Dynamic Lore Generation refers to generating lore with mythic automatically, parsing placeholders and using templates.

Here is an example item using these features. The details to make something like this yourself is explained in the following documentation.

Lore Templates

The base Mythic folder or individual pack folder can contain a lore-templates.yml file where lore templates are defined.

Here is an example of a lore-templates.yml file.

BasicWeaponTest:
     Lines:
     - '<white><lore.stats>'
     - ''
     - '<placeholder.TestLine>'
     - '<gold><placeholder.TestConditionalPlaceholder>'
     - ''
     - '<lore.Description{wrap=10}>'

An item could utilize this template by using Lore.Template: BasicWeaponTest instead of providing a list of lore:

TestLoreTemplates1:
  Id: BLAZE_ROD
  Display: 'Test'
  Lore:
    Template: BasicWeaponTest
    Description: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet
  Stats:
  - CRITICAL_STRIKE_CHANCE 0.5 ADDITIVE
  - CRITICAL_STRIKE_DAMAGE 2.0 ADDITIVE
  - HEALTH 20to30 ADDITIVE

Note that Description is used as a placeholder in the BasicWeaponTest's <lore.Description{wrap=10}> placeholder. You can define arbitrary lore placeholders and use them the same way as this.

Lore Placeholders

The <placeholder.*> placeholders in the above example are referencing the examples provided from the new placeholders.yml, which can also be used:

TestPlaceholder: '&6TeSt PlAceHolDer'
TestConditionalPlaceholder:
  Day:
    Conditions:
    - day
    Value: "it is day"
  Night:
    Conditions:
    - night
    Value: "it is night"
  Default: "it is nothing apparently"
TestRandomPlaceholder:
- red
- green
- blue

Other Information about Lore Templates

• Every node under Lore other than Template will be passed to the template as a <lore.*> placeholder (where * is the node you specify). Example:

  Lore:
    Template: BasicWeaponTest
    Rarity: "<gray>Common"

# <lore.Rarity> would return Common in this case

• Templates can use any other applicable placeholders supported by drop tables.

• A line with <lore.stats> will be iterated and replicated for each stat using the tooltip formats configured in stats.yml.

• More features for this are planned as well.

Lore Attributes

Attributes are formatted similarly to how skills are. In our previous example, wrap is considered an Attribute.

<lore.node{attribute=value}>
