    Slime Sniffing v1.0


    A HUGE shoutout to /u/elyisgreat on Reddit for developing the bulk of the work for this datapack! He's the one who did the work of implementing the slime chunk algorithm in Minecraft using scoreboard commands. This data pack is simply using his work and implementing it in a survival-friendly way. Would not be possible without him! You can find his original thread here.

    This data pack adds the ability for tamed wolves to sniff out slime chunks in your world!

    Usage

    ~ To use this new ability, simply toss a Slimeball to your tamed wolf. He will "sniff" the Slimeball, consuming it in the process.

    ~ If the Wolf (not the player!) is in a slime chunk, he will bark. If he is not in a slime chunk, he will whine (sounds like a whimper).

    ~ The Slimeball stack must be only 1 item. Wolves will not eat stacks of Slimeballs of more than 1!

    ~ There is an 8-second cooldown on this ability per Wolf.

    Installation (IMPORTANT PLEASE READ)

    Installation of this data pack is a bit more involved than a normal data pack, but I promise it's not too bad! This data pack requires information based on your world's seed and will require you to have access to it (Normal players won't be able to see the seed, but the data pack needs this information to work properly).

    1) Please download slimeSniffingSeed.html under the Alternate Download URL. This is a simple html/javascript web application that will allow you to generate the information you need. Open it using your browser and you should get a screen that looks like this
    .

    2) Enter your world's seed into the text box and click Submit.

    3) You will get 2 values as a response: '#seed_hi' and '#seed_lo'. Save this page in a separate tab, you will need it later.

    4) Now, Copy the actual .zip file of the data pack into the world/datapacks folder of your minecraft save.

    5) Unzip the .zip file into a new folder called 'slime_sniffing_v1.0' (The version number should obviously change with whatever version of this datapack you may be using).

    6) Delete the .zip file, leaving only the folder you created in Step 5 .

    7) Navigate to the following location inside of the datapack folder you just made: 'slime_sniffing_v1.0/data/slime_chunk_finder/functions/config/'

    8) Open 'seed.mcfunction' with any text editor (notepad on Windows works fine)

    9) Delete the text already in this file, copy the entire text of the page found in Step 3 and paste it into this file. Don't forget to save it!

    10) Close and reopen the world, or in multiplayer use /reload. You should be good to go!

    If you have any issues installing this data pack, please ask in the comments for help! I plan to eventually make a video tutorial to make this process easier.

    Uninstallation

    1) Run the command /function slime_sniffing:uninstall

    2) Remove the datapack from your world folder without reloading the world.
