Blocks

The blocks have no recipe because they should be used by a admin or creative-player. The nature of the mission-reward could be abused for cheating if a survival-player could craft it.

Mission-chest (missions:chest)

The mission chest acts as a target for transport-missions. The book in the right-click menu is used as a reference to it (placed in the transport block menu)

Mission-types

There is only one implemented mission block for now

Transport (missions:transport)

A simple transport mission, in which blocks/items must be place in the target chest (displayed in hud, if started) This block can be configured only by its owner:

• To: The target mission-chest (book-reference)
• Time: Time for the mission in seconds
• Reward: Block/Items rewards if the mission is completed
• Transport: Blocks/items to transport/craft. All items must be placed in the to-chest for mission completion

XP mod fields (for xp_redo, if enabled)

• XP-Reward amount of xp to reward on completion
• XP-Penalty amount of xp to take away if the mission fails (timeout) must be positive

Buttons:

• Save Saves the configuration
• Start Starts the mission for the player

Other mission-blocks

The other mission types are not implemented yet, but many can be emulated by the transport mission:

• Walk (missions:walk)
• Kill (missions:kill)
• Goto (missions:goto)
• Dig (missions:dig)
• Craft (missions:craft)

Depends

• default
• xp-redo?

Running transport mission

Lua api
