[DM suggestion] Anti-Gravity items [Suits, Blocks, Vehicle changes]

 

I was thinking of having some anti-gravity items in the mod, to make a unique interior I wanted to be added. Eventually my mind went wild with other ideas.

Table of Contents:

  1. Anti Gravity blocks
  2. Anti Gravity boots (staff only function)
  3. Power cell recharge station
  4. Anti Gravity Universal Clamps
  5. Motorcycle

Anti-Gravity Blocks

Name of Block/item/ore: Anti Gravity blocks

Description: Allows a user to walk on the block in a non-conventional direction, such as sideways or upside down.

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): Inspiration from the Anti-Gravity Clamps seen in Doomsday , my mind

How do you suggest we implement it: As a block that can be placed down. Once placed, the player can change direction and be magnetised onto the block, no matter which way they are facing.

For decoration purposes,

  • The block can have an "eyedropper" tool when right clicked in the hand, to select any block in the Vanilla Creative inventory
    • With exceptions like Anvils, cauldrons and brewing stands etc. (Oo anti-gravity anvils, I'll save that for another suggestions)

How does the player obtain it: Via the creative inventory as a decoration block

Why should this be implemented: To allow users to create very interesting contraptions and builds, including the custom interior I plan to build as shown below:

The blocks can be used to make creations such as the below: (Ignore the bad building skills, I made it in 5 minutes)

~Tardis interior with a sloping path to the roof

 

 Sloping path to the "roof"

The blocks can create paths on walls,such as in this image (user is looking directly up in this image)

 

Any other information:

Balancing:

  • As this block can be used to grief unaccessible areas, only Staff/Real SWDBae ranks may obtain it.

 

Anti-Gravity Suit

If we can have anti-gravity blocks, why stop there?

Name of Block/item/ore: Anti Gravity suit

Description: Allows a user to walk on any surface with a full suit, in any direction including upside down.

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): Inspiration from the Anti-Gravity Clamps seen in Doomsday , my mind

How do you suggest we implement it: As a set of clothing like Spacesuits

  • Helmet
  • Chest unit
  • Leggings
  • Boots

As the anti-gravity properties need a source of power:

  • The new rechargeable Power cells can be installed in the Chest unit by combining a power cell in with the Chest unit with a crafting table. They can also be uninstalled via the same method
    • Up to eight power cells can be installed in one chest unit at one time

Crafting recipe:

Power cell

Regardless of the Anti-gravity properties, the suit can also function as a conventional space suit with or without the anti-gravity powers.

  • It contains the "air" level GUI like all spacesuits and is able to be used with oxygen tanks, oxygen refill stations etc.

Balancing:

  • As this suit can be used as a form of escape from greifs etc., the user wearing the suit will have a reduced speed, only able to walk at a pace slightly higher than sneaking.
    • Sprinting will increase the pace to normal walking speed
  • The anti-gravity properties can only be activated if a full suit is worn, so the properties can be dispersed throughout the player's entire body, for logic's sake
  • When the power runs out, the player will either:
    • float down to the ground and will not take any fall damage.
    • Fall down fast and die from the height
      • A custom death message can be made: [Player] has fallen to their death from a non-functional Anti Grav. device.

How does the player obtain it: Via the creative inventory as special suits of armour. On the server they may be purchased in the shop for 30 credits for each part.

Why should this be implemented: To allow users to create very interesting contraptions and builds, including the custom interior I plan to build as shown below:

Anti-Gravity Boots (Staff only)

 

Name of Block/item/ore: Anti Gravity boots

Description: The boots of the Anti Gravity suit have a special feature when worn by certain users. (Server staff)

Only the boots are required to have anti-gravity properties for staff and need no Chest unit no rechargeable power cell to power it.

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): Inspiration from the Anti-Gravity Clamps seen in Doomsday , my mind

How do you suggest we implement it: As a set of clothing like Spacesuits.

NOTE: This is not a separate item, it's the normal anti-grav. Boots with a special feature when worn by certain users.

Balancing:

  • As this suit can be obtained via accidental dropping/ careless storing,
    • Any user other than staff cannot use it, they will be only decorative boots
  • A custom whitelist can be implemented to allow certain users (staff) to use it.

How does the player obtain it: Via the creative inventory

Why should this be implemented: To allow staff members to easily climb walls without wearing the full suit,

Power cell Recharge station

Name of Block/item/ore: Power cell recharge station

Description: Like the oxygen refill station, it allows multiple power cells to charged during the day.

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): N/A

How do you suggest we implement it: As a block that can be placed down and broken in survival.

  • It contains a GUI like the Refill station with 8 slots (tying into the Anti-Gravity suit suggestion)
  • It flashes when all 8 cells have been recharged

How does the player obtain it: Via a crafting recipe, like the power cell, oxygen tank and oxygen refill station.

Recipe is to be added.

Why should this be implemented: To allow users to refill power cells quickly and efficiently.

Anti Gravity Clamps

Name of Block/item/ore: Anti Gravity Clamps

Description: As an item that can be added to any DM vehicle to let them go up walls

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): Planet of the Dead, Series 4

How do you suggest we implement it:

  • 4 Anti Gravity Clamps are required to be added to each wheel of a DM vehicle
  • An Anti-Gravity Control Wheel is required to be attached to the steering wheel/ interior to control the vehicle.
  • All devices are able to installed and uninstalled via Sneak+Right click on the respective parts of the vehicle.

All compatible vehicles will need to have slots to take these clamps:

  • Bessie
  • Delorean (if reimplemented as a vehicle)
  • Motorcycle (see suggestion below)

How does the player obtain it: Via a crafting recipe, like the power cell. Will probably be expensive so not all users can get anti-gravity Bessies etc.

Recipe is to be added.

  • A Staff-variant could be added, only requiring an Anti-Gravity Control Wheel to be attached to the vehicle of choice.

Why should this be implemented: To allow users to speed along walls/roofs without using an anti-Gravity suit. This also means any DM vehicle can be made anti-gravitional, including an Anti-Gravity Motorcycle

Motorcycle (Can be made Anti-Grav)

Name of Block/item/ore: Motorcycle

Description: A small, speedy vehicle to travel across worlds

Lore/Brief Background (Or "As seen in" if not from Doctor Who canon): N/A

How do you suggest we implement it: As a vehicle like other DM vehicles, but is able to take anti-gravity clamps

How does the player obtain it: Via the creative menu, unless a crafting recipe is added

Why should this be implemented: To allow users to speed along a world quickly

With Anti-grav clamps installed:

  • A user may use it to speed along Planets without gravity affecting their jumps or speed.

Support.

 

As for the Antigrav Motorcycle, well BellatorHD has a thread on it as well.

 

Maybe you two could put something together on the idea?

Just an idea though
