Onion Onion

Overview

In real life, chopping onions aerosolizes the compound known as syn-Propanethial-S-oxide. This irritates the cells in human eyes through a short series of acidic chemical reactions, producing an iconic reaction.

This mod adds the ability to cut onions into slices (rings) to achieve a similar effect! The varying impacts of chopping onions are detailed further in the config.

Advancements

• Cry Me a River: Make a Ghast shed a tear by cutting onions nearby.
• Ninjas Cutting Onions Again...: While invisible, bring at least ten creatures to tears by cutting onions.

Config

You can alter the following:

• Does cutting onions have any impact at all? (default: true)
  • (Note: setting this to false basically turns this into a mod that just adds two or three foods.)
• Does peeling Big Onion blocks from Overweight Farming with an axe have the same effect as cutting onions? (default: true)
• Block radius within which blocks/entities are affected
  • Default: 2. Must be an integer. Capped at 16 to prevent extreme performance impacts.
• Does cutting onions cause damage to entities at all? (default: true)
• Chance of making ghasts shed a tear. Set to 0 to disable (default: 0.5)
• Chance of converting obsidian into crying obsidian. Set to 0 to disable (default: 0.25)
• Chance of growing nearby weeping vines. Set to 0 to disable (default: 0.75)

Tags

This mod adds two primary tags:

• onion_onion:unaffected_by_onions: an entity type tag populated with mobs that do not react to onions being cut in their vicinity. Includes skeletons, bosses, and a couple other creatures by default.

• onion_onion:onion_proof_helmets: entities wearing items from this tag on their head do not take onion-related damage. Includes items that cover the eyes, such as the diving helmets from Create.

• There's also a minor item tag for motley_mushrooms to include mushroom items that belong in the motley grill recipe. By default it includes compat with Spelunkery.
