# ThePjotyr's Speedsters Data Pack This Data Pack adds to your game speedster super powers, which are heavily inspired by CW TV show **"The Flash"**. Obtain super speed, run faster than ever, defy rules of physics and become the impossible. ## Installation This data pack doesn't require any additonal resource pack or any mod, so it's fairly simple to install into any Minecraft world. Just download .zip file containing this data pack, unpack it and do one of the following: - You can add the data pack to your world during it's creation in "More" tab. In "Data Packs" option click on the "Open Pack Folder" and drop this data pack folder into opened directory. Then make sure that this datapack is selected and proceed with world creation. - Adding data pack to pre-existing world is also relatively easy. Just drop this data pack folder into "datapacks" folder inside saved game directory. Below is displayed default directory for this folder: > %AppData%/Roaming/.minecraft/saves/\/datapacks - It is also possible to add this data pack to any server, since it's multiplayer compatible. It's depended on where server files are located, but installing should be pretty much the same like for pre-existing world. > /\/world/datapacks ### **Warning!** Before installing this or any other data pack, make sure to backup your world/worlds. This is to ensure that you won't lose your work in case of an error. Also, this pack uses experimental features, which may result in this data pack not working some day or even corrupting your save files. As of now, there wasn't any reported issues with this, but just keep that in mind before playing. ## Getting powers In order to became a speedster, player needs to find a source for their power. Listed below are available sources. ### Thunder Strike If player is affected by speed, regeneration and poison effects simultaneously and then is struck by lightning bolt, there's a small chance that the player will be granted connection to the Speed Force. ### Particle Accelerator Player can build a **Particle Accelerator**, which is a single-block contraption. During storm, if it's powered with redstone and has **Positive** or **Negative Particle** inside of it, **Particle Accelerator** after couple of seconds will explode. One random player within the explosion radius will have a great chance of being granted connection to the **Speed Force**, if the particle was **Positive**, or **Negative Speed Force**, if the particle was **Negative**. There is also a really small possibility, that no player would get speedster powers from explosion. ### Velocity 9 Potion Player can also craft the **Velocity 9** potion, which will surely grant anyone who drinks it temporary speedster powers. There are certain drawback that come with it, but more about it later. ### Tachyon Device This is the safest and the least resource efficient way to obtain super speed. Player must first craft **Tachyon Device Frame** and then put it into powered **Particle Accelerator** during thunderstorm. After a while a thunderbolt will hit the **Particle Accelerator**, but it won't cause explosion. Inside it, player should find **Tachyon Device**. Then a speedster must take this item into **Speed Force** or **Negative Speed Force** and run with it in hand utilising powers of super speed. **Tachyon Device** will then absorb nearby tachyons, which will be indicated by glowing particles around the speedster. After some time **Tachion Device** should get fully charged with positive or negative tachions, dependent on realm it was absorbing tachions from. Any player holding fully charged **Tachion Device** in hand and pressing **Shift** will be granted super speed from **Speed Force** or **Negative Speed Force**. ## Using powers Every speedster will have name of their speed source displayed above their hotbar, so players will know whether they are speedsters or not. To access speed related abilities, player must first select last slot on hotbar. Then the display above the hotbar would change to **Speed Level Indicator**. By running with selected last slot, player will gain speed. Continuous running increases player's speed, and not running decreases it. Speedsters with 4th Speed Level are able to run on vertical surfaces for short periods of time. In order to do so, just look up while running and close to the wall. Reaching 6th Speed Level gives them also the ability to run on water or powder snow. With selected last slot, player can also press shift to begin **phasing**. In this state, player is invulnerable, but also cannot harm anything or anyone. Other than that, if player looks straight down, the player will **phase** through the floor. The same can be achieved horizontally by looking straight forward and being close to any wall. While running, if the player reaches 10th **Speed Level**, the indicator above hotbar will slowly turn white. When whole indicator is white, the player will create a wormhole and will be teleported into the **Speed Force** or **Negative Speed Force**, depending on player's speed source. In there, the player