Devlog #4 – The Unknown Seller Awakens

This one was surprisingly smooth, not gonna lie

In this short devlog, I focused on adding something that makes the whole system feel way more alive — an NPC.
I implemented the Unknown Seller, a mysterious merchant that players can interact with directly.

Here’s what I got done:

• Created an NPC acting as the Unknown Seller.
• Interacting with the NPC opens the shop GUI instantly, no command required.
• This makes the shop command way less accessible — maybe dark, mysterious, or even elite… okay okay, just kidding 😄
• The system now feels much more immersive and natural compared to using commands.

At this point, the core functionality is basically complete.
What’s left is one final devlog focused on polish, fixes, and visuals — even though, technically, full functionality has already been achieved.

Almost there 👀

Devlog #3 – Lock-in & Early Shop Implementation

IDK why it took so fast. i made this a lot of times but this is actually the record lol

In this devlog, I did what’s called a lock-in and got straight to work. I love Java and Minecraft, so things went quickly. I implemented the core logic of the plugin. Of course, I haven’t added the essential things yet, like visuals, NPCs, or other bells and whistles, but I managed to:

• Create a shop where players can buy Teleportation Totems for 3 diamonds.
• Test the system using my Minecraft alt account.

Below are some videos demonstrating the progress:

• One video shows player X.
• Another shows player Y.
• Also included is a sneak peek of the shop GUI, which of course will be improved in the final version — just like that zesty text haha!

Devlog #1 – Project Setup & Early Experiments (yes i forgot to click “add Devlog” earlier)

Started by setting up the project in IntelliJ. Hit a roadblock: the Minecraft plugin I’m using doesn’t fully support newer versions, so I downgraded from 1.12 to 1.8. That required some manual configuration and test runs, but now the project loads correctly and is ready for development.

Devlog #2 – Teleport Requests System

Started adding gameplay features. Implemented a basic teleport request system:

• Players can send teleport requests to others.
• Requests can be accepted or denied.
• Added tpaccept command to accept requests.

The system can handle multiple simultaneous requests. Teleportation requires special items called Teleportation Totems, represented as food items with teleport properties.

Next Steps

• Add a user-friendly GUI.
• Add crafting for Teleportation Totems.
• Introduce NPC traders so players can exchange rare resources for totems (lasagna, pork chops, pizza, etc.).

Goal: make teleportation part of gameplay, not just a command from Forge.
