Professions

Professions in BWRP serve to add extra thematic tools to enhance roleplay and to make your chosen profession easier, whether this is the rancher being able to use a skill to breed animals, or the surveyor being able to craft different stone types on the fly. The professions only ever aim to add and enhance rather than restrict any basic minecraft functionality.

You can take any of the professions in any direction you’d like. Your profession has a big hand in deciding the base of your character and roleplay opportunities they will have access to. Many characters define themselves by their professions, but it’s not uncommon to find a character who defines themselves by their lack of a profession.

Three Hjen, of varying affinities.

Alchemist

Using custom ingredients with the brewery plugin, the alchemist is probably not for newer players. They bring a skill or a bottle that can solve most problems, bar death, so long as they’ve had the time and ingredients to prepare. Thankfully, they have access to the Alchemist’s Gather skill, allowing them to harvest useful brewery items from various biomes, as well as a chance at rare potion ingredients.

Skills

Gather Requires Shears. 30 seconds after activation in most biomes, you'll have gathered some basic alchemical ingredients, including those used to make tea.

Expert Antidote Expends "Antidote" to cure poison effects.

Reduce Withering Expends "Kiss of Life" to heal themselves or those around’s wither 4 or lower.

Eyedrops Expends "Eye Drops" to heal themselves or those around’s blindness.

Stimulate Motion Expends "Curative Salve" to heal themselves or those around’s slowness 2 or lower.

Spread Good Vibes Expends "Good Vibes" to heal themselves or those around’s bad luck.

Fix Enfeeblement Expends "Morale’s Restoration" to heal themselves or those around’s weakness.

Adamantine Encouragement Expends "Drop of Adamant" to heal themselves or those around’s mining fatigue.

Assemble Gas Pot Requires "Lung's Grasp" in the main hand + "Alchemical Pot" in the offhand.

Assemble Poison Arrow Requires "Blood's Bane" in the main hand + Arrow in the offhand.

Angler

This profession centres around fishing, as does its main custom skill Trawl. Supported by some unique crafting recipes to improvise cooking fish, drawing fibres from plants to use in nets, or improvising rafts from sticks, the Angler is a master of survival on the waterfront.

Skills

Trawl Requires Fisherman's Net in mainhand. On use, may break the net. Must be stood in water or boat for duration. After 30 seconds it pulls the net in to see what you got!

Craft Net removes 9 string from inventory and gives Fisherman's Net.

Portable Lung removes puffer fish from inventory and gives 30s of waterbreathing.

Artificer

Artificers are the lifeblood of progress on BWRP. Wonders of mechanics and redstone, artificers gravitate towards careers in engineering and invention. Artificers have no additional skills bar ones that craft, but artificers are able to unlock complicated crafting recipes and mechanisms with interesting mechanical effects in game. Once an artificer, you are also able to unlock the majority of invention based crafting RP with Storytellers.

Skills

Industrious Run this skill to begin Artificer RP with staff.

Craft Molotov A skill to turn 6* distilled vodka into a working Molotov. Requires 6* distilled vodka in the main hand and Artificer Mix in the offhand. Expends both.

Mechanisms

Hidden Switches requires three things; A block to put the sign on. Either a sign post or a wall sign with [X] as the second line. A lever or button one block away from the sign in any right angle direction. Right clicking a block next to the sign will toggle the switch(es) or button(s) adjacent to the sign.

The Crush mechanism breaks blocks that the piston head is pushed into. It requires a sign attached to the piston, with the second line being [Crush]. Upon being powered, the block into which the piston extends is the block that will be destroyed.

The Bounce mechanism propels blocks and entities. It requires a sign attached to the piston, with the second line being [Bounce], and the third being the velocity of the bounce. The maximum bounce velocity is 10 (this is a Minecraft limitation). The block that the piston extends over is the one from which any entities or blocks that are directly above it will be propelled.

The SuperSticky mechanism allows blocks to be pulled that are farther than 1 block away. It requires a sign attached to the piston, with the second line being [SuperSticky], and the third being the number of blocks to pull. The maximum amount is 10. The third line can also allow it to pull back a distance farther than 1 in a single pulse. To do so, enter it in this format: maxdistance-pullperpulse. For example, 10-2 would pull blocks up to 10 blocks away at a rate of 2 blocks per pulse.

If AIR is on the last line, it gains the ability to pull AIR as if it were a solid block.

The SuperPush mechanism also allows air to be pushed by pistons. It requires a sign attached to the piston, with the second line being [SuperPush], and the third being the amount of blocks to push. The maximum amount is 10. The third line can also allow it to push forward a distance farther than 1 in a single pulse. To do so, enter it in this format: maxdistance-pushperpulse. For example, 10-2 would push blocks up to 10 blocks away at a rate of 2 blocks per pulse.

Pipes allow you to quickly transfer items from one place to another, they consist of numerous parts:

  • An Item Source. This can be any block with an inventory (Chests, Hoppers, Furnaces, Dispensers, ect)
  • A sticky piston pointed at the source. When the piston becomes powered or unpowered, items are sucked out of the source into the pipe one at a time.
  • A sign on the sticky piston. It must have [Pipe] on the second line. A message in chat should confirm this worked.
  • A tube of blocks to act as the pipe.
  • A piston pointed at the destination.
  • An item destination. This can be any block with an inventory (Chests, Hoppers, Furnaces, Dispensers, ect)

Pipe Filtering is possible with pipes. To do so, just place a sign on the either sticky or normal piston, with the following text on it:

  • [Leave 1st line blank]
  • [Pipe]
  • [ID’s to include, separated by commas] Eg, “1,4,5:2” to only pipe stone, cobble and birch wood.
  • [ID’s to exclude, separated by commas] Eg, “1,4,5:2” will pipe everything BUT stone, cobble and birch wood.

Insulation , because pipes are allowed to connect diagonally, they have the ability to be insulated. Insulation means that if a wool block is between every possible diagonal connection of 2 tube blocks, they will not connect.

Tube Types; Different blocks perform different functions when used as a tube:

  • Glass Tubes. Standard glass blocks are simple pipes that pass through all items piped in with no special behaviour. They act as normal pipes.
  • Stained Glass Tubes. Stained glass blocks are used to allow multiple pipes to run next to each other. Stained pipes will only transfer items to standard pipes, or stained pipes of the same color.
  • Intersection Tubes. Glass pane blocks are pipe blocks that will only connect pipes straight in the direction the pipe came from. This allows for two unrelated pipes to pass through the same block.
  • Stained Intersection Tubes. Stained glass panes act similarly to intersection tubes, however they only work with other pipes of the same colour.

Blacksmith

In BWRP, all players are able to craft the vanilla minecraft metal recipes, but Blacksmiths do it better. Our Blacksmiths can make gold and chain armor that can rival iron, whilst also bringing an extensive list of custom items from long spears to throwing hammers to a doctor’s trusty pair of scissors.

Surveyor

Explorer, architect, builder, or miner, the surveyor can cover many roles with its varied custom recipes that aid in cheaply producing construction materials, and easily acquiring survival gear.
