Built-In Game Mechanics

How to use the built-in Mineplex Studio Game MEchanics.

This is an archived Mineplex-era document, kept for reference during the transition. It may contain outdated branding and is not part of the core SixTwenty documentation.

The Studio SDK comes with extensive built-in Game Mechanics that provide foundational functionality for all Studio projects. These built-in Game Mechanics are automatically registered, and can be accessed via the MineplexGameMechanicFactory method construct(Class<T extends GameMechanic<? extends MineplexGame>)

Built-in mechanics are provided free-of-charge!

Example

Let's say we want to use the Ability mechanic in our project. As a very first step, we need to get a new instance of it.

public class ExampleGame implements MineplexGame {
    private final MineplexGameMechanicFactory gameMechanicFactory =
            MineplexModuleManager.getRegisteredModule(MineplexGameMechanicFactory.class);

    private AbilityMechanic abilityMechanic;
    
    @Override
    public void setup() {
        this.abilityMechanic = this.gameMechanicFactory.construct(AbilityMechanic.class);
        this.abilityMechanic.setup(this);
        
        // TODO: Register your own abilities here
    }

    @Override
    public void teardown() {
        this.abilityMechanic.teardown();
    }
}
