Screw it: I'm recovering from surgery, low on inspiration, and need something to do. Give me ANY idea for a cool cosmetic armor piece or item and I'll model it and put it in my mod.

I'm going to be combining a couple of my mods into one mod for cosmetic armor and decorative items. Think of it like a decor mod but for characters, I guess. I want ideas, and I always loved those posts about "give me anything and I'll draw it", so that's what I'm going to do, except it'll be a fully modeled and rendered armor piece that YOU can use. Only rules:

-no nsfw (obviously)

-has to be something that can fit neatly as one armor piece/item. I'll do a full set if I REALLY REALLY like your idea though.

-I can't do any kind of fancy effects, I'm bad at coding lol. So temper your expectations.

-LMK if you want credit for your ideas, and what you'd like me to put in the credits. Otherwise I'll just put it in.

I'm making this post a little bit before going to bed, so any ideas you drop I'll be working on tomorrow(and likely over the next couple days, knowing my pace of work). But I'll show you a screenshot when I'm done with the model.

This is probably going to get either no attention or I'm about to be very, VERY busy.

EDIT:since the latter option seems likely, please only suggest one thing at a time, and make sure it's just one armor piece (slash item! I already have a cup of coffee lol). like a helmet, shirt, pants, etc. however, I will do my best to honor as many requests as possible.

EDIT TWO: please make sure your idea is COSMETIC ONLY and is NOT A FULL SET. i mean you can still suggest full sets but im probably just gonna do the part i find coolest, at least for now.

EDIT THREE: while i greatly appreciate any suggestions, i will just say that i generally prefer making up designs over recreating existing stuff. something like “cool flaming knight hat” works. though, i don’t mind recreations either, so long as you’re okay with a little artistic flair on my part.

EDIT FOUR: just because i got a LOT more suggestions than i’ve expected and it’s barely been two hours, im going to be tweaking the rules a little for my own sanity: IF YOU SUGGEST SOMETHING FROM A GAME/MOVIE, I AM GOING TO BE DOING MY OWN VERSION RATHER THAN A ONE TO ONE RECREATION. this is also partially because a bunch of mods exist for costumes already, and i want to do something unique and fun! but i will try to capture the spirit as best i can. anyways im going to bed now, but feel free to keep em coming!

Recovering from a minor procedure so have this clip from my playthrough I spent an unnecessarily long time on

( i bumped into red eye barry while farming wither skulls)

Is it better to split up my mods based on aesthetic or gameplay?

Basically, I have two separate mods going right now, one that's cyberpunk/near future themed and one that's dark fantasy. Both are pretty similar, with a couple of mainly cosmetic armor sets and cool, fairly powerful weapons. The issue is, I feel like it's a bad idea to have stronger-than-vanilla weapons and vanilla+ armor sets in the same mod. Kinda mixing my meats, y'know? But since I don't want to have a dozen and one different mods, all with like two downloads. So I was wondering if it might be a good idea to split it into a "cosmetics" mod and a "weapons/utilities" mod. But then does that drive away people who don't want paladins running around their cyberpunk world? I'm not really sure.

Anyways, this is also partially a "check out this cool thing I made" post. It took me several straight months to figure out how to add a 3D armor set. please praise me.

Trying to set up a pseudo-random variable using scoreboards but have no idea how to do so. Any kind of help would be amazing.

I'm trying to figure out a datapack-based scoreboard system for my modpack I'm making for 1.20.1. Basically, I have a lot of npc/cosmetic type mods that can key off a scoreboard input. However, there's no real way to give them a random spawn time, at least in the bounds of the mod.

So, this is where I remembered a system in Mario Maker, where there's a set variable that ticks upwards every time the player jumps or kills an enemy instead of actual "rng". This lets the game be semi-random, without needing actual rng. This is combined with a system from yume 2kki, where there's a universal "variable 44" that can go up or down every load, but can be exploited by smart players to figure out what the rng of different events is.

In effect, what I'm trying to create is a scoreboard that ranges from 1 to, say, 128, that can tick upwards every time the player, say, places a block or jumps. Then, when it hits 128, it goes back down to 1. This keeps npc spawns feeling random, while still giving skilled players a way to cheat the system.

....unfortunately, I'm finding the scoreboard system about as dense as a brick wall (I've been doing a lot of coding recently so my brain is fried lol). Literally any sort of help would be appreciated, even if it's just something like a half-decent tutorial.

Also, I'm working on 1.20.1, I don't think scoreboards have changed very much but I'm not as familiar with recent versions.

trying to learn modding for 1.20.1 forge has unironically caused irreparable damage to my mental state. i drew this so i wouldn't have to go back there.

Okay serious, who the fuck makes a modding api AND DOESN'T GODDAMN DOCUMENT IT? kaupenjoe's tutorials are outdated, everything I've learned about java has only confused me more, and I can't even look at other mods for help because they're all ridiculously complicated or mcreator slop, OR JUST DON'T HAVE A GITHUB, THANKS GUYS. jesus fucking CHRIST this hobby drives me nuts sometimes. and by sometimes I do in fact mean all the times. god forbid a girl try to make a mod for the ancient primordial soup that is 1.20.1 instead of porting over my entire goddamn modpack just so little timmy can use trial chambers. Maybe I just need to get better at java in general?? but I only want to add fairly basic mobs and the like, not some crazy full overhaul mod, and that should NOT be this complicated. and that doesn't change the fact that FORGE, THE ONLY GODDAMN MODDING API, ISN'T FUCKING DOCUMENTED FOR ZERO DISTINGUISHABLE REASON???? yeah I get this is free and all but don't you have the slightest dreg of pride in your work or sense of community with you fellow modders. I'm actually three steps and a sneeze from turning to the dark arts (mcr*ator) just because of what an awful fucking process this is. I just wanna add a skinless corpse that jumpscares you sometimes, this is NOT that big a request.

rant over i love drinking corn syrup yaaay i love guessing how the fuck programming works yaaaaayyyyyy
