A research puzzle for TF-Minecraft's scholars and experimenters.
AdvancedResearch turns researching an item into an interactive station activity. Each project has a set of target element values, and the player chooses research notes that raise or lower those values. Completing the balance produces an item from the project's possible discoveries.
Archived repository: this README describes the preserved plugin implementation.
- Research stations — work on an item through a dedicated inventory interface, with one active project per player.
- Element balancing — compare current and required values, then choose notes that move the project toward an exact match.
- Three research choices — each step offers a selection of notes, with new choices generated as research progresses.
- Mental effort — research consumes Mental Points, making a character's remaining focus part of the activity.
- Intelligence influence — smarter characters have a greater chance of receiving helpful notes and avoiding changes to already completed elements.
- Discovery rewards — completed projects yield custom items, with chance-based selection among a project's possible results.
The station displays the project, element progress, and remaining Mental Points together. Players can also scrap a project through a confirmation screen when they decide to abandon an experiment.
