This mod adds puzzles to the game.

The first one is the clock puzzle.

A player needs to set the clock to the correct time in order for it to open and reward the player with an item.

The correct time and the rewards (loots) can be edited inside the json file.

When the server loads the mod for the first time a folder called "Buddys_Clock" with a json-file inside called "Buddys_Clock_Config" will be created.

Inside are three editable options:

buddysclocktimes1 -> hours

IMPORTANT -> a value of "2" for "buddysclocktimes1" means 1 o´clock

buddysclocktimes2 -> minutes

buddysclockloot -> reward

Only one item of the defined ones will be randomly rewarded.

On the clock are two papers which act as hints to solve the riddle. -> both can be edited / retextured to fit the time used.

Name of the clock:

Grandfather_Clock_Riddle

Warning: When the player tries to open the clock and the time set is wrong a sound will be played that alarms nearby zombies. If the time is correct a different sound will be played.

The second one is a coin puzzle.

A player needs to insert the three coins into certain slots in a specific order.

The correct order/slots and the rewards (loots) can be edited inside the json file.

When the server loads the mod for the first time a folder called "Buddys_Clock" with a json-file inside called "Buddys_Clock_Config" will be created.

Inside are three editable options:

buddyscoinslots-> defines which slots need to be filled

buddyscoinitems-> defines which coin needs to be in the previously defined slots

IMPORTANT: The coins need to be inserted left to right. Inserting it in a different way wont work. You need to detach the coins and start again in that case.

buddysdeskloot-> reward

Only one item of the defined ones will be randomly rewarded.

On the deskare two papers which act as hints to solve the riddle. -> both can be edited / retextured to fit the slots / coins used.

When the desk is opened the three coins will be "used" (deleted).

Name of the desk:

Coin_Desk_Riddle

Name of the coins:

-Riddle_Coin_Oldman -Riddle_Coin_Prisoner -Riddle_Coin_Snake

If you were already using this mod you might need to delete the json file so the addtional content for the coindesk can be created.

Also included is an item called "Riddle_Puzzle_Box". Yet this is for you to discover.
