Primary goal of this mod was to implement a better substitute for apugli's custom_footstep power, but I plan to expand with new powers, actions and conditions when I come up with some cool ideas.

I plan to make some of it a part of Apoli for Origins 1.20.1 later on :>

Features

1. Power Types

• Replace Sound Emission (techo:replace_sound_emission)
• Replace Sound Reception (techo:replace_sound_reception)

2. Entity Action Types

• Play Sound (techo:play_sound) - adds new fields to original apoli:play_sound entity action type.

3. A way to pass Resource power values as uniforms to post-processing shaders (via Resource Value Provider data type)

Power Types

Replace Sound Emission

Replaces a sound emissed by power holder with a different sound.

Type ID: techo:replace_sound_emission

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
sounds	Object		An object with "key": "value" pairs that determine which sound ("key") will be replaced with a new sound ("value"). The "value" can be either a String, a Weighted Sound or an Array of Weighted Sounds Supports regex matching (with referencing captured groups in replacement) and resourcepack sounds
replace	Boolean	true	Whether the correctly matched sound should replace the old one, or play along with it. If false, both old and new sound will be played
entity_action	Entity Action	optional	If specified, this action will be executed on the player upon successfully replacing (or matching) sound
priority	Integer	0	Determines the application priority of the power. If several powers match the sound only the highest priority with replace set to true will replace sound and powers with higher priority but with replace set to false will play their sound along

Examples

{
    "type": "techo:replace_sound_emission",
    "sounds": {
        "minecraft:entity.player.burp": "empty",
        "entity.generic.eat": "minecraft:empty"
    }
}

This example will replace entity.player.burp and entity.generic.eat sound events with empty, which will mute every eating sound coming from the power holder (minecraft namespace can be omitted).

{
    "type": "techo:replace_sound_emission",
    "sounds": {
        "block.([a-z|0-9|-|_]*).step": "block.$1.break"
    },
    "condition": {
        "type": "apoli:on_block",
        "inverted": true,
        "block_condition": {
            "type": "apoli:and",
            "conditions": [
                {
                    "type": "apoli:in_tag",
                    "tag": "minecraft:wool"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}

This example will replace any stepping sound coming from the power holder with a breaking sound used by the same block that was stepped upon (unless that block is a wool).

{
    "type": "techo:replace_sound_emission",
    "sounds": {
        "(.*)": {
            "id": "$1",
            "pitch": 0.5
        }
    }
}

This example will make all the sounds emitted by power holder have pitch set to 0.5 making them sound slow and low.

{
    "type": "techo:replace_sound_emission",
    "sounds": {
        "entity.player.(hurt|death)": [
            {
                "id": "minecraft:entity.axolotl.$1",
                "volume": 2,
                "pitch": 0.5,
                "weight": 1
            },
            {
                "id": "minecraft:entity.wither.$1",
                "volume": 2,
                "pitch": 0.5,
                "weight": 1
            }
        ]
    },
    "entity_action": {
        "type": "apoli:execute_command",
        "command": "say bleh XP"
    },
    "priority": 1
}

This example will replace power holder's death and hurt sounds with the corresponding sound from axolotl or wither (50% chance for either). The result sounds will be slowed 50% ("pitch": 0.5) and will be heard in distance of 32 blocks ("volume": 2, so 2 * 16 = 32 blocks)

History

Version	Change
1.0.0	Added the power
1.1.0	Added new fields: replace, entity_action, priority. Values in sounds now accepts Weighted Sounds

Replace Sound Reception

Replaces a sound recepted by power holder with a different sound.

Type ID: techo:replace_sound_reception

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
sounds	Object		An object with "key": "value" pairs that determine which sound ("key") will be replaced with a new sound ("value"). The "value" can be either a String, a Weighted Sound or an Array of Weighted Sounds Supports regex matching (with referencing captured groups in replacement) and resourcepack sounds
replace	Boolean	true	Whether the correctly matched sound should replace the old one, or play along with it. If false, both old and new sound will be played
entity_action	Entity Action	optional	If specified, this action will be executed on the player upon successfully replacing (or matching) sound
priority	Integer	0	Determines the application priority of the power. If several powers match the sound only the highest priority with replace set to true will replace sound and powers with higher priority but with replace set to false will play their sound along

Examples

{
    "type": "techo:replace_sound_reception",
    "sounds": {
        "(?!.*:ui\\.).*": "empty"
    }
}

This example will mute everything the power holder hears, except for UI sounds (ex. it won't mute minecraft:ui.button.click)

Version	Change
1.2.0	Added the power

Entity Actions Types

Play Sound

Plays a sound either at the entity's position or coming from the entity.

