Basic Summary

This event concluded!

assignment_turned_in Rules & Guidelines

This is an example of how your data pack download will appear to viewers. This should ensure your pack easily playable on it's own during and after the event.

• Do not embed the framework in your data pack! Keep them as separate data packs. Your entry page will automatically display a button to download the required framework. Viewers simply install both data packs and your implementation will work.
• Only one submission per member. As explained above, you are allowed to add multiple scenarios.
• No required custom resource packs, because the assets inside are too likely to clash with others when submissions are merged.
• Use the Data Pack Checker to automatically check your implementation before submitting (PMC submission and wiki page). Download the rules from here and use the config file that's in the framework download (.zip file).
  
  Rules automatically checked by DPC

  • Create datapack for version 1.16.5 and up (version identifier 6).
  • No dangerous or global commands allowed (ban/kick/op/gamerule/worldborder/etc, see the configuration file for the full list.)
  • The functions registered in uninstall/register/load tags cannot have visible output (chat, sound, particles).
  • The functions registered in the register tag can only have commands that match the template. No other commands allowed.
  • Besides the specified tags, the bertiecrafter/minecraft/steve namespaces cannot be used, use a namespace you own (like your IGN) instead. This also means that you cannot register functions in #minecraft:load and #minecraft:tick.
  • Besides commands referenced by #bertiecrafter:mcb/register, in-game resources cannot have "bcmcb" prefix or "bertiecrafter" namespace.
  • Tags cannot be specified in a way that it overrides the contents of other tags. (The "replace" key)
  • All functions must start with a comment beginning with "#As/At" that describe where (~ ~ ~) and as what (@s) a function executes. Two distinct comments starting with "#As" and "#At" are allowed too.
  • The uninstall function must contain a removal command for all detected commands that create something. (E.g. you must provide a "/scoreboard objectives remove" command for every "/scoreboard objectives add")
  • You must prefix all in-game resources (objectives, tags, bossbars, teams, etc) to prevent clashes. (e.g. "svmcb_" for "Steve's Minecraft But")
  • All resources (functions, tags, structures) must be inside a mcb folder. That means that most function commands will look something like "/function my_namespace:mcb/my_function".
  • The pack.mcmeta file must specify version 6.
  • In the off-chance of 1.17 being released during the event, a rule will be released that will highlight which commands you need to change and where.

• The submission has to be survival and multiplayer compatible.
• You cannot modify old submissions to fit the framework for this event. It's only allowed if you are the original author of the old submission and you do not submit it to this event.
• Your scenario(s) must not be influenced by a player's voluntary actions. (No confirmation or configuration prompts for example.)
• After your scenario ends and the Stop function is called, your scenario should be completely hidden. The player cannot be under the influence of your scenario when it isn't active.
• When your scenario is active, the player must be continuously influenced by it (short intervals allowed). The player shouldn't experience something once and then have to wait 5 minutes until the next scenario. Commands run once leaving a lasting impact on the player which is then cleaned up in the stop function are allowed.
• Your scenario must be repeatable. Make sure your stop and start functions reset and prepare for a next occurrence.
• The usual Planet Minecraft rules still apply. No inappropriate content, no advertising, no stealing content or anything like that. Using other people's content even with their permission and credit is not allowed either.
