Smoke & Scent — Dev Update

This update is the largest overhaul since the mod launched. It touches every system and adds 13 new features, bringing the mod from "campfire repels animals" to a full scent simulation with intelligent predator behavior, environmental tracking, protective gear, and complete server-side configuration.

🔧 Server Configuration & Presets

Every feature in the mod now has a corresponding entry in SmokeScentConfig.json, which auto-generates on first launch in your mod config folder. Individual values like cooldown timers, detection ranges, and intensity multipliers can all be tuned per-server.

Quick presets via command:

/smokescent preset vanillaplus   — campfire repel only, everything else off
/smokescent preset immersive     — balanced, conservative ranges
/smokescent preset survival      — default, all features active
/smokescent preset hardcore      — extended trails, longer blood sites, bigger ranges
/smokescent preset off           — all features disabled
/smokescent save                 — write current config to disk

📦 Scent Containment by Container

Predator detection range now scales based on how well the meat is contained. A wolf won't detect a rack of ribs from 40 blocks away if it's sealed in your backpack.

If any exposed slot contains raw meat, the worst case (full range) applies — there's no hiding a carcass in your hand while your bag is clean.

🐾 Scent Trails

Players carrying raw meat, offal, blood, or a carcass now leave a scent trail as they move. Predators passing within range of a trail node may follow it toward the scent source — even after the player has left the area.

• Trail nodes drop every 10 seconds while carrying raw scent items
• Nodes persist for 3 in-game hours by default (configurable)
• Rain washes trails away 4× faster
• Snow preserves trails 2× longer
• Trail range and duration can be tuned in config
  
  

A hunting trip now feels dangerous after the kill, not just during it.

🐺 Predator Filtering & Animal Logic

Every non-player entity is now classified before any scent behavior applies. The old system indiscriminately sent water buffalo and baby deer chasing after meat — that's fixed.

Aquatic creatures and livestock no longer respond to meat at all.

⏱️ Alert Sound Cooldown

Animals can no longer spam their scent-alert behavior every half second. Each entity now has an individual cooldown before it can be alerted again.

• Default cooldown: 8 seconds per animal
• Configurable: AlertCooldownSeconds in config
• Can be disabled entirely if preferred
  
  

🍖 Meat Trap Tiers

Not all raw meat smells equally. Detection range now scales by item type, giving players real decisions about what bait to use and what's dangerous to carry.

All ranges are still modified by wind direction and container type.

💨 Smoke Strength by Fuel Type

Different fuels produce different smoke profiles, creating a real tradeoff between fire efficiency and perimeter defense.

Peat around a base perimeter is now a meaningful survival choice. Charcoal is better for cooking without driving animals away.

🔥 Camp Smoke Exposure Effects

Sustained exposure to firepit smoke now has consequences beyond the existing Bathtime Forked integration.

Stepping away from the fire clears the exposure gradually. Brief exposure (crafting, cooking) remains harmless.

🩸 Blood & Butchering Sites

When a butchering carcass is detected, the kill location is registered as a blood site. Predators will continue investigating the area even after the body is gone or picked up.

• Blood sites last 3 in-game hours by default
• Attract aggressive predators within 30 blocks (wind-affected)
• Sites fade naturally over time
• Rain and weather do not currently affect site decay (planned)
  
  

Field dressing animals now makes the location itself dangerous for hours afterward.

🧪 Foul Fumes — Compost, Rot & Dye Barrels

The mod's name is Smoke & Scent — barrels with foul contents now participate in the scent system.

Toggle with /smokescent compost or /smokescent rot. All values configurable.

🌿 Scent Masking

Players can now actively reduce their scent by carrying specific items in their hotbar. The masking factor applies as a multiplier against the aggro range — not a full disable.

Masking stacks with container reduction. Carrying meat deep in your backpack while holding charcoal powder significantly shrinks your detection footprint.

🥼 Protective Tannery Gear

Wearing the right gear reduces the satiety drain from tannin and dye barrel fumes. Protection uses real native VS clothing items.

Protection values are configurable. The mask and apron stack — wearing both gives the highest combined reduction.

🆕 New Commands

/smokescent compost   — toggle foul fumes (compost/rot/dye)
/smokescent rot       — alias for compost toggle
/smokescent trails    — toggle scent trail system
/smokescent preset <name>   — apply a config preset
/smokescent save      — save current config to SmokeScentConfig.json

All existing commands (repel, meat, tannin, carcass, trap) now also persist their state to config when toggled.

- 1.22.3 Compatibility Update

Smoke & Scent — Dev Update

Bathtime Forked Compatibility

Smoke & Scent now integrates with the Bathtime Forked mod. If Bathtime Forked is installed alongside Smoke & Scent, the following sources will increase your stinkiness level:

Tannin Barrels Standing in the same room as a tannin barrel now does more than drain your satiety — the fumes cling to you. Each tick you're exposed, your stinkiness increases. The satiety drain and stink buildup are tied together, so if the barrel isn't affecting you, neither will the smell.

Carrying Raw Meat Any raw meat, offal, blood, raw fish, or bone marrow in your inventory will make you smell over time. The more you're carrying, the faster the stink builds — a full stack of raw meat accumulates scent significantly faster than a single piece.

Firepit Proximity Spending time near a lit firepit will gradually smoke you out. There's a 30-second grace period before the smell starts building, so briefly tending your fire won't leave you reeking. Sustained exposure (cooking, standing idle near a fire, etc.) will slowly raise your stinkiness. Step away and the exposure resets after a short cooldown.

Notes

• This integration is entirely optional. If Bathtime Forked is not installed, none of these systems activate and there is no performance impact.
• No hard dependency on Bathtime is required — Smoke & Scent detects it at runtime automatically.
• Stinkiness is capped at 100 and subject to Bathtime's normal reduction methods (bathing, etc.).

- Satiety Drain From Tannin Barrels Has Been Limited To The Room The Barrel Is In
- Removed Compounding Satiety Effects When Having Multiple Barrels
