How to Make a Fuel

Fuels

Each fuel is a YAML file in fuels/. The file name (without .yml) is the fuel ID. An _example.yml isprovided in the folder to copy from.

Common Config

name: "&8Coal"
item: COAL
duration-ticks: 12000
speed-multiplier: 1.25

  • name - the fuel's display name.

  • item - the eco item lookup consumed as fuel (e.g. COAL, BLAZE_ROD).

  • duration-ticks - how many ticks one unit of this fuel keeps a minion active for. Defaults to 12000 ifomitted.

  • speed-multiplier - multiplies the minion's mining speed while this fuel is burning. Defaults to 1.25 ifomitted.

Fuel only burns while the minion is active - a minion that's idle (its owner offline, or its chunk unloaded)does not consume fuel. On catching up after an owner returns, fuel is consumed proportionally to the simulatedoffline span rather than the full wall-clock time the owner was away.
