Types

What an egg type is, the two shipped types, repeatable eggs, and adding or removing a type.

A type is what an egg is. Each one is a file in types/, and its name is the file name: types/golden.conf is the type golden. Every key of a type file is on Type files.

The shipped types

Type	Name	Reward	Particle	Effects
`common`	Common Egg	50 experience points	3 `HAPPY_VILLAGER`	A pickup sound, You found a Common Egg, the count on the action bar
`golden`	Golden Egg	500 experience points	5 `END_ROD`	A level-up sound, You found a Golden Egg, a title Golden Egg with Well hidden under it

Both are found once and never again.

Repeatable eggs

cooldown = "1d"

A type with a cooldown can be found again by the same player once the time has passed since their last find of that egg. Each repeat find pays the type's reward and plays its effects; it does not count again towards milestones, completion or the board. Inside the cooldown, a click answers This egg is ready again in 23h 10m. An egg the player has found once stops drawing idle particles and radar hints for them, even when it is ready again.

A time is written with d, h, m and s: 30m, 12h, 1d 12h. A cooldown the plugin cannot read is treated as empty, so the egg is found once only, and the console says so.

Adding a type

Copy types/common.conf to types/<name>.conf. The name holds lower-case letters, digits, - and _, up to 32.
Change what it says: the name, the head, the reward, the particle, the effects.
For a name players read in their own language, add type.<name>.name to every messages file and write display-name = "@type.<name>.name".
Run /uxmeastereggs reload. The type is in the picker and in create.

A file whose name is not a valid type name, or which cannot be read, is skipped with the reason in the console; the other types load.

Removing a type

Delete its file and reload. Its eggs stay on the map and answer This egg has no type until you change their type with /uxmeastereggs set <egg> type <type> or put the file back.

The two shipped types are written back at every start when their file is missing, so common and golden return after a restart. To retire one of them, keep the file and place no egg of it; it then shows in the collection as Found 0 of 0.

The collection

The collection has one tile per type, not per egg: how many of that type's eggs the player has found, out of how many are placed, and whether they have found them all.
