Since the release of BETA V1, I have been getting flooded with questions on how exactly to use Little Delicacies. Because of this, I threw together a little guide for the BETA release specifically. It will show you the basics of the mod as well as its information and story.
[THIS IS STILL A WIP BUT IS RELEASED FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES | THIS VERSION OF THE 1.15 VERSION OF THE MOD HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND HAS RELOCATED TO "LITTLE DELICACY CAFE'S"]
LITTLE DELICACIES MOD GUIDE (BETA V1)
INTRODUCTION
In the once lonely world of Minecraft, now comes Little Delicacies!
This is our official Guide to the Little Delicacies Mod. Everything you need to know about the mod will be placed here. Both maids and butlers will be referred to as "Helpers" or "Servants" as a gender-neutral term to describe both mobs. (NOTE: Some features mentioned below are not fully implemented.)
ABOUT LD
Little Delicacies (LD for short) is a mod heavily based on “Little Maids Mob”. You can find Maids and Butlers of different Heights/Species/Genders and form a contract with them. Maids & Butlers are made of sugar, cocoa, slime, and something amorphous. These mobs survive on a diet of sugar and other things depending on the type of species they are. These helpers come from a dimension called the “Sugarn”, an RPG sugar fantasy world.
SPAWNING
These helpers can be found spawning randomly in the wild or in cafes that generate in the world. Cafes serve as safe havens for servants. They will work and sleep around a cafe until a player contracts them.
~Maid Life Cycle (BattleClover)
Servants will form a NPC-like schedule after Contracting.
Morning (wake up) -> Work -> Rest (Sit break with food/drink) -> Sleep -> Repeat
I wanted to clearly distinguish the living area of maids.Like working space, resting space, sleeping space. More maids live a planned and regular life.
Yes caves would be a problem, even if we set a max area that the maid checks or only have her look for home when assigned certain tasks perhaps we could have a configurable "home block" that designates an NxNxN block cube as home
Wild maids would make any light source when away from their home. The classification of the space I mentioned is the lifestyle of the hired maid. Have a wild maid make your home from any light source as you say
If you feel sorry for the maid, please send it to your house. But she will not work. It will also consume the food in your house.
During the break, the maid's condition is restored.
Maids can walk their dogs, relax under sunflowers, and go fishing leisurely. (COMING SOON)
Maids make a sandcastle and relax if there is sand.
The maid spends time with the cat and rests if there is a cat.
Maids climb up on sheep and enjoy rest.
The maid touches the chicken and rests (COMING SOON)
CONTRACTING
Once you find a helper, you can “tame” them with particular foods and sweets (Mostly Cake). Depending on the mob this will vary. A contract will be formed after you successfully do this. The contracted maid will dress herself with a headdress (hair accessory). Contracts last about 8-10 days or more depending on how much sugar and food is given to the mob to survive and work. Maids are tidy mobs ! They will automatically collect dropped items once contracted. Maid skirts are full of dreams.There is a Maid inventory (named "inside skirt") that can be opened when you right click the contracted maid without special items (sugar, feather, ect.) You can give her tools and items in her inventory this way. Each time you give them sugar, their waiting mode and activated mode is switched. After forming a contract with your helper, you are able to change the hair color and some other features by right-clicking them with a hairbrush (Brush feature coming soon). Available in multiple colors and characters!
SPAWN BELLS
In History, Bells were used to call servants. So naturally instead of using egg shaped spawn eggs we use call bells instead. Each Call Bell can summon a servant of any height/gender of that particular species. Each bell shows distinctly through visuals what kind of servant it represents through theme.
Maid,Butler,WanderMaid,EnderMaid,CowMaid,SquirrelMaid,Squirrel Butler,Planter,Zombmaid,Zombutler
JOBS
How Jobs Are Assigned
Each job is placed into 5 categories
Default
Gathering
Creation
Combat
Mage
Each of these categories will have a starting job with basic things they’re able to do. After enough XP has been gained helpers can then move on to more advanced and more powerful jobs. You cannot unlock higher level jobs instantly.