Type ID: techo:play_sound

!!! Note

The value of the volume field is used to multiply the base distance of the sound event, which is 16 blocks (1.0).

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
sound	Identifier		The ID of the sound to play.
category	String	optional	If specified, this specifies the category and options the sound falls under. Otherwise, uses the category specified in the entity that invoked this action. Accepts "master", "music", "record", "weather", "block", "hostile", "neutral", "players", "ambient" or "voice".
volume	Float	1.0	The volume of the sound.
pitch	Float	1.0	The pitch of the sound.
follow_entity	Boolean	false	Whether the sound should be heard coming from entity's position when it moves.
global	Boolean	value of follow_entity	Whether all players in the dimension should register this sound as playing even if outside of its range. If false player won't hear it even if they come in the range. Note: This does not make all the players hear the sound just as loud.
internal	Boolean	false	Whether only the entity that plays this sound should hear it.

Examples

"entity_action": {
    "type": "techo:play_sound",
    "sound": "music_disc.pigstep",
    "follow_entity": true
}

This example will play the pigstep music disc that will be heard by all players in the dimension it was played if they are close enough to the entity that played this sound.

"entity_action": {
    "type": "techo:play_sound",
    "sound": "block.end_portal.spawn",
    "volume": 1e9001
}

This example will play the sound of creating end portal all around the dimension with all the players hearing it just as loud (1e9001 yields special float value: Infinity).

"entity_action": {
    "type": "techo:play_sound",
    "sound": "ambient.cave",
    "internal": true
}

This example plays cave ambient only for this entity.

History

Version	Change
1.0.0	Added the action
1.2.0	Added new field: internal

Data Types

Weighted Sound

An Object representing a sound that can have volume and pitch. If in an Array it can also have weight that determines how likely it is to be chosen.

Used in Replace Sound Emission to provide a sound replacement.

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
id	Identifier		The ID of the sound to play. Can contain backreferences ($1, $2 etc.) of the regex groups matched
volume	Float	1.0	The volume of the sound.
pitch	Float	1.0	The pitch of the sound.
weight	Positive Integer	1	The weight of the sound. The chance of the sound to be picked is determined by dividing the weight to the sum of all weights (weight / sumOfAllWeights = chance).

Examples

[
    {
        "id": "entity.villager.yes",
        "weight": 1
    },
    {
        "id": "entity.villager.no",
        "weight": 1
    }
]

This example will return either entity.villager.yes or entity.villager.no with the same probability for both.

Version	Change
1.1.0	Added the data type

Resource Value Provider

Provides a scaled value from a Resource power (in order to convert an integer resource value to a fraction float).

Can be passed instead of any float value of a uniform vector/matrix in a post shader

Fields

Field	Type	Default	Description
resource	Identifier		The ID of the resource power from which the uniform value will be set.
scale	Float	0.01	Can be defined instead of min and max pair. The value by which the one provided by resource will be multiplied.
min	Float		The value to which the min boundary of the resource should be mapped. If defined with max, will be used instead of scale.
max	Float		The value to which the max boundary of the resource should be mapped. If defined with min, will be used instead of scale.

Examples

assets/example/shaders/post/chromatic_aberration.json

{
  "targets": [
    "swap"
  ],
  "passes": [
    {
      "name": "deconverge",
      "intarget": "minecraft:main",
      "outtarget": "swap",
      "uniforms": [
        {
          "name": "ConvergeX",
          "values": [ 0.0,  0.0,  0.0 ]
        },
        {
          "name": "ConvergeY",
          "values": [  0.0, 0.0,  0.0 ]
        },
        {
          "name": "RadialConvergeX",
          "values": [  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 0.9, "max": 1.0},  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 1.02, "max": 1.0},  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 1.02, "max": 1.0} ]
        },
        {
          "name": "RadialConvergeY",
          "values": [  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 0.9, "max": 1.0},  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 1.02, "max": 1.0},  {"resource": "example:intensity", "min": 1.02, "max": 1.0} ]
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "blit",
      "intarget": "swap",
      "outtarget": "minecraft:main"
    }
  ]
}

This example will let the example:intensity resource power control the intensity of a Chromatic Aberration shader
