Effects API

[paulevsGitch]

An API for creating effects that works for all entities (including not-living ones like items and minecarts).

Effect can stay for specified amount of ticks or it can last infinity:

public TestPlayerInfEffect(Identifier id, PlayerEntity entity) {
    super(id, entity);
    ticks = INFINITY_TICKS;
}

Effects applied to the player will be visible in the top left corner:

In player inventory effects will display their name and description (compatible with HMI):

Effect names have support for minecraft color codes:

Effects have onStart, process, onEnd methods for large behaviour customisation, same as writeCustomData and readCustomData for storing custom values

To register effects you need to listen a specific event (common side):

@EventListener
public void registerEffects(EffectRegistryEvent event) {
    // Effect ID (Identifier), Effect class
    EffectRegistry.register(SLTest.NAMESPACE.id("test_effect"), TestPlayerEffect.class);
}

You can set affect on entity like this: player.addEffect(effectID); where effectID is Identifier. There are also other helper functions that you can directly call from entity to operate with effects. Effects works on both client and server.

Change the base to 2.0-alpha.3 branch. Master is for minor updates only.

Done

Unfucked your branch for you.

No, don't merge your old changes. Reset to my changes.

Personally I think that the effect texture should match the modern effect texture, it sticks out too much looking so different from other minecraft gui stuff ^ this being the modern looking one that i made with a screenshot of modern mc effects and the texture file from this fork. I think this is the texture that should be used.

Additionally it would be nice if consistently the effect is consistent e.g.

+-----------------------------------+
|                     effect name   |
|  icon                             |
|            duration  (light grey) |
+-----------------------------------+

Similar to modern

Current effect frame texture is very simple, but like any other texture it can be altered with texturepack. I'm not sure about official modern texture, current one looks fine

There is an infinity effect in example above

I'd possibly say just use the achievement toast background directly for this. Saves adding a StAPI-specific texture.
