About


This datapack adds a new storm event to the game. While installed, Zombies and Skeletons have a 2.5% chance to drop the storm’s summon item, known as the ‘Storm in a Bottle’. The player must use the summon item in an open area above ground in the overworld in order to trigger the event.



Once used, a countdown occurs allocating the player 30 seconds to prepare for the event. After the countdown has occurred, players will face 3 rounds that all last 2 ½ minutes, with each round increasing in difficulty but providing better loot. During these rounds, waves of enemies spawn continuously until the the round ends. These enemies drop custom loot which can only be obtained from the event.


After players have beaten all 3 rounds (7 ½ minutes into the event), the final round occurs. At the centre of the battlefield, a boss is spawned. It is known as ‘The Sentinel of the Storm’ and attacks the player with its powerful bow ‘The eye of the Storm’. The player is sent upwards if hit by its arrows, but if the arrows miss, an angry bolt of lightning strikes the spot where it lands.

Loot
This pack adds 11 custom items to the game, including:

  Boss Drops

• Storm Helmet
  
• Storm Breastplate
• Storm Leggings Storm Boots
• The eye of the Storm (Bow)

  Mob Drops

• Storm Arrows
• The Bow of the Storm Skeleton
• The Sword of the Storm Soldier
• The Axe of the Storm Soldier
• The Shield of the Storm Soldier

  Summon Item

The loot mentioned above also applies certain buffs to the player, as well as containing custom attributes such as 'lightning on miss' for The eye of the Storm.

Difficulty

I designed this event to be played at the stage where the player has acquired diamonds but not yet explored the nether. Although the difficulty will vary depending on the players progress through the game, I would give it the following depending on the players progress. The following table measures the difficulty depending on the stats of the player:

Armor	Enchantments	Difficulty
Leather/Gold	None	Impossible
	Half	Impossible
	Full	Hard
Chainmail	None	Impossible
	Half	Hard
	Full	Hard
Iron	None	Hard
	Half	Medium
	Full	Medium
Diamond	None	Medium
	Half	Medium
	Full	Easy
Netherite	None	Easy
	Half	Super-Easy
	Full	Super-Easy

As you can see, this is a mid-game event. Consequently, the loot given from the event is mid-tier items such as full protection iron armour.

Feedback
Please leave any feedback such as bugs or issues in the comments, i would greatly appreciate any feedback since this is my first public datapack. Although I have been coding in Minecraft for several years, I am still new to the datapack scene.

I will be working on bug fixes in the near future, so please be patient if you see the bug has already been reported. Enjoy!
