Leveling System

Overview

The forge leveling system rewards players for using the forge. As players spend more time forging, they unlock additional slots and time reduction bonuses.

Level Progression

Level	Forge Slots	Time Reduction	Required Forging Time
1	1 slot	0%	Starting level
2	2 slots	10%	20 minutes total
3	3 slots	20%	40 minutes total
4	4 slots	30%	60 minutes total
5	5 slots	40%	120 minutes total

How Leveling Works

• Forging time is accumulated as recipes complete
• The total time of each completed recipe adds to your progress
• Upgrades happen automatically when requirements are met
• Progress is shown on the upgrade button in the GUI
• Time reduction applies to all future recipes

Time Reduction Bonus

The time reduction bonus stacks with each level:

• Level 1: Recipes take 100% of base time
• Level 2: Recipes take 90% of base time
• Level 3: Recipes take 80% of base time
• Level 4: Recipes take 70% of base time
• Level 5: Recipes take 60% of base time

Recipe System

Recipe Components

Each recipe consists of:

• Result Item - The item produced when forging completes
• Ingredients - Required materials consumed when starting
• Forge Time - Base time required (affected by level bonus)
• Fuel Cost - Lava fuel consumed in millibuckets (mb)

Recipe Categories

Recipes are organized into categories for easy browsing:

• Default categories: Parts, Ores, Armor
• Custom categories can be added via commands or config
• Each category has a display name and icon

Adding Recipes In-Game

Using held item:
/forge recipe add ores hand 500 1h RAW_GOLD:2,COAL:4

Using material name:
/forge recipe add parts IRON_PICKAXE 800 2h IRON_INGOT:3,STICK:2

Using ItemsAdder item:

Material Format

Vanilla Items:

• Format: MATERIAL_NAME:AMOUNT
• Example: IRON_INGOT:3

ItemsAdder Items:

• Format: ia:namespace:item_id:amount
• Example: ia:myitems:custom_ore:2

Multiple Materials:

• Separate with commas
• Example: IRON_INGOT:3,DIAMOND:2,STICK:1

Time Format

Recipes support multiple time formats:

• Seconds: 3600 (1 hour)
• Hours: 1h or 2h
• Minutes: 30m or 45m
• Combined: 1h30m or 2h15m30s

Fuel System

Overview

The forge requires lava fuel to operate. Each recipe consumes a specific amount of fuel measured in millibuckets (mb).

Adding Fuel

• Hold a lava bucket and click the fuel slot
• Or drag a lava bucket onto the fuel slot
• Each lava bucket adds 1000mb of fuel
• Empty bucket is returned after adding fuel

Fuel Consumption

• Fuel is consumed when starting a recipe
• Different recipes require different fuel amounts
• If insufficient fuel, the recipe cannot be started
• Fuel amount is displayed in the GUI

Fuel Costs

Fuel costs are configurable per recipe. Default examples:

• Simple smelting: 100-200 mb
• Standard forging: 300-600 mb
• Advanced forging: 800-1000+ mb

Frequently Asked Questions
Does forging continue when I'm offline?
Yes! Forging continues in real-time even when you're offline. Your items will be ready to claim when you return.

What happens if my inventory is full when claiming?
You'll receive a message that your inventory is full. The item remains in the forge slot until you have space to claim it.

Can I cancel a recipe in progress?
No, once a recipe starts, it cannot be cancelled. Ingredients and fuel have already been consumed.

Do I lose progress if the server restarts?
No, all progress is saved automatically and persists through server restarts.

How do I add custom items from ItemsAdder?
Use the ia:namespace:item_id format in commands or itemsadder_id in config files.

Can I have more than 5 forge slots?
The default maximum is 5 slots, but this can be modified in the configuration.

Does the time reduction apply to recipes already in progress?
No, time reduction only applies to newly started recipes after leveling up.

How do I remove the default recipes?
Use /forge recipe remove or delete them from the config file.

Can I create recipes with no ingredients?
Yes, set ingredient amounts to 0 or omit the ingredients section (still requires fuel).

What happens to active recipes if I remove them from config?
Active recipes will complete normally, but the recipe won't be available for new forging.
