raids completed to 0.​

/raidchest {level} {player}

Spawns a pillage chest in front of the player

{level} not required, but if put, it'll spawn a raid chest of the specified level.

{player} not required, but if put i'll spawn a raid chest of the specified level at the specified player.
​

If any part of this isn't possible to do, that's fine. Just (if you wanna make this) try to include as much of it as possible please.

Ideas for permissions:

raid.start (/raidstart)
raid.start.level (/raidstart {level})
raid.start.others (/raidstart {player})

raid.end (/raidend)

raid.reset (/raidreset)

raid.chest (/raidchest)
raid.chest.level (/raidchest {level})
raid.chest.others (/raidchest {player})

raid.openchest (given to players who participated in a raid. never goes away) (if it's possible make chests open to only players who participated WITHOUT making a permission, that'd be amazing)

When I'd like it by: no specific due date

 

I'd love to give it a shot in making this for you, but I don't quite understand everything you are talking about.

What are these chests? Does Minecraft normally spawn in chests when a raid is finished? I'm not quite understanding what you are looking for here? Is it an upgrade to an already existing raid loot chest or do you want a new system made that spawns a raid loot chest after a raid is finished?

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea of having a better raid system compared to the regular Minecraft one. But I don't think everything that would need to be explained can be explained in this little amount of text.

To be honest, I think your idea is not ambitious enough, so I was thinking of revamping your request and creating a very big plugin for an improved and customizable raiding experience in Minecraft. Like, I don't have a full understanding of what you are asking for in this post but I've been inspired by it so I'll most likely be making a public plugin for this and I will try and make sure that what you want can be done with that plugin, but for that, I would need some clarification on the chests and some other information regarding raids as I don't really know how they work, so I'll be investigating that on my own.

I'll edit this post if my understanding of what you want has changed after I know everything about the current Minecraft raid system.

 

These chests are the ones in pillager towers. They are there since world generation. They aren’t spawned on raid completion. I just want the game to be able to tell if they are looted, and if they aren’t, then upgrade them via the request above.

Edit: I like your idea about extra features added, and I wanted more features than just the ones I listed, I just couldn’t think of any. If you do create a public plugin, please do be sure to send me the link
