Redstone NPC Pack v1.3 ~ Life & Death Update

[Yoshi021]

Hello everyone, I present an NPC pack that attempts to replicate a Minecraft "Redstone" system today!
This NPC pack includes a lot of NPCs, some from Minecraft and some made-up NPCs!




So what is this exactly about?
Besides the whole "look guys Minecraft in SMBX," this NPC pack is meant to enhance puzzle levels (or really any kind of level). This NPC pack focuses on allowing creators to have a base logic system in-game.
By logic system, I mean something like "I press a switch, and it causes a door to open." I thought about it for a while and got the idea of making a simplified Redstone system.

You have interactable such as buttons and levers. You wire things together using dust to power devices like pistons and doors.

I have put much effort into making this system as intuitive as possible. You have a lot of options to do what you need to do. You must check out some NPCs, such as the control chip and command block, that allow extremely high possibilities setups. OR you can use something simple as a button and red-door to make a straightforward door contraption. It is all up to you!

What is included?
A LOT. At first, it might seem a bit overwhelming, but once you give it a chance, you will see it all begins to make sense

• Redstone Dust
• Repeaters
• Alternators (Inverters)
• Capacitors
• Fuse
• Solid Block
• Redstone Block (Cracked, Timed, Camera, P-block)
• Redstone Torch
• Control Chip
• Button (Deteriorated)
• Lever
• Transmitters
• Receivers
• Dropper (Dispenser)
• Hopper
• Chest (Barrel, Ender)
• Observers
• Spy Block (NPC, Player, Block, BGO)
• Reaper Block
• Operator Block
• Lamp
• Piston (Piston, Sticky, Honey)
• Broadcaster
• Sick Block (Sick, Masked, Vaccinated, Angelic)
• Note Block (STILL STILL STILL DOES NOT PLAY NOTE DUE TO LUNALUA CONSTRAINTS)
• Sound Block
• TNT (TNT in a Minecart)
• Flamethrower
• Lectern
• Amped Jewel
• Beam Source (Death Ray)
• Reflectors
• Absorbers
• Red Door
• Respawn Anchor (Death Host)
• Command Block (Pulse, Repeating)

Are there any screenies I can take a look at?
Yes, here are a few gifs!

V1.3 Changelog: show

These are the documented changes, I may or may have not forgotten some changes.


Added new components!

• Fuse
• Lamp
• Respawn Anchor

Existing NPC Changes

• EVERY NPC IS NOW MODULAR! I can't stress how nice of a change is. Previously, the entire NPC pack was required to work. Now, you can delete and remove any unnecessary NPCs and the pack will continue to work.
• Another NPC pack mini-rewrite. I went ahead and did a mini rewrite to every single NPC. Each NPC should overall be more optimized, reliable, and have cleaner code. This may also mean new bugs introduced. If you see one, please report it.
• No more redstone_config.lua file. All previous settings were moved to their respective NPC files.
• Non redstone NPCs required the broadcaster to be powered. Now they can be activated as any other redstone NPC
• Torches now only power components adjacent to the flame.
• Added new operations interactions to the operator block. Fuse (modulus) and BGO spyblock (count).
• Fixed a bug with the capacitor interacting with the operator block.
• Broadcasters have been reworked entirely. Now they power all NPCs of an ID that are on-screen.
• Spyblocks now have a BGO variant.
• Reaper, spyblocks, and broadcasters have a new advanced filter option.
• Absorbers have a new look!
• Unified the environment (again ) of the control chip and command block uses. No more need on having to remember which environment has which features.

Amazing. I'm so glad I was able to help test this when was in its earlier developments, this pack is incredible with its interactions.

Finally released v1.1!!!!!

There is a new test level that explains much better how each component works! Huge thanks to 8luestorm for helping me get this level done!

Hope you'll make the skulk sensors from the caves and cliffs update. they're sound based, so it'll probably take a bit to code, but you can definitely recreate it's paired boss(?) Jumps and attacks do in fact make sounds in both games so it will be pretty easy.

Well, in Minecraft all sounds have a set position, while in SMBX basegame sounds do not have a concept of position. As far as I'm aware, there is no good way to detect if there is a sound effect playing at the moment. Once the skulk sensor is out and there is more known information, I would like to see if there is a way to adapt it into SMBX but as of now, it has a low probability.

I really like these and can see that they've come a long way since they first came out, well done, it will be interesting to make a level replacing layers and events with redstone components.

It does not have to replace layers and events, a lot of these components are made with the intention of complementing these features!

Maybe you could make it so that whatever item that triggers the sound has a radius (enemy stomps; bigger the enemy, the bigger the radius. Blocks could have a 6 block radius.) it could detect for the sound triggers (the things that trigger the sounds).

Idea -- boo blocks that detect which direction you're facing, perhaps another variant which determines their lateral or vertical distance from you

I like this idea

Can you do target blocks? They should work like they do in Minecraft; the more accurate you are, more redstone power.

How should they work? Like do I use player projectiles instead of arrows as the projectile to detect? I feel that being precise with those projectiles is just different than arrows in Minecraft, not sure if it will work.

They should be 1x3 blocks and rotatable to 3x1. That way, they'll be easier to code.
After all, it would be detecting hits from player projectiles (except hammers, as their only real use is as an offensive maneuver, while the boomerang and peach bomb have their own unique special features.)

Nice!! Looks nice!

Thank you, I hope I can release the next update in the incoming months!

Wow this pack is genuinely amazing. I havent used SMBX in years, but this is the kind of thing that leads to inspiration. Theres a lot of potential here and not just for puzzle levels.
