Spell Reagents are resources you use to cast a spell - the most standard being something like "mana". MythicRPG comes with a couple hardcoded reagents, but also allows you to create custom reagents that you can manipulate however you want, including by scaling using the stat system.

Hardcoded Reagents

Hardcoded Reagents	Description
health	Requires health to cast. Damages you when the spell is used.
food	Requires food to cast. Consumes food when the spell is used.

Custom Reagents

Custom Reagents are defined in a reagents.yml in any pack folder.

Each reagent file can have as many reagents in it as you'd like, but they must all have unique names.

Custom Stat Options

Option	Description
Display	How the reagent is displayed in messages and GUIs.
MinValue	The minimum value of the reagent. Usually zero.
MaxValue	The max value of the reagent. Can be a stat using `stat.[stat_name]`
Global: true	If true, players always have this reagent.

Mana:
  Display: 'Mana'
  MinValue: 0
  MaxValue: stat.MAX_MANA
  Global: true

Optional Supporting Stat

As you see above in the MaxValue option, instead of setting a static value it's possible to use a stat as the MaxValue, making it dynamically change depending on the player's stats.

To implement one such stat, you can write something like the following in the stats.yml file in any pack folder

MAX_MANA:
  Enabled: true 
  Display: 'Max Mana'
  BaseValue: 1000
  Formatting:
    Additive: '+<value> Max Mana'
    Multiply: '+<value> Max Mana'
    Compound: 'x<value> Max Mana'

Consuming Reagents

Reagents can be consumed when performing certain actions. You can consume them by:

Using the modifyresource mechanic

  - modifyReagent{reagent=mana;amount=10} @self

Selecting them as a Cost when casting a Spell

  Cost:
  - mana 50

Custom Reagents Placeholders

Custom Reagent values can be displayed using PlaceholderAPI placeholders - we recommend using our HappyHUD plugin for this to create nice-looking reagent bars.

%mythic_reagent_[name]% - The reagent's current value
%mythic_reagent_max_[name]% - The reagent's maximum value
