Blacksmith

The blacksmith plugin adds a blacksmith trait and a scrapper to Citizens NPCs. Blacksmith NPCs are able to repair a player's held item for a fee. Costs are highly customizable. Scrapper NPCs can break down items into their crafting recipe.

Important changes from the original fork

• The problem with armor being unrepairable because the player would equip it instead has been fixed.
• A lot of configuration value have had their paths altered, so configurations need to be updated.
• By default, natural cost is used. The original fork made it cheaper the more damaged an item is, but natural cost makes the cost increase the more damaged the item is.
• EnchantmentTarget is used instead of a hard-coded list of repairable items
• All settings, both global and for each blacksmith / scrapper, can be changed using commands, and support tab-completion.
• This plugin is not directly compatible with the original. If you are using the old one, you will need to set it up again!

Required dependencies

• Citizens2
• Vault
• Any Vault-supported Economy plugin

Basic usage

To create a new blacksmith, simply add the blacksmith trait to an NPC by selecting it with /npc select, and then using /trait add Blacksmith (See Citizens' documentation for more details).

To create a new scrapper, simply add the scrapper trait to an NPC by selecting it with /npc select, and then using /trait add Scrapper (See Citizens' documentation for more details).

Right-clicking the NPC will tell you if the currently held item is repairable by the blacksmith / salvageable by the scrapper. If it is, the blacksmith / scrapper should give a price quote. Right-clicking again starts the repair / salvage. The item should be given back or dropped after a random delay according to the set limits.

While costs are always set globally (no blacksmith or scrapper can do the same job for cheaper), the blacksmith / scrapper's messages, cool-down between each reforge / salvage, whether the item is dropped or given, the chance of failing or adding an enchantment, the maximum number of added enchantments, max and min delays, the length of the cool-down and which items the blacksmith is able to reforge / salvage can be changed individually.

Also note: As a change from the original plugin, unless a value for an NPC has been explicitly set for that NPC, it will mirror the values set in config.yml. This also means that configuration values aren't populated automatically in citizen's NPC save file. While you can manually set the values using the same keys as in config.yml, you should use the /blacksmith or /scrapper command when possible.

Non-standard functionality

There is some non-standard optional functionality for blacksmiths and scrappers that goes beyond repairing things with durability. They can all be enabled or disabled using configuration values.

• Blacksmiths can repair anvils if the option reforgeAnvils is enabled
• Scrappers can remove armor trim from items if salvageArmorTrims is enabled. This will always be done before salvaging the item itself. If not enabled, the item is considered un-salvageable.
• Scrappers can remove netherite from items if salvageNetherite is enabled. This will be done if no armor trim exists, before normal salvage. If not enabled, the item is considered un-salvageable.
• Scrappers can salvage enchanted items, and return some XP based on the enchantment set if salvageEnchanted is enabled. If not enabled, the item is considered un-salvageable.
• Scrappers can salvage just about anything with a crafting table recipe if extendedSalvageEnabled is enabled. As long as you have the amount of items produced by a crafting recipe, you can undo the recipe. Four planks can be salvaged into a log as an example.

Special behavior

In addition to just being able to repair items, blacksmiths / scrappers have some random features which can be cool or annoying:

• There is a chance that blacksmiths / scrappers fail to repair an item, leaving it at about the same durability as before (scrappers with extendedSalvageEnabled turned on might cause items in a stack to be lost). Use failReforgeChance to control the chance. Set it to 0 to remove the feature.
• There is a chance a blacksmith may add an enchantment to a reforged item. You can control the probability using extraEnchantmentChance, and set the maximum number of enchantments using maxEnchantments. EnchantmentBlockList can be used to block any enchantments you don't want to randomly grant.

Scrapper basics

A scrapper will produce salvage for a damage-able item by calculating the amount of items returned based on items in the recipe, and the percentage of durability left on the item. To avoid returning relatively worthless items instead of valuable items, trashSalvage can be configured. Trash salvage will only be returned if all non-trash items are returned as well. A scrapper will by default only salvage damage-able items (same as blacksmiths), but enabling extendedSalvageEnabled for a scrapper will allow it to salvage any crafting table recipe. Note that to salvage for example planks into wood, four wood will be taken.

When an item is salvaged, EXP will be returned based on enchantments on the item.

Commands

Command	Arguments	Description
/blacksmith	<option> [new-value]	Changes a configuration option for the selected blacksmith (use Citizens' /npc select first)
/blacksmithConfig	<reload/option> [new-value]	Changes a default/global blacksmith configuration value
/scrapper	<option> [new-value]	Changes a configuration option for the selected scrapper (use Citizens' /npc select first)
/scrapperConfig	<reload/option> [new-value]	Changes a default/global scrapper configuration value
/preset	<preset>[:filter]	Displays all materials included in the given preset, after applying the filter if set

For /blacksmith, /blacksmithConfig, /scrapper and /scrapperConfig, if a new value isn't specified, a description of the configuration option, and the current value, is displayed instead.

