Summary


This datapack adds the item "Acacia Gumball" (a retextured Slimeball), which is obtained by stripping acacia logs.

Example of stripping an acacia tree and how the gumballs drop from it


The Vegancraft Resourcepack (download above) is required to see this texture in-game.

Features

  • When stripping an acacia log (or wood), there is a 1/4 chance that an "acacia gumball" drops from it.
  • Your axe's Fortune enchantment level gives you an extra chance of obtaining a second gumball drop, topping at a total average of 1 gumball per log with Fortune III.
  • Acacia gumball behaves just as a regular slimeball but has a different texture and name. Use it to craft slime blocks, sticky pistons, etc. without the need of finding and killing slimes.

Reasoning
On the search of a plant-based alternative for slime, I thought gum was the most similar thing in real life. Both the texture and way of obtaining "Acacia Gumball" are based on real-life acacia gum (also known as gum arabica), which is obtained from the bark of acacias.

I decided to restrict this to only acacia (despite other real-life trees producing gum as well) in order to not make the mechanic too easy and exploitable. Acacia has the advantage of being available only on savannas (encouraging players to explore, just as they need to explore to find slimes), and having small trunks, which means that it isn't as easily farmed as, for example, spruce or jungle trees.

adding separate blocks as slime blocks and maybe a different looking sticky piston would be cool. just don't make it look too much like honey.
