Minecraft mod ideas

MQTT

Core Idea

I want to communicate via MQTT, whether it is between worlds or with other programs doesn’t matter. Probably both tho.

MQTT-Content

Server Settings

• Broker & Connection: The broker is set inside the server settings and only refreshes on reloading the world/server. This also has options for authenticated MQTT. If the settings are invalid, it’ll load the server with default settings and display a message in chat.
• Chunkloader: Whether or not the chunks with a MQTT components will be loaded when a message is received. This is changeable per block.

MQTT-Items

• Postal Note: This note is used to send messages to topics. Without this note you cannot send messages. If you try to put a # on this, it’ll be ignored.
• Void Address: This note can only be used for receiving messages. It reacts topics like the normal # wildcard in MQTT. This includes these/indented/# wildcards.
• Reality Shard: This item is only acquirable when someone sends you a modded item of a mod that you have not installed. The tooltip of the Reality shard is set to the name of the item that was sent.
• Subtitle: Holds a value of a recently sent chat message. It holds the metadata from a previously sent chat message, for this includes the player UUID, player name, world name, and message.

MQTT-Blocks

• Logger: A block that takes Redstone input and sends it to your Postal note address. This block is purely for logging Redstone levels. This note is not consumed because this output can not be used in Minecraft itself, this can be listened to via your personal code.
• Transmitter: A block that sends a Redstone signal like an observer does and sends it to your Postal note address. It consumes 1 Postal note per message. It has 1 Postal note slot.
• Receiver: A block that listens to a Redstone signal from your Postal note address. It has 1 Postal note item slot.
• Signer: Signs your Postal note so that is valid to be used. It takes the address from the name of an inserted name tag and sets it as the Postal Notes address. This also sets the “Sender” value on the note so that the MQTT logic can work. This block has 1 Name tag slot, 1 any input slot and 1 output slot as inventory.
• Package Depot: This block takes 1 package and 1 Postal Note. It then sends the package over MQTT. It does wait for an response back from another client to make sure someone is listening. This block Requires Redstone. A package can either be a Shulker box, or a Bundle or a Subtitle. It has 1 Package Input slot and 1 Postal note input slot.
• PO Box: This block listens for a package sent over MQTT on the address on the Postal Note. It keeps track of the package ID to make sure it doesn’t receive the same package multiple times. It also sends a confirmation back on the same topic. It has 5 output slots and 1 Postal note slot. When powered with Redstone it will destroy the Postal note once it receives a package.
• Voice Recorder: When powered with Redstone will transform 1 piece of Paper into a Subtitle. This subtitle will hold the metadata of the message. This block has 1 input slot and 1 output slot.
• Speaker: This block will consume a Subtitle and will then put it in chat as a chat message, where you will clearly be able to see from who, what world, and what the message is.