Here’s an example:
Gatherers will start with the “Escorter” job. This will let the helper pick up items in the vicinity and hold onto them for future use. After the helper has had enough experience with this job, they can then inherit the “Illuminator” job, letting them access a new set of skills.
Both the Creation and Combat categories use a similar system, and each job a maid has acquired can be switched to at any time.
Unemployed/Uncontracted
Retainers who have not been hired yet.
Escort
Helpers will follow and pick up dropped items
Free Mode
Right-click a Retainer with a feather and they will wander around freely
Leash
Are helpers being stubborn? Use a lead on her to make her follow you somewhere
Illuminator
Maids with Torches/Lanterns placed in their inventory will place them down in dark places. Helps if you are mining in a cave
Chef
Give Retainer uncooked food with some coal, right-click with sugar and they will cook you the food you gave them
Ability to make food from recipes similar to the player making food for themselves as long as ingredients are given.
Barista
Give a chef helper a barista apron and they can fashion different kinds of drinks for you
Similar to a chef job but for drinks instead of food.
Farmer
Maids who have buckets equipped in their hand will milk nearby cows.
If any hoe is equipped maids can harvest and replant fully-grown crops much like the farmers in villages. Seeds must be in maids inventory in order to plant more crops
Fisher
In freedom mode, if a servant is given a fishing pole, if there is a body of water nearby they will go to it and fish for you. Maids can fish in the ocean, rivers, or lakes. Anywhere that has water.
LumberJack
Helpers with axes placed in their inventory will cut down trees and collect the wood. They will also use this wood to make basic items like sticks and wooden planks for others.
Miner
Helpers who have a pickaxe equipped are capable of mining any nearby ores like coal, iron, gold, diamond, emerald, and modded ores as well. Helpers will avoid dangers like lava and will run from monsters
Scientist Maid
Class specialized in analysis and research. Give the maid a pebble and a water bucket and take some time to get pieces of copper, tin, iron, gold, silver, diamond, tungsten and tantalum. Also, if an apple, an empty glass bottle and a milk bucket are given to a scientist maid, the empty bucket and glass bottle will be returned and bioplastics will be obtained. (Coming Soon)
You can choose one of three combat classes by spending LV points.
Shield Maids focus all monsters' Aggro on themselves in combat. Spending level points. When the maid's level points go up, the player can choose the maid's job, which is permanently fixed to that job upon paying the level point
Job Name: Fencer
Job Category: COMBAT - Sword
Levels Needed: Ex. Combat Lvl 0-1
Short Desc: Just place any sword in the first slot of the Helper’s inventory and give them some sugar or sweets. Fencers will attack any HOSTILE entity near you. Damage taken by the Fencer is restored by giving them sugar or sweets in their inventory.
Job Name: Guard
Job Category:
Levels Needed:
Short Desc: The guard maid has a very strong defence using the shield along with a sword. This maid deploys a shield and moves to enemies when in combat. The movement speed does not slow down. Guard Maids are based on a raging blade attack with a long melee range of 3 blocks. Guard maids are released when attacking and are attacked when monsters attack.
Job Name: Double Sword
Job Category: Sword Dash
Levels Needed:
Short Desc:
Double Sword Specialized in many battles. Blocks all projectiles such as fireballs, arrows, shulker attacks, etc. However, the Double Sword Maid cannot block melee attacks. This maid attacks with a double sword, so they attack very fast. Charges once every 3 seconds, dealing 2x critical damage to the target. Every time the Double Sword Maid dashes, nearby monsters take normal damage
Job Name: Shielder
Job Category:
Levels Needed:
Short Desc:
All monsters are focused on the Shield Maid. They’ll remain defensive until all shields are destroyed. When a monster approaches and attacks, the shield maid spreads their arms and rotates their body, dealing damage to monsters everywhere
Shield maid attack pattern.
Use two shields to block all-round attacks until you get close to the mob.
When you reach the attack range, you use your shield to make a normal attack.
After skill cooldown, open your arms and attack the mob twice in all directions.
Shield Maids now release their defenses when rotating, and can be damaged by mobs.
And there is a skill that automatically attracts the attention of mobs.