For /blacksmith or /scrapper, using -1 or null as the value will clear a custom value, making the NPC use the default value set in the config instead. Additionally, every value overridden for an NPC will display a marker (default: [NPC]) when displaying the current value.

Note: basePrice, pricePerDurabilityPoint and enchantmentCost can be set like: /blacksmithconfig option 4 or like /blacksmithconfig option material/enchantment 4 depending on whether you are setting the default or an override for a specific material/enchantment. For /blacksmithconfig <basePrice/pricePerDurabilityPoint/enchantmentCost> < material/enchantment>, using -1 or null as the value will clear the cost for the specified material/enchantment, using the default one instead.

basePrice and pricePerDurabilityPoint support using a wildcard "*" to set the price for multiple groups of materials at once. /blacksmithconfig basePrice golden* 43 would set the price of any material starting with "GOLDEN" to 43. You can also set netherite*: 34 directly in the config file to set the price of all netherite materials to 34.

Presets and filters:

Presets are a nice way to make specialized blacksmiths / scrappers by specifying categories of materials, instead of manually listing every material manually. They can only be used for the reforgeAbleItems and salvageAbleItems options.

Note: All of these can be used when specifying reforge-able and salvage-able items, such as "preset:weapon-smith:bow,preset:armor_smith:gold,PRESET:TOOL_SMITH,shield"

The format of reforge-able items requires each preset/material to be separated by a comma. If specifying a preset instead of a material, start by typing "preset:". Then you can type BLACKSMITH, WEAPON_SMITH, ARMOR_SMITH or TOOL_SMITH. If you want, you can add another colon and one of the filters supported by the preset. For example: "preset:WEAPON_SMITH:BOW" to make the blacksmith only repair bows and crossbows. You can use the same preset several times with different filters. For example: "preset:ARMOR_SMITH:DIAMOND,preset:ARMOR_SMITH:NETHERITE" would allow the blacksmith to repair all diamond and netherite armor.

Presets and filters can also be negated by applying a "-" character in front of the material name. For example, "-SHIELD" would make shields unrepairable, even if included in a listed preset. "preset:WEAPON_SMITH,-SHIELD" would allow the blacksmith to repair any weapon included in the WEAPON_SMITH preset except shields. "preset:BLACKSMITH,-ELYTRA"would allow the blacksmith to repair any repairable item, except elytra. You can also negate entire presets or filters. For example: "preset:blacksmith,-preset:armor-smith:diamond" would allow a blacksmith to repair all items, except diamond armor.

Blacksmith global-only options

Key	Value type	Default	Description
basePrice	positive decimal number	default: 10.0	The base price which has to be paid regardless of the durability remaining for an item. Setting this without specifying a material sets the basePrice for any item the basePrice has not been set for. You can use for example "netherite*: 10" to set the value for any material beginning with "netherite".
pricePerDurabilityPoint	positive decimal number	default: 0.005	The price added for each durability point present/missing (depends on whether natural cost is set to true or false). Setting this without specifying a material sets the pricePerDurabilityPoint for any item the pricePerDurabilityPoint has not been set for. You can use for example "netherite*: 10" to set the value for any material beginning with "netherite".
enchantmentCost	positive decimal number	default: 5	The added cost for each level of an enchantment present on the item. The cost can be set for specific enchantments. Not specifying an enchantment sets the value for all enchantments without a set value.
useNaturalCost	true/false	true	If true, each missing durability will add to the cost (price = basePrice + missingDurability * pricePerDurabilityPoint + enchantmentCost). If false, durability will be used to calculate the cost instead of missingDurability (this was the behavior before natural cost was added).
showExactTime	true/false	false	If true, blacksmiths will display exact time remaining in minutes and seconds, instead of vague expressions.
chippedAnvilReforgingCost	positive decimal number	10.0	The price for reforging a chipped anvil (slightly damaged). No other costs apply!

Language customization

All strings, even time units, are customizable. If you place a strings.yml file in the plugin folder, it will take priority over built-in languages. If you want to change strings, look at Blacksmith/src/main/resources/strings.yml for the proper keys. All strings have the format: ENUM: "Displayed string". The enum must be identical as it defines which string you have changed. All strings belonging to a language are beneath the language code and indented with two spaces.

The easiest way to add a new language is to copy an existing language and paste it into your custom strings.yml and change strings as necessary. If you don't include all strings, the remaining will use the built-in English translation. Remember to change the language code to whichever you use for your custom language.

The interval messages are unique in that if several values are separated by comma (option1,option2,option3), a random message will be chosen each time it's displayed.
