Ritual Structure

The ritual structure is defined as a type of recipe here. The structure defined supports rotation and reflections.

Croparia IF only identifies recipes with following id:

• croparia:ritual_stand: T1 ritual
• croparia:ritual_stand_2: T2 ritual
• croparia:ritual_stand_3: T3 ritual

Taking croparia:ritual_stand as example:

{
  "type": "croparia:ritual_structure",
  "keys": {
    "A": {
      "block": "minecraft:andesite"
    },
    "D": {
      "block": "minecraft:diorite"
    },
    "I": {
      "block": "croparia:block_crop_iron",
      "properties": {
        "age": "7"
      }
    },
    "G": {
      "block": "croparia:block_crop_gold",
      "properties": {
        "age": "7"
      }
    },
    "E": {
      "block": "croparia:elemental_stone"
    }
  },
  "pattern": [
    [
      "         ",
      "         ",
      "         ",
      "    $    ",
      "   $E$   ",
      "    $    ",
      "         ",
      "         ",
      "         "
    ],
    [
      "   D.D   ",
      " A..G..A ",
      " ....... ",
      "D..I.I..D",
      ".G..*..G.",
      "D..I.I..D",
      " ....... ",
      " A..G..A ",
      "   D.D   "
    ],
    [
      "   ...   ",
      " A.....A ",
      " ....... ",
      ".........",
      ".........",
      ".........",
      " ....... ",
      " A.....A ",
      "   ...   "
    ]
  ]

Fields:

• type: recipe type, it must be croparia:ritual_structure to make it work
• keys: pattern key mapping, used to identifies the character key with its block state predicate

• {character key}: a alphabetic uppercased character key, should not be following: [SPACE], ., $ and *

• [Optional] block: block specification, could be block id or block tag. A hashtag is required if it is a tag
• [Optional] properties: the block state properties. Note that the key & value should always be string

• pattern: describe the structure using the key mapping

• (outer array): each element of the outer array stand for a layer of blocks. The fronter one means the lower height

• (inner array): each element (string) of the inner array stand for a row of blocks. The direction does not matter.

• (element string): a row of block mapping keys.

Some special characters are used for particular functions:

• [SPACE]: match any block
• .: match only air block
• $: mark the position as input block for ritual recipes
• *: mark the position as the ritual stand block