Mob's attack priority is temporarily focused on the shield maid (about 10 seconds).
Job Name: Crusader
Special Skill: Absolute Defense
Job Skills Needed: Ex. Archer lvl 3 | Crusader lvl 1
Short Desc: A wide translucent defensive wall is deployed.
It prevents all sorts of attacks and can't pass through physically.
Archer
Maids with Bows placed in their inventory will also attack hostile mobs, shoots much like a skeleton
JOB TOOLS
~Job Wands
The job stick specifies the maid's workspace. For example, if you assign an Archer Maid to the right by clicking on the job stick and clicking on the Reconnaissance Range to the left, the Archer Maid will scout around the designated area. Currently, it is limited to set the monitoring range with Redstone, but this space designation method can be used more usefully. (Of course, during the break, the archer maid moves to a private space designated by the maid home stick to rest.
FOOD
Ability to craft cafe styled food and other various ingredients.You are able to tame/ pay maids with these sugary sweets like sugar or cake in the vanilla game. The player can also eat/drink these foods. The difference between the sweets and full-on sugar will be like how much health it would heal. Sugar can be healing to a certain amount. Larger deserts (like cake or pie) will heal more compared to smaller foods like candy. When multiple food modes are added, I would like the maids to have a random favorite food. Every maid would have a favorite food set at random, and when she gets the food she wants, she would be very pleased, speeding up her work. (Favorite foods feature coming soon)
Baked:
Cake (Devil's Food, Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Lavender, Ice Cream, Cheesecake, Coffee, Strawberry, Birthday Cake)
Cupcakes (Devil's Food, Red Velvet, Carrot Cake, Lavender, Strawberry, Lemon, Funfetti-Birthday)
Donuts (Powdered Jelly, Chocolate Glazed, Strawberry frosted)
Pie (Pecan, Apple, KeyLime, Cherry, Blueberry)
Macaroon (Green tea, Lemon, Chocolate, Caramel, Raspberry)
Cookies (Thumbprint, Fortune, Gingerbread, Sugar cookie w/ Frosting)
Japanese Cafe Food (Raindrop Cake, Taiyaki(ice cream), Taiyak, Daifuku Wag, Sakura Wag, Miyage)
Pocky (GreenTea, Strawberry, Original)
Tea
Chamomile, Earl Grey, Green Tea, Bubble/Boba,
Alcohol
Saki, Lemon Sour, Oolong Hai, Umeshu, Yuzushu
GUI AND MORE
~Servants have the ability to respawn after dying
Helpers will respawn after a certain amount of time if they get killed. They will be in a “ghost” mode and follow the player around until they are solid and resurrect. Or if a Player has a sugar totem they can bring their servants back to life instantly by right-clicking the totem on the ghost.
~Better Skill Leveling
Maids/Butlers will be slower at their job you assigned to them at first, they will earn more experience by doing that task more than once. They can earn skills for different tasks,
Example: If you wanted a maid that only cooks for you and uses that food to heal you her level in those skills will be higher than other tasks. Maids/Butlers Inventories will have a separate tab you can select to see what skills they know and what level those skills are at. (Job selection may change in the future)
~Inventory
This is the menu that is displayed by default. The maid has a small inventory (although it can be upgraded by the backpack accessory) but they make up for it by being able to use storage to move items. On top of their inventory, they have three slots to the right. The first is the maids “hand”, which is where the main item they use is held. It’s important to give the maids the tool they need to do their job, or their work efficiency will decrease drastically. You can choose what hand to put a tool in, and make tool combos depending on a helpers job class. They can hold up to 2 tools.
~Name
In the maid/butlers inventory, you can set a name up for your servant in the "settings" section. A GUI name-tag will appear above their heads after a name has been assigned. You can change the servant's name at any time.
~Status
A maid’s status menu lists all of their main attributes as in Health, Hunger, Energy, and Happiness. All of these meters are displayed as bars of different colors with a matching icon that’s easily understandable.
As we continue to work on this mod more features will be added. I have much planned so stick around for future news! If you have any questions or want to report a bug you may do so in our HELP CENTER ON DISCORD
