Lost Caves Relics

Lost Caves Relics
Mod	YUNG's Cave Biomes
Items	3
Stackable	Yes (64)

The Lost Caves Relics are three items added by YUNG's Cave Biomes: the Hourglass Pottery Sherd, the Clock Pottery Sherd and the Ancient Armor Trim smithing template. The two sherds are decorated pot sherds, and the template applies the ancient armor trim pattern. All three come from one archaeology loot table that is used only by the Sand Snapper, a burrowing monster found in Lost Caves. The relics are therefore a reward for finding and interacting with Sand Snappers rather than items that generate in the world.

The same mod also adds the Frost and Buffeted status effects. They are covered in the Usage section because Buffeted is applied during Lost Caves sandstorms and Frost is part of the ice mechanics of the cave biomes.

Obtaining

The relics are not placed as loose items and do not appear in chests, villager trades or block drops. The only source is the Sand Snapper's archaeology loot table. A Sand Snapper either gifts loot to a nearby player or buries it in the ground, and each of these actions makes one roll on the table. The table has six entries of equal weight, so each entry has a 1 in 6 chance (about 16.7%) per roll:

• Hourglass Pottery Sherd
• Clock Pottery Sherd
• Ancient Armor Trim smithing template
• Brick
• Emerald
• Stick

Three of the six entries are relics, so half of all rolls produce a relic. Sand Snappers spawn in Lost Caves with a monster weight of 50, in groups of one or two. A Sand Snapper eats a Prickly Peach Cactus to become friendly for 3600 ticks (three minutes). Its gift and burial actions then use a 120-tick cooldown between attempts.

Smithing Template · Crafting

The ancient armor trim smithing template can also be crafted. The recipe uses seven diamonds, one existing template and one Ancient Sandstone block, and it returns two templates. Crafting therefore multiplies a template that has already been found, but it cannot create the first one. The two pottery sherds have no crafting recipe.

Usage

Decorated pots

The Hourglass and Clock sherds are decorated pot sherds. Like vanilla sherds, one sherd placed on each side of a decorated pot sets the pot's pattern. The sherds are added to the vanilla decorated_pot_sherds tag, and the mod supplies a separate decorated pot material for the two new patterns.

Armor trim

The Ancient Armor Trim template is used at a smithing table with a piece of armour and a trim material to apply the ancient trim pattern. The template is also in the vanilla trim_templates tag. See Smithing and Gear Upgrades and Armor Trims for how trims are applied.

Sandstorms and Buffeted

Lost Caves has its own sandstorm cycle. Each server level keeps a timer that waits between 20 and 40 minutes (default) before a storm begins. A storm lasts between 2 and 10 minutes by default. The timer is saved with the world. Storms run in every server level, but the effect is applied only to players inside Lost Caves during a storm.

A player inside Lost Caves during a storm receives Buffeted. The effect is reapplied every 10 ticks, so it lasts about five seconds after the player leaves the storm or the storm ends. Buffeted reduces movement speed by 50% and narrows the field of view on the client. It deals no damage. When a storm ends, each player inside Lost Caves earns the "Sandblasted Corridors" advancement.

Frost

Frost is an instant harmful effect that adds freeze time to the target. The freeze time has a minimum of 200 × (amplifier + 1) ticks, rises by 100 × (amplifier + 1) for each tick the effect is active, and is capped at 600 × (amplifier + 1). Spectators and players on peaceful difficulty are not affected. The Frost effect is not produced by the relics. It comes from brewing and from Frost splash potions and tipped arrows. When one of these hits a block or entity, it places Creeping Ice in a sphere with a radius of 3 for Frost and 4 for Strong Frost.