can travel great distances, because like in the nether, 1 block in Speed Force is equal to 8 blocks in overworld. To escape from **Speed Force**, player must do the same thing, that got the player there - reach 10th **Speed Level**. Leaving **Speed Force** has a small chance of leaving player in the nether or in the end. It should also be noted, that by doing absolutely nothing and having selected last slot in hotbar, the player will have visual electric sparks around him, which only purpose is to make the player look cool. ## Speedster Suits Any speedster without special suit will not reach any **Speed Level** above 7th. To get one of the suits, player must craft them in the crafting table . Player can also craft the **Suit Ring**, in order to store suits and quickly equip them. By wearing the speedster suit, if the player presses shift while holding empty ring, the suit will be stored inside the ring. By holding the **Suit Ring** with a suit inside, if the player presses shift, the suit will spawn into the world. Running into the suit will equip it. ## Speed Sources For now, there are only three sources - **Speed Force**, **Negative Speed Force** and **Velocity 9**. Every speedster can use the same abilities, but there are slight or not so slight differences between sources. ### Speed Force The standard source of power. Users lightning color will be yellow. ### Negative Speed Force Users of this source will have a red lightning. While travelling dimensions, users of this source will have their own seperate dimension called **Negative Speed Force**. ### Velocity 9 The riskiest option. Users of this source will have a blue lightning. They will reach any **Speed Level** faster than other speedsters, but after some time, they will experience random negative effect or effects. Those effects will strengthen in time, and after a total of 10 minutes of running with super speed, users will die from those effects. They can prolong the inevitable, by drinking another **Velocity 9** potion, but each time they would do that, the rate of their body decay will only get faster and faster. The only permanent cure for this condition is obtaining speed from different source in **Particle Accelerator** explosion or using **Tachion Device**. After dying from **Velocity 9** poisoning, player cannot obtain speed power from any other source than **Velocity 9** and the only way to change that is to use **Tachion Device**. ## Recipes ![Speedster's Data Pack Recipes](https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/jarRvOgK/images/abcec977cb28e51d75679aab377f97074ad11e2f.png) ## Commands All of the commands below will work on the player/entity that executed the command. In order to use them on other players/entities, add this line in front of them: > /execute as \ run \ ### List of useful commands *Reload the Data Pack. It won't erase any progress. Use them whenever something stops working or works incorrectly.* > /reload *-> reloads all files inside Data Pack folder and resets all scores* > /function flash:load *-> resets all scores* *Turn player into a Speedster or remove player powers.* > /function speed_source:\ *Give player items from this Data Pack.* > /function items:\ *Teleport player from/into Speed Force/Negative Speed Force.* >/function flash:\ *Deletes scores for safe removal of Data Pack. Reloading world without removed Data Pack will load again default scores.* >/function main:remove ## Customization Recommended way to customize certain aspects of this Data Pack is via command below. It will show a mini menu in chat and player would have to just follow instructions on screen. > /trigger Config Those changes are local, which means, that they will only affect player that set them up. There are two ways to make those changes global, for any player on the server. The first method includes using command blocks or external Data Pack. Using command below you can change players setting, where "1" means "on", and "0" means "off": > /scoreboard players set \ \ \<0 | 1> To make this permanent you can put it in always active repeating command block, and to make it affect all players just replace \ with selector "@a". The second method includes working on Data Pack files. It will not only make changes more efficient, but it will also give you access to other configurable options. Locate two files that directories are shown below: > \/datapacks/\/data/flash/functions/config.mcfunction > \/datapacks/\/data/flash/functions/config_default.mcfunction Open those files with your favourite text editor (you can just use Windows Notepad) and edit the values. After each command there is a comment describing usage of the constant value above it. After reloading the Data Pack, all changes should be applied. ### **Warning!** For all changes inside config files to be applied, you must first reset all those values via command below. > /function main:reset_config # #### Complementary Shaders v4.7.2 were used to take the photos in the gallery. #### Go check these shaders and their creator in here: https://modrinth.com/user/EminGT
