Shiny! in All the Mods 10

Shiny! is part of the pack, and this version ships Shiny! 1.21.1-1.3.0. It has been in the pack since All the Mods 10 4.5 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified What Shiny! actually adds or changes in this pack could not be confirmed from the available sources, so this guide doesn't describe its features.

Don't mix it up with the Shiny Scales quest

The quest book has a quest called "Shiny Scales" ("Shiny Scales" quest), and the name can look like it belongs to this mod. Its task item is Shiny Scales, which uses the iceandfire namespace, not the shiny one. So it is an Ice and Fire quest.^[2]

That quest sits in the "Ice and Fire" chapter, in the "Exploration" group. It is chapter 64 of 66 in the book, and the chapter has 86 quests. Inside it, "Shiny Scales" quest comes after the Sirens quest, and "Siren Flute" quest (Siren Flute) comes after it. The quest says Shiny Scales are used to craft Tide Guardian Armor, Siren Flutes and Water Breathing Potions.^[2]

The rest of that chapter's quests are in the quest book itself, so check there for anything beyond what is covered here.^[2]

Good news: there is nothing to craft to get started with Shiny! in this pack. The sources I have show no recipes that produce this mod's items, so there is no first tool or block to make, and no recipe block for this section.^[3]

What the mod's own language file does show is that it adds mobs. Each one is named "Shiny" followed by the mob, such as Shiny Chicken, Shiny Creeper, Shiny Villager, Shiny Enderman and Shiny Ender Dragon. There is also one with its own name, The Shiny Killer Bunny. So the first step is simply to explore and keep your eyes open, and be careful around the ones that look like dangerous mobs.^[3]

Unverified How Shiny! mobs appear in the world, how often they spawn, what they drop, and whether this pack changes any of that, is not confirmed by the sources available for this guide. No config files for this mod were found in the pack.

The sources here show no machines, multiblocks, power or fluid handling for Shiny!, so there is nothing to automate in the usual modded sense. What the mod does show is shiny versions of mobs with their own names and their own loot tables. That is what this section covers.^[3][4]

Shiny mobs

Every shiny mob is its own entity in the shiny namespace, named "Shiny" plus the mob's name. The list covers a lot of vanilla mobs, from the Shiny Allay and Shiny Creeper up to the Shiny Ender Dragon, Shiny Warden and Shiny Wither. There is also one oddball, The Shiny Killer Bunny. Shiny Villagers get a name for each profession, and shiny tropical fish have their own names for each predefined pattern and fish type.^[3]

There are also buckets for catching shiny aquatic mobs: Bucket of Shiny Axolotl, Cod, Pufferfish, Salmon and Tropical Fish.^[3]

Spawn chance

The mod ships a data map called spawn_chance_map. The only entry in it is the ender dragon, with a spawnChance of 0.05. The sources do not show how the roll is made for other mobs, so don't rely on any other number.^[5]

Unverified How the spawn chance is applied to mobs other than the ender dragon, and what the default chance is, can't be confirmed from the available files.

Shiny loot tables

Each shiny mob has its own entity loot table. Many use a random count range and a Looting bonus, and a few add extras. Here are the ones I could read in full:^{[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]}

• Shiny Blaze: none or one Blaze Rod, only when a player kills it, with a Looting bonus.^[6]
• Shiny Cat: String in a small random amount, with no Looting bonus.^[7]
• Shiny Cave Spider: String in a random amount, plus a player-kill-only Spider Eye roll that ranges from minus one to one. Looting applies to both.^[8]
• Shiny Chicken: Feather in a random amount, and Chicken, which comes out cooked if the mob is on fire.^[9]
• Shiny Cod: Cod, cooked if it is on fire, plus a 0.05 chance of Bone Meal.^[10]
• Shiny Cow: Leather and Beef, each in a random amount, with the beef cooked if the cow is on fire.^[11]
• Shiny Creeper: Gunpowder in a random amount. It can also drop a music disc from the creeper_drop_music_discs tag when the killer is a skeleton.^[12]
• Shiny Dolphin: none or one Cod, cooked if it is on fire.^[13]
• Shiny Donkey: Leather in a random amount, with a Looting bonus.^[14]
• Shiny Drowned: Rotten Flesh in a random amount, plus a player-kill-only Copper Ingot at a 0.11 base chance. Looting adds 0.02 per level.^[15]
• Shiny Enderman: none or one Ender Pearl, with a Looting bonus.^[16]
• Shiny Evoker: always drops a Totem Of Undying, plus none or one Emerald when a player kills it.^[17]

