Schedules

A schedule tells Xoonglins what to do at each time of the day. It can be set on a social class, and a job can set its own, which replaces the class one for the Xoonglins with that job (e.g. guards working the night shift). Xoonglins without a schedule keep the default behavior: they work from sunrise until their daily hours are done, and are idle the rest of the time.

Sample schedule

{"schedule": [
  { "at": 6, "activity": "minecraft:work" },
  { "at": 16, "activity": "minecraft:idle" },
  { "at": 21, "activity": "minecraft:rest" }
]}

The schedule is a list of transitions: at each one, the Xoonglin switches to a new activity, which lasts until the next transition. The last transition of the day lasts until the first one of the next day, so above, rest goes from 21:00 to 6:00.

• at: Clock hour of the transition, from 0 to 24, where 6 is sunrise (the start of the Minecraft day) and 18 is sunset. Decimals are allowed (e.g. 6.5 is 6:30).
• activity: A vanilla activity ID. Xoonglins understand these:
  • minecraft:work: the Xoonglin's job runs and counts towards its daily hours. The work time must add up to at least the job's hours_per_day, or the daily quota can never be met.
  • minecraft:rest: the Xoonglin goes back home and stays inside. If it has a Sleep Need that needs satisfying, it sleeps in a free bed of its home. Attending a ritual still interrupts rest.
  • Any other activity, such as minecraft:idle, is free time: no job, the Xoonglin strolls around, tends to its needs and can mate.

Schedules are ignored in dimensions without a day cycle, such as the Nether.
