Scattered Shards

Collectible cards for adventure maps!
Maintained for use at ModFest events.
Requires Connector and FFAPI on (neo)forge.

Scattered Shards adds a system of collectible "shards" that can be created via a UI and placed in-world.

Type /shards or use a Shard Tablet any time to view which shards you've collected, and which ones are left!

Features:

Shards can have titles, descriptions, and face art in the form of item stacks or arbitrary textures
- Shards can also have a "hint", which is shown in standard galactic until moused over
Shards have a "type" e.g. clubs, foil, rare, secret, difficult (data-driven)
- Shard types can have custom names, textures, and collection sounds (resource-driven)
Shards are arranged into "sets" which can have one shard of each type
- Suggested as installed mod IDs by default, but can be completely arbitrary (locations, skillsets, etc)
Tracks global collection statistics, displayed to players when holding shift in the shards screen

Run /shardc creator new [set] [type] to open the shard creator - set can be an arbitary ID
- In the shard creator, you can fill in the title, description, hint, and icon for the shard
- If you used an installed mod ID for the set, you can enable "use mod icon" to use the mod icon
To allow regular players to collect the shard, either:
- Run /shard block [shard] and place the provided block - this collects the shard when walking over
- Place a command block with e.g. /shard award @n [shard] - this collects the shard for the nearest player

This mod was originally created by Falkreon and acikek as a base mod for BlanketCon '23.
