Drygmy's and You!

By Orcao

Drop Count#

• Your first entitiy added to a henge provides 1^C additional drop
• Your first 5^C entities added to a henge provide 1 additional drop
• Every unique entity added to a henge adds 2^C additional drops
• A single entity can contribute to multiple of these bonuses

Your first entity in a single entity henge will provide 4 drops
(1 base + 1 for every entity < 5 + 2 for a unique entity)

Loot Table

• Potentially generated items are pooled into one massive list based on the entities in your henge
• Entities with no loot table do not negatively impact the henge’s loot table
• Entities with <100% chance to drop items from their loot table can generate “no loot” pulls into the Loot Table, determined each time the Drygmy’s finish a cycle.
• Specially spawned drops (like Nether Stars) are not added to the loot table
• Putting multiple of one entity can help bias loot generation towards that drop table if you have a large amount of item yielding entities in your henge

Item Generation

• A random item is generated from the full loot table per “additional drop” added.

Experience#

• The sum of all vanilla experience values of all entities in the henge is taken and multiplied by 0.25, as an Integer (25 entities / 0.25 = 6.25 = 6)
• If that reduced sum is not greater than 3, then the henge will skip exp generation
• For every 12 exp in that reduced value, a henge will generate 1 Greater Experience Gem
• For every 3 exp in that reduced sum, after subtracting 12 for every generated Greater Experience Gem, a henge will generate 1 Experience Gem
• If there is a positive leftover value, the henge will generate an additional Experience Gem
• There is no penalty for duplicate entities, nor bonuses for uniques when it comes to exp
• Specially spawned experience (like from the Dragon) is not factored into the experience value
• These in no way take away, or add to, the loot pool of the henge for the purpose of generating items
• The base experience of all entities in a henge must exceed 16 (before the 0.25 multiplication) before you see any experience gems

Henge Progress and Drygmy Quirks#

• A Henge will check to see if its progress maxed out every 100 ticks, any progress generated beyond 20^C in this time is wasted
• A Drygmy will provide progress to a Henge once it finished “Channeling” (dancing) next to an entity
• If a Drygmy recognizes that it has no path to its chosen jar, it will skip the movement part and start dancing immediately
• Drygmy pathing is quite fragile, and they’re not particularly good at realizing that they can’t reach their destination if non-solid blocks (like containment jars) or other entities (like Drygmys) are in the way.
• Drygmys are very good at recognizing that their path is blocked by solid blocks
• A Drygmy takes 100 ticks to dance, then waits 100 ticks before it can dance again
• A Henge needs 20^C “progress” to generate items
• A Henge consumes 10%^C of a source jar every time it generates items
• You need 20^C Drygmy’s to max out a henge’s production speed. In theory twice that many, with half of them desynced by 100 ticks would be better, but you’d need to create and maintain that desynch at all times.
• To further optimize production, make sure your drygmys have no path to their containment jars. Do not trap your drygmys in a 1x1x1 box space. Instead do box in your containment jars, or keep them in a separate room (still in range of the henge) that your drygmys can’t path to.
• The 1x1 stacked ball of 20 drygmys is terrible for tps. Really bad. The test world had a MSPT of 15.1 with a single stacked ball, vs 13.4 with them free ranging. Always free range your drygmys.

Dropless Entities#

• These can be used to generate 2 additional drops from your Henge’s loot table, without diluting the pool
• Axlotl, Wandering Trader, Villagers, The Wither, The Ender Dragon, The Wilden Chimera, Bees, Allays, Bats, and probably many more
• Some mods modify the drop tables of vanilla entities
