Doll Facts
- dolls are small!
- dolls don't always feel like speaking up
- dolls can be used to play dress up!
- dolls can be made of a variety(3) of materials
- dolls can be secured to a player's shoulders with ribbon (shift+rclick ribbon to force dolls off)
- dolls can be renamed (only in world) with a nametag (dolls can see their own in f5 too) (this is cleared when you become not-doll)
- dolls can also rename themselves by throwing the nametag into position (look straight up)
- dolls are immune to drowning and freezing
- dolls are sustained by repairs instead of food (use your dollcraft item with sticks/clay/string in inventory)
- dolls can also be repaired by others with the right tool and material
There's also two potion effects you may see along the way - one's effect is reasonably obvious, and the other makes you hurt more.
How to:
you'll need to craft one of the three dollcraft items to become a doll!
- carving knife - like an iron sword but with iron nuggets
- modeling tool - like a carving knife but with two more nuggets on the sides
- sewing needle - like a fishing rod without the string. and made of iron nuggets
once you've got that ready, just grab a fragment of your self's essence (conveniently works like a bundle - right click yourself!) and combine your dollcraft item with the essence fragment in crafting - congrats, you're crafting your essence now! now pop that right back in with the rest of your self's essence (again, much like a bundle - left click yourself!) and voila, you're a doll!
ah, if you wish to return to being a player and not a doll, do the same thing but with a pickaxe instead of a dollcraft item.
other players can play with you like an armor stand when they crouch, and if they craft a ribbon (four strings around a stick), they can tie you onto their shoulder with it! (right click a doll to tie on, shift+rclick to untie all dolls)
oh, and uhh.. as a doll, if you want others to hear you in chat, you may need to SPEAK UP a bit. (or bypass this system with a \ in front of your message, but that's less fun and makes me sad. there's also config to customize or disable this, which makes me happy!)
tweaks:
launching with the mod will generate a config at <minecraft folder>/config/be_a_doll.toml, which can be used to tweak
the chat interference that comes with being a doll.
you can also modify a few of the tags:
.../tags/item/<material>_doll_care_materials controls which items are usable as consumable care materials
for dolls of that <material> type
.../tags/damage_type/doll_immune makes dolls immune to all damage types within (by default just freezing and drowning)
.../tags/damage_type/doll_modifies_message will add new death message translation keys for when dolls die
of that damage type - if you add more, be sure to also add translations in your lang file.
this only works on damage types of the format death.attack.<more...>,
and their dollified copies will follow the format death.attack.doll.<more...>
