Obtaining & Variants The Hookshot can only be obtained via Crafting. Additionally, it has several different variants - each being more difficult to create, but offering increased range and durability. It takes 4 Wooden Planks, 2 Sticks, 2 Chain, and 1 Copper Ingot to create. Hookshot The Hookshot is the base model Hookshot. It's cheap, easy to make, but it won't get you very far - literally. It has 50 durability, and a maximum range of 16 blocks.

Climb Upgrade The Climb Upgrade allows you to automatically climb to the top of the block you hookshot onto - as long as you've hooked onto the side, and there's enough space for you to stand on top of it. It requires the following ingredients: 8 Chain 16 Ender Pearls 2 Diamonds 32 Feathers Item Hook Upgrade The Item Hook Upgrade allows you to hook onto items and bring them towards you. Be careful, though - using this ability takes some precision. It requires the following ingredients: 8 Chain 1 Hopper 2 Ender Pearls 8 Slime Balls Mob Hook Upgrade The Mob Hook Upgrade allows you to hook any mob and bring them towards you. It requires the following ingredients: 1 Iron Sword 4 Chain 8 Slime Ball 16 Raw Beef Known Issues There is a known cosmetic issue with the Hookshot, where the chains launched from it are not visible. A future update will utilize particles to visualize the chain.

Background All custom blocks which rely on the Note Block Technique are, as the name implies, technically Note Blocks. The server resource pack applies custom textures to them based on their instrument and note, and the CUCraftingPlus plugin handles functionality for these blocks. Within the resource pack, the default note (0) for all instruments is left as the default Note Block texture. All other notes are reserved for custom block use. The first note is left as default to ensure that when a Note Block is placed, it always has the proper texture and doesn't briefly show a different texture. In order to ensure that any reserved Note Block variants are not placed within the world on accident (as this would result in them becoming different blocks at some point in the future), all Note Block variants that are not assigned to a custom block are given a fallback texture. Rather than using Minecraft's default fallback texture, they use a Black and Green checkerboard pattern - which indicates that the block in question is just an unused custom block. These unused blocks cannot be obtained by any means, and can only be set using commands. In normal gameplay, they should never appear within the world - otherwise, this could indicate an issue with the CUCraftingPlus plugin. The only scenarios which are considered "acceptable" for this texture to be seen are as follows: A player is using an earlier version of the server resource pack, which does not have updated block models or textures A staff member has explicitly placed invalid blocks on purpose, though this should never be done outside of private bases The texture briefly "flickers" momentarily if a block below one or more custom blocks is broken - this is an unavoidable issue and is due to certain block update events happening clientside. If the textures/models do not immediately revert to their correct appearance, however, this likely indicates an error within the CUCraftingPlus plugin and should be treated as a bug. In the case that one of these blocks are encountered due to a block being unimplemented within CUCraftingPlus, they will behave mostly like a normal Note Block, minus the ability to play or adjust the note. When broken, they will drop a normal Note Block. History Main MC Server MC 1.18 Added reserved block texture

Obtaining & Background Currently, a Ground Rock can only be obtained by using commands. It was originally planned to be used as part of the world generation process and would have generated within most biomes, with the goal of adding additional environmental detail. It would also have the practical use of dropping 1 stone when broken, functionality which the block still retains currently. It can sometimes be seen as a decorative object in certain areas in Survival, and is intended to become available as a decorative piece at some point in the future. History Main MC Server MC 1.16.1 Added Ground Rock Changed model to 3D model now uses default Stone texture Old, incomplete model remains within the resource pack as ground_rock_old MC 1.18.1 Ground Rock is now handled via CUCraftingPlus Changed vanilla material from Stone to Paper

Obtaining & Background Currently, a Ground Branch can only be obtained by using commands. It was originally planned to be used as part of the world generation process and would have generated within most forests, with the goal of adding additional environmental detail. It would also have the practical use of dropping 2 sticks when broken, functionality which the block still retains currently. It can sometimes be seen as a decorative object in certain areas in Survival, and is intended to become available as a decorative piece at some point in the future.

The wood of the branch actually uses the Oak Log texture in vanilla Minecraft - the only custom texture for the branch is the leaves.

Obtaining The Upgrade Station can only be obtained via crafting. It takes 2 Wooden Planks, 1 Enchantment Table, 4 Sticks, and 2 Amethyst Shards. any_planks;enchantment_table;any_planks stick;amethyst_shard;stick stick;amethyst_shard;stick upgrade_station false false false Usage When interacted with, the player is presented with a screen with several different slots, along with several other elements. The two standalone slots with the Hammer and Shard icon are intended for the desired tool to upgrade, and an Amethyst Shard respectively. When a tool is inserted, the large gray region to the right will be populated with all available upgrades. Hovering over each upgrade will list its requirements and describe its features. The 3x3 grid on the bottom left is where any ingredients required for the desired upgrade should be placed. The icon directly above the purple Upgrade button will indicate the status of the upgrade, and will inform the player if an upgrade cannot be completed - such as if the player is missing required items, if no upgrade is selected, or if the upgrade is already applied. If an upgrade cannot be applied, it will display with an X. If no item is installed in the tool slot, it will display with blue ellipses. If all upgrade requirements are met, the icon will display with a green checkmark. When the Upgrade button is clicked after all requirements are met, the provided ingredients and Amethyst Shard are consumed, and upgrade is applied to the item. Upgrades can only be applied to an item once, and there is currently no support for leveling up upgrades. History Main MC Server MC 1.18.2 Added the Upgrade Station

Classic GUI Technique The traditional technique for creating custom GUIs that can be found almost univerally across many plugins, both public and private, is to blank out unused slots with Black Stained Glass Panes or to simply leave them blank. Various items are used for buttons and interactive elements. This technique remains the only technique used in most of the gamemodes within Chaotic United outside of Survival. Slot Mask Technique An early attempt to raise the bar for custom GUIs was to leverage a series of 'Slot Mask' items. Most commonly used was the GUI Slot Mask item, which is used to block out an entire inventory slot. Several additional items were also created to act as buttons and other GUI elements, which are listed below. While this technique has largely been succeeded by the GUI Overlay Technique, it is still used on rare occasion for specific use cases. Generic Buttons Back Next Cancel Confirm Refresh Generic Icons Arrow Left Subtract Add Pointer CUMarketplace Add Buttons CUMarketplace Subtract Buttons CUMarketplace Miscellaneous Buttons Browse Listings Browse Listings (Alternate) Add New Listing My Listings Price Hover Button (Unused) Set Custom Listing Price CUMarketplace Preset Price Buttons Generic Icons (Unused) Arrow Left (18px) Pointer (Alternate) GUI Overlay Technique The most advanced GUI technique is the GUI Overlay Technique. This is used exclusively in Survival, as it relies on the use of the server resource pack in order for GUIs to display properly. This approach relies on overriding the textures of specific text characters in the in-game font with various "alignment helpers", as well as the actual textures of GUIs themselves. These characters are strategically placed within the title of a container, and can result in GUIs of a significantly higher quality than would usually be expected from a container-based GUI, despite being technically identical under the hood. Some examples of this technique can be found with the Upgrade Station GUI along with Crafting and Furnace recipe previews in the Recipe Guide (accessible by using /recipes ingame).
