Tier System: Tiered Progression!



What this mod allows you to do is setup different tiers for yourself. When you start out, you are on tier 0, and are heavily restricted on what you can craft with. When you kill specified mobs, the next tier will unlock, allowing you to craft with that tier's items, but not with higher tier items.

For example: cobblestone could be restricted until you kill a pig and a cow, but once you do, you can always craft with cobblestone, but not with higher tier items.

Note: You cannot kill a specified mob early to unlock the tier early. You can only unlock the next tier, if you are on tier 0, only tier 1 mobs count, tier 1 only tier 2 mobs count, etc. etc.

Donations:

Ok, so I thought I would setup a donation button for those that would like to send me some money for the work I do. Keep in mind that I am a college student that currently has no form of income (besides the pennies I get from YouTube, which I don't get until the amount I've earned from that reached $100, which I don't see happening any time soon) and that I do this for free. Half the money sent to me will be donated to a charity of the donators choice. If none is provided, it will be my choice of charity.


adf.ly links to download the mod and previous versions will be added soon.

I really hope this mod takes off! Seems so useful for alot of people & mod packs!

You might wanna put in a statement in the description saying it is allowed for modpacks too, just to clarify that for people!

How about mining so many blocks until a new tier is unlocked. For example, mine 200 cobblestone unlocks the stone tools... mine 200 logs and 300 stone unlocks iron tools...

Killing animals are hard on my server since we have a lot of mobs on my server which loves to kill farm animals. Even though the config can be config to preference, its hard to find the proper animals when you need them.

Also, the unlock should be for all players on the server, not just per player.

Really great Idea. I hope you can expand on it in some way making the game more challenging.

I LOVE this mod. Its amazing for servers and adventure/RPG like modpacks! I wanted to review it, But ATM it looks like it is hard ish to review it. Because to see its true power you need to make a modpack with a extended config. So Maybe in the future if there is a pack out with this. I will review it!

I can see the advantage and benefit for a per player-based; however, please leave this as an option and not the default through a config. Also, harvesting blocks to upgrade tier is more rational as it forces players to use certain tools for a duration amount of time instead of quickly jumping tiers. Killing animals are easily skipped just as vanilla wooden tools to stone tools (of course this could be changed in the config, but seriously, killing off a herd of animals to get to a new tier is just not rational, and almost impossible if mobs from other mods are also after your herd). Harvesting a certain amount of blocks to upgrade seems more logical as most games have adopted this idea as well, such as strategy games- harvest enough resources before upgrading to the next tier. I don't know how u did it, but this mod is so fun and I am truly enjoying it. Would really love to see resources mined as the prerequisite instead of killing off entities though. If you're still thinking about it, why not just put up a poll and see what the users think? Unless of course you like the idea and just add it in as a config option. Can't wait to see what u add into the mod...

A suggestion to add would be that players must complete certain events to unlock higher tiers: (should be configurable)

EX) 50 logs unlocks stone age
100 logs, 100 cobblestone into stone unlocks iron age
200 logs, 200 stone, 64 iron ores and level 23 unlocks golden age
400 logs, 400 stone, 128 iron ores, 30 golden ores unlocks diamond age
10 diamonds, 200 redstones, 100 lapiz, 1200 coal (not charcoal)
unlocks obsedian (portals unlocked)

since your mod is based on tiers, you can maybe even add in high-tier tools n weapons to aim for, such as obsedian tools, armors, and weapons (which would require resources from the nether to unlock it's stage).

However, if you do decide to use resources as a prerequisite for upgrading tiers, you might have to create a new block or an option to place in the world. When the block/option is right clicked/activated, a GUI will pop up allowing you to insert the said resources and consume the inserted content; when the requirements have been met, only then will the next tier be unlocked.