Mobs with no drops defined

Some shiny loot tables declare only their type and no pools at all. That is the case for the Shiny Armor Stand, Axolotl, Bat, Bee, Ender Dragon, Endermite, Fox, Giant, Goat, Illusioner, Ocelot and Piglin Brute. In the files I could read, these do not define any drops of their own.^{[4][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]}

Unverified About 35 other shiny loot tables (Elder Guardian, Ghast, Glow Squid, Guardian, Hoglin, Horse, Husk, Iron Golem and more) were too long to read here, so their drops can't be confirmed.

Here's the honest picture, since I'd rather not invent a tier ladder for you. For Shiny! in this pack, the material I have shows no crafting tiers and no quest-by-quest path to follow. What it does show is a set of entity loot tables in the mod's own data files.^[4][6]

What the loot tables show

Some of the shiny mob loot tables are completely empty. The shiny armor stand, axolotl, bat, bee, ender dragon, endermite and fox tables only declare an entity loot table and define no drops at all.^{[4][18][19][20][21][22][23]}

Others work like a copy of the normal mob drops. The shiny blaze can drop Blaze Rod, boosted by Looting, and only when a player kills it. The shiny chicken drops Feather and a chicken drop that comes out cooked if the mob was on fire.^[6][9]

• The shiny cat can drop String.^[7]
• The shiny cave spider drops string, plus a spider eye only when a player kills it.^[8]
• The shiny cod drops cod, cooked if it was burning, and has a 0.05 chance of Bone Meal.^[10]
• The shiny creeper drops Gunpowder, plus music discs when a skeleton is the killer.^[12]

If you want to follow the Ice and Fire side of things, the "Shiny Scales" quest quest comes after "Sirens" quest, and "Siren Flute" quest follows both of them. That chapter sits in the Exploration group of the quest book.^[2]

Unverified I can't confirm any progression tiers, crafting recipes or quest steps for Shiny! itself in this pack. Most of its shiny mob loot tables weren't available to check, so treat anything beyond the examples above as unconfirmed.

The quest source I have for this pack is the "Ice and Fire" chapter (group "Exploration", chapter 64 of 66 in the book). None of its quest tasks use an item from this mod's shiny namespace, so I can't point you to a quest here that asks for something from this mod.^[2]

The name is easy to mix up, though. The quest "Shiny Scales" quest asks for Shiny Scales, which is an Ice and Fire item, not an item from this mod's namespace.^[2]

How the Shiny Scales quests are ordered

• "Sirens" quest comes after "The Other Soul Sand Valley" quest. It covers Sirens, which spawn in groups on Siren Islands.^[2]
• "Shiny Scales" quest comes after "Sirens" quest. It says Sirens drop Prismarine Shards, Crystals and Shiny Scales on death, and that the scales are used to craft Tide Guardian Armor, Siren Flutes and Water Breathing Potions.^[2]
• "Siren Flute" quest comes after both "Shiny Scales" quest and "Sirens" quest. It asks for the Siren Flute, which needs the scales plus a Siren Tear.^[2]
• "Tide Guardian Armor" quest comes after "Sea Serpent Scales and Fangs" quest. Its text says the armor is made from Shiny Scales and Sea Serpent Scales.^[2]
• "Hippocampus" quest comes after "We haven't moved yet!" quest. It says the Hippocampus drops Shiny Scales on death.^[2]

Shiny! has been in the pack since early on, and it has only had version bumps in the pack changelogs. All the Mods 10 8.2 ships Shiny! 1.21.1-1.3.0.^[1][29][30]

• All the Mods 10 4.5: Shiny! was added to the pack at version 1.21.1-1.2.1.^[1][30]
• All the Mods 10 4.6: updated from 1.21.1-1.2.1 to 1.21.1-1.2.4.^[31]
• All the Mods 10 4.15: updated from 1.21.1-1.2.4 to 1.21.1-1.2.5.^[32]
• All the Mods 10 7.1: updated from 1.21.1-1.2.5 to 1.21.1-1.3.0, which is still the version in 8.2.^[1][29]

Unverified What actually changed inside Shiny! between these versions is unverified. The pack changelogs only list the version numbers, and there are no stored changelogs for the shipped jars.
