I'm slowly working on a Sly Cooper themed modpack for Minecraft!
Background:
I've been playing Sly & Minecraft since I was a child, and to this day the Sly Cooper series is still my favorite video game franchise to this day. So believe me when I say I understand how niche we are as Sly fans in the grand scheme of gaming 😭😂
As for Minecraft I've been into mods forever also, but just recently decided to start messing around with making my own. I initially just wanted to start with something small, so I thought to add Sly's cane. But then as I kept fleshing it out, I was like, it would be really cool to have a Sly Cooper modpack/adventure pack for MC. I looked it up and there's not a whole lot out there already, so I figured it could be a cool thing to do in my spare time! (definitely passion project vibes lol)
Actual Cane & Gameplay Mechanics:
First things first, the art & aesthetic are kinda rough right now 😂 like I said I'm still early on in this but I want to make them cooler later on if I can.
- The Cane is a Sword/Tool. It deals blunt damage swinging like a sword.
- Right clicking on mobs/players with it, will do Sly's classic Slam move!
- Shit+Right Clicking on mobs let's you pickpocket them too. There's a success and a fail RNG.
- if you Succeed you get randomized loot (could be an emerald, diamond, ancient debris, carrot, bread, seeds, etc.) percentages vary
- if you fail, then the mob will be alerted to you and become hostile if able
- ALSO Shift+Right Clicking on both PLAYERS & CHESTS will let you pickpocket them as well. The same success rates apply, HOWEVER instead of randomized loot on success, you would actually take a real thing from the respective inventory! And the chest won't even open so you can stay sneaky 😉
- a Fail would make a audible angry-villager sound effect to alert the player [nearby].
Let me know what you think! I think I'm going to just keep going down the list of different canes for right now and then slowly add more gadgets as well as custom blocks to let you do stuff like hook-swing and more! With the ultimate end goal being to MAYBE recreate a intro level to a game or something, who knows lol. Depends on how in-over-my-head I get 😂
