mcMMO, give me ideas for Child Skills!
« on: February 11, 2013, 04:15:39 am »
Hi there, I'm a developer that works on mcMMO, and I'm here to ask you, that's right you, your ideas for version 1.4 of mcMMO.
 
What sorts of ideas, you might ask? Well, put quite simply, I want your ideas for new Child Skills.
 
What is a child skill, you ask? A child skill is a skill that you cannot level directly, but instead you level by leveling its parent skills. One such child skill already exists, and you might already know about it, it's called Smelting.
 
Smelting is a child skill of Mining and Repair, and so to level it up, you level up Mining and Repair.
 
What does Smelting do? Smelting increases the burn time of fuels as you level up Smelting, gives a chance at higher levels to have things you mine automatically be smelted (locked to level 250+), gives a chance for items that you smelt to be "doubled", and can give you more Vanilla minecraft XP when you smelt as you (locked to level 100+).
 
I'd like to hear your suggestions, and to facilitate that, please use this format for easy reading by me and other devs I'll have come read this:
 
Name: <Name of Child Skill>
Parents: <List of parent skills, separated by commas>
Perks: What your child skill does!
 
 
As an example, this is how you'd write one for Smelting:
 
Name: Smelting
Parents: Mining, Repair
Perks:
  • Increase burn time of fuels as you level up
  • Chance to have mined things automatically smelted when you mine them (level 250+)
  • Chance for items being smelted to be doubled
  • Increased vanilla xp when smelting (level 100+)
I look forward to your suggestions!
