Q&A

What is this?
It's a bike.

Why does it go in the inventory booster slot?
It's too large to fit into your inventory.

Can you place it?
Yes! It's ground-storable!

How fast is it?
It will add 100% to your player speed.

How do I use the bike?
Hold control to select it in your hotbar.

The model sucks.
I agree, make a better one please.

Couldn't you technically add inventory slots to the bike?
Actually, yes! I wanted to add slots but didn't feel like modelling a basket on it.

If the bike had inventory slots would it keep them when ground-placed?
Yeah it would, in fact, all inventory boosters can be ground-placed!

Can you fly with it?
Only if you take E.T. with you.

But bikes weren't invented unti-
There were bikes in the stone age.

What..? No, the first bike was-
Would Hannah Barbera lie? Flintstones. Look it up.

What's the crafting recipe?
Just four copper ingots in a half-life logo.

Why is it so cheap to craft?
Do you want it to be expensive??

Seperate tiers of bike?
Maybe later?? :D

Nobody asked these questions, did they?
No, nobody ever does. That's the secret.

Can you do wheelies?
Wheelies haven't been invented yet.

How about adding a light to it?
That's a cool idea. Might add that in the next update.

Could you add a motorcycle?
Maybe, but it would cost some sort of fuel.

What's this new Deluxe bike?
It's like a regular bike it's twice as fast.

Why is it clockmaker exclusive?!
They're the only ones to think of using a drive chain

Okay what about other classes or what if I can't get steel?
You can buy a gold bike from Luxuries traders for 50 gears.

That's REALLY expensive!
And to think, it's selling for a loss.

Is it any better than the Deluxe bike?
Not at all, but it does make for a pretty nice flex.

These are just recolored normal bikes.
I know :(

Why don't the better bikes have inventories?
Because of a glitch that allows empty bikes to go in inventories.

Could I add my own bike?/I don't like the values. Please add a config :(
You can make any block/item a bike with the "biketopspeed" attribute in JSON.

Hydromancerx Maybe later. My passion comes and goes and it goes faster than it comes.

💬 Hydromancerx, Mar 15th at 6:32 PM

Cool mod! Please add the stuff you are planning!

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Jan 27th at 1:17 PM

Rework in process: Bike will be upgraded to Better Bike, and you will be able to properly ride them as a vehicle.

WASD to move. You move twice as fast forward as you do reverse, and your steering gets tighter the faster you go.
Space to jump, this has a cooldown. While midair you get the ability to move your handlebars freely allowing for hairpin turns.
Sprint to wheelie: This will make you go faster but jump half a block instead of a full block. You also lose the ability to steer.
Riding Music: Going on a bike plays a medievalized cover of the Pokemon bike theme. I checked, it's legal.
TO BE ADDED
Hunger Drain: Speeding up and jumping should cost hunger points.
Drifting: If you land from a jump with your handlebars at an angle, you will enter a drift.
Mini Turbo: Hold a drift for a certain amount of time and when you let go you get a speed bonus.
Bunny Hop: You jump with no cooldown if you stay put while in a wheelie. This has no purpose but it lets you spin quite fast.
Face Planter: Colliding with an enemy or rock will deal damage to the bike, the enemy, and will launch you off the bike.
Advanced Bikes: Better controls, and faster. Crafting exclusive to the clockmaker, but can be purcased from a trader.
Mach Bike: Very fast and weak drift but poor steering and a bad jump. Not ideal for exploring but great for flat terrain.
Mountain Bike: Relatively slow but amazing jump and handling with sharp drifting.
Extra-Terrestrial Bike: A friendly drifter in your bike basket allows you to fly. [Creative only]

Needs Falx Blades on the wheels, like an ancient chariot, to insta-kill mobs and auto-slice 'em up for their loot on the way past... I'd ride THAT for a dollar! LOL

Ran a server with about nine other folks with this mod. After coming to grips with it, I cannot fathom playing the game ever again without this robust tool in hand. 10/10 would bike again.

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Nov 5th 2022 at 4:58 AM

Well I didn't end up doing that. What I did end up doing was defining bike bonuses in JSON.
Now instead of relying on a hard-coded method, it just checks for the existance of the "biketopspeed" attribute tag.
This also means that non-coders can adjust the balance of the existing bikes or add their own simply through a single JSON tag.

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Nov 5th 2022 at 2:29 AM

Considering nerfing the bike to slow you down (by 20%) while worn but not selected, and only apply the full speed bonus while you are being boosted by a path.
You would only get a small speed increase (10% and 20%) while riding on non-path/paver surfaces. Still faster than running but not just a free massive speed bonus.

The current implimentation makes exploring new areas too easy and the speed bonus is a bit too high in hilly terrain where it's more annoying to deal with speed.

This mod is actually *why* I made lantern. The tiny light range made it hard to travel at any reasonable speed without bumping into things.
My design philosophy is to act boldly and cause problems, and then come up with creative solution to those problems. It leads to the most interesting development.

💬 l33tmaan, Oct 11th 2022 at 5:12 AM

OMG, now I CAN add lantern to bike?

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Oct 11th 2022 at 4:08 AM

Luxury/Deluxe bikes will now produce light at range if lantern is installed.

Sabanur
I know

💬 Sabanur, Oct 1st 2022 at 1:36 PM

sry man but that's most useless mod ever... it looks like.... hell =(

💬 chippit, Oct 1st 2022 at 5:21 AM

Finally, something to spend all my worthless gears on other than filling my stone huts with chandeliers. 

 

Seriously tho, great mod.

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Oct 1st 2022 at 3:42 AM

I find that jumping is a little too powerful and going up blocks is annoying.
If I ever decide to redo this I would give bikes auto-step and disable/nerf jumping.
Would also give it some time to get on/get off so you can't use it to chase down animals.

💬 YourCreator, Sep 28th 2022 at 12:43 PM

fcking crazy man!

💬 OmegaHaxorsAuthor, Sep 28th 2022 at 8:31 AM

new update adds two new bikes.

Deluxe Bike: It contains a light and goes really fast. Made of steel and can only be made by the Clockmaker.
Luxury Bike: Gaudy and tasteless. It's a deluxe bike which you can buy from a Luxuries trader for 50 gears.

💬 MrBadWithNames, Sep 27th 2022 at 1:53 PM

Weird mechanics but props for putting this together!

Also like the other guy in the comments said, 10/10 for description!

💬 Zinc, Sep 27th 2022 at 10:43 AM

10 out of 10 just for the description! lol
