Wheel of Wacky
A mod that adds a carnival prize wheel that - when spun - has the chance to either fabulously reward or horrifically punish the player that spun the wheel in a hilarious fashion!
Obtaining a Wheel of Wacky
In order to get a Wheel of Wacky for yourself, you'll have to find a "basement" structure in your world. Inside Wheel Boy's dungeon prison the basement you'll find a Wheel of Wacky that you can break and collect using a diamond or better pickaxe.
Creating spells
To start creating your own custom spells, you'll first have to create a data pack folder. If you don't know how to make a data pack, here is a link to a tutorial to help you get started: Creating a data pack.
If you haven't already, you'll want to create a data folder in your data pack folder. Then you'll want to a create a folder named wacky_wheel within your data folder. After which you will have to create a folder called spell_type in the wacky_wheel folder.
Your file path should look like this: <your data pack folder>/data/wacky_wheel/spell_type.
Now you'll want to create a JSON file in <your data pack folder>/data/wacky_wheel/spell_type. For the purpose of this example, we'll call it free_diamond.json.
The first thing we'll want to do is give a spell a name that will be displayed to the player when they roll that spell on the wheel.
{
"name": "Free Diamond!",
}
We can also optionally set a specific color for the name text and add some flavor text to be displayed underneath it:
{
"name": "Free Diamond!",
"titleColor": "#ADD8E6",
"flavorText": "Enjoy your free diamond :)",
}
Next, we have to provide our spell with an item id that corresponds to an in-game item. This item will be used to represent the spell on wheel slices.
{
"name": "Free Diamond!",
"titleColor": "#ADD8E6",
"flavorText": "Enjoy your free diamond :)",
"itemID": "minecraft:diamond",
}
The next field we have to define is castingTime, which represents the amount of time (in ticks) that it will take to cast the spell after the wheel lands on it:
{
"name": "Free Diamond!",
"titleColor": "#ADD8E6",
"flavorText": "Enjoy your free diamond :)",
"itemID": "minecraft:diamond",
"castingTime": 60,
}
The last step is the provide the name of .mcfunction file that will be used to provide the actual spell effect.
{
"name": "Free Diamond!",
"titleColor": "#ADD8E6",
"flavorText": "Enjoy your free diamond :)",
"itemID": "minecraft:diamond",
"castingTime": 60,
"onCastFunction": "give_diamond"
}
Of course, we'll actually have a create a .mcfunction file named give_diamond.mcfunction in <your data pack folder>/data/wacky_wheel/functions.
give @s diamond
Keep in mind that the onCastFunction by default will target the player who initially spun the wheel.
To test our new command, enter the /wheel free_diamond command into chat and receive your free diamond.
