🎈Example Balloons

Want to have a taste of the capabilities of Bloons? The example balloons that come packaged are an easy way to experiment and to see what Bloons cando.

Where Can I Find These?

All of the below configuration files are stored in Bloons/balloons and are created upon the first initialization of the plugin.

Color Pack

This example pack of balloons shows how you can easily create collections of balloons with custom properties like colors and custom model data.

color_pack_example.yml

# A configuration like this is expressed as a balloon "pack" internally
# It can contain all the way from one balloon to technically an infinite
# amount of balloons, as long as the server can handle it.
blue:
  type: single
  id: blue
  permission: balloon.blue
  material: FLINT
  custom-model-data: 4
  name: '<blue>Blue <white>Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'
green:
  type: single
  id: green
  permission: balloon.green
  material: FLINT
  custom-model-data: 5
  name: '<green>Green <white>Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'
pink:
  type: single
  id: pink
  permission: balloon.pink
  material: FLINT
  custom-model-data: 6
  name: '<light_purple>Pink <white>Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'
yellow:
  id: yellow
  permission: balloon.yellow
  material: FLINT
  custom-model-data: 7
  name: '<yellow>Yellow <white>Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'

Dyeable

An example of how easy it can be to create single balloons with custom hex code color values with custom properties like balloon height above the player and a custom leash height.

dyeable_example.yml

# This is an example of a singular balloon config, this is a dyeable balloon that
# can be dyed to any color in the game. This is a very simple example of a balloon
# that contains just one segment.
dyeable_example:
  type: single
  id: dyeable_example
  permission: balloon.dyeable
  leash-height: 1.2
  balloon-height: 2.0
  material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR
  color: '#ffffff'
  custom-model-data: 1
  name: '<white>Dyeable Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Example Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'

MEG (ModelEngine)

(MEG) ModelEngine is now a part of our Jeqo Studios family and is especially useful when creating complex models for our single-node balloons. There is no current plan for implementing MEG into our multipart balloon systems.

meg_example.yml

# An example of a MEG balloon which utilizes custom models from ModelEngine
meg_example:
  id: meg_example
  permission: balloon.meg_example
  meg-model-id: meg_example
  icon:
    material: FLINT
    custom-model-data: 7
    name: '<white>MEG Balloon'
    lore:
      - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
      - ''
      - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'

Multipart

This is an awesome balloon to show you how easy it can be to create a chain or multipart balloon. These can be stored the same as single balloons in packs and take advantage of inverse kinematics physics.

multipart_example.yml

# This is an example of a configuration which only holds the configuration data of
# a singular multipart balloon. This is a train balloon that has a head, body, and tail.
multipart_example:
  type: multipart # The type of balloon, this must be multipart for multipart balloons
  id: multipart_example # The id of the balloon, this must be unique
  permission: balloon.multipart_example
  name: '<white>Multipart Balloon'
  lore:
    - '&8Bloons Default Balloon'
    - ''
    - '&eᴄʟɪᴄᴋ ᴛᴏ ᴇǫᴜɪᴘ'
  node-count: 5 # The amount of nodes/models in the balloon including the head and tail
  distance-between-nodes: 2.0 # The distance between nodes/models in blocks
  leash-height: 1.2 # The height of the leash from the zero relative to the balloon
  head-node-offset: 0.0 # The offset of length of head node segments in blocks
  body-node-offset: 0.0 # The offset of length of body node segments in blocks
  tail-node-offset: 0.0 # The offset of length of tail node segments in blocks
  max-joint-angle: 35.0 # The max angle in degrees of freedom for each joint between nodes
  y-axis-interpolation: 0.2 # The amount of interpolation between nodes on the Y axis (must be between 0.0 and 1.0)
  turning-spline-interpolation: 0.5 # The amount of interpolation for the spline when turning
  passive-sine-wave-speed: 0.05 # The speed of the passive sine wave
  passive-sine-wave-amplitude: 0.5 # The amplitude of the passive sine wave
  passive-nose-sine-wave-amplitude: 0.5 # The amplitude of the passive sine wave for the nose
  head: # Head must be supplied for a balloon of this kind
    material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR # The material of the head
    color: '#FF0000' # The color of the head item, this is optional
    custom-model-data: 10280 # The custom model data of the head, this is not required but is recommended for use of models
  body: # Body must be supplied for a balloon of this kind
    material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR # The material of the body
    color: '#ffffff' # The color of the body, this is optional
    custom-model-data: 10281 # The custom model data of the body, this is not required but is recommended for use of models
  tail: # Tail must be supplied for a balloon of this kind
    material: LEATHER_HORSE_ARMOR # The material of the tail
    color: '#ffffff' # The color of the tail, this is optional
    custom-model-data: 10282 # The custom model data of the tail, this is not required but is recommended for use of models
