Pockets

In the MT Inventory Weight mod, the pocket system adds extra storage functionality to certain armor pieces. Pockets allow players to carry additional weight, enhancing inventory management while balancing the use of armor for both protection and utility.

How Pockets Work

1. Armor-Based Storage:

   • Armor items in the game can be equipped with pockets. These pockets contribute to the total weight capacity of a player’s inventory.
   • The more pockets an armor piece has, the more weight it can carry.

2. Pocket Assignment:

   • Pockets can be assigned to armor either through default calculations or customized using datapacks.

3. Default Pocket Calculation:

   • If no specific number of pockets is defined for an armor item via a datapack, the mod uses a formula based on the protection value and toughness of the armor:

     Math.max(1, 7 - (int)(protectionValue / 1.2) - toughnessValue);

   • Armor with higher protection and toughness values will generally have fewer pockets by default.

4. Custom Pocket Configuration:

   • You can override the default pocket assignment by defining custom values using datapacks.
   • For details on configuring pockets through datapacks, refer to the Datapacks Guide.

Customizing Pocket Weight

The weight each pocket can hold is determined by the pocket weight value in the mod’s configuration.

• This allows you to set how much additional weight each pocket can carry, fine-tuning the balance between protection and storage.

Pocket Calculation Example

The total weight a player can carry through armor pockets is calculated by multiplying the number of pockets each armor piece has by the pocket weight value. For example:

totalArmorWeight += pockets * POCKET_WEIGHT;

If a player is wearing armor with 3 pockets and the pocket weight is set to 2.0, the total additional weight capacity from that armor would be:

3 pockets * 2.0 = 6.0 additional weight capacity

This gives players an opportunity to balance their protection and storage needs by choosing different armor configurations.
