Jars

Current to Version: 1.2.0

Jars

Jars are a special container item added by Unicopia. Each jar can only hold one item at a time. Whilst that might initially seem not very useful, what makes the jars special is that they also function as a projectile.

If you throw a jar it will break against the ground or any entity it hits, releasing the item contained within. If the item happens to be a tool or weapon that deals damage or knockback, the jar will use that weapon to deal a proportionate amount of damage to the entity it hits.

For example, you can hit a zombie with a sword from a long distance by putting the sword into a jar and throwing it at them. The only downside is it's a single-use item and sometimes getting the sword back may be a little bit tricky.

Obtaining

There are two ways to find jars in your world:

1. Trading

   If you find a wandering villager they may be selling some jars with items already inside of them. Any filled jars you buy or have can be turned into an empty jar by putting them in a crafting grid and removing the item.

2. Crafting

   You can craft an empty jar from 7 pieces of glass (in the shape of a jar) and 1 block of planks (to act as the stopper)

Rain/Storm cloud Jars

Rain and Storm cloud jars are special jars that only the Pegasus, and players with alicorn abilities, can obtain.

Obtaining

To get either of these jars, a pegasus has to be holding an empty jar when flying outside. If they reach a certain altitude they will be able to use their capture storm ability to trap the weather effects inside the jar.

If the weather outside is normal rain, they will get a raincloud in a jar, but if it's thundering and a lightning storm is outside, they will instead get a storm in a jar. After collecting the storm, the weather will change to clear temporarily until it is next time for the weather to change.

Breaking the jar by throwing it will immediately release the cloud, returning the weather to its previous state from before creating the jar. These two combined effectively allows pegasi to control the weather and make it clear or rain whenever they need.

Lightning Jars

Lightning Jars are a very close relative to the rain and storm cloud jars. They're the pegasi's answer to the Earth Ponies' Zap Apple Jam Jars and when broken, rather than releasing a cloud, will instead produce a powerful lightning strike as the bolt escapes its glass prison.

Obtaining

Obtaining lightning jars is not restricted exclusively to pegasi. To create one, all you need is to drop an empty jar outside during a lightning storm and wait. Eventually lightning will strike one of them, converting the item into a lightning jar.

Zap Apple Jam Jars

The earth ponies saw lightning jars and said "hold my apples". These jars are the product of an earth pony cramming all of their zap apples into a jar until it turned into jam. Throwing a zap apple jam jar has the exact same effect as throwing a lightning jar, but it's pretty wasteful all things considered if you take into account you could just as well be eating the jam on toast instead.
