Bee Family

A bee family consists of four key pieces of information necessary for breeding a bee:

• The first parent required

• The second parent required

• The weighting of how likely the child is to be selected among potential candidates

• The chance the child is created if selected

Template:

"resourcefulbees:breeding/v1": {
  "parents": [
    {
      "parent1": "diamond",
      "parent2": "coal",
      "weight": 75.0,
      "chance": 0.67
    }
  ]
}

weight

For all possible children these two parents can create how likely is it this one will be picked? Weight affects the result distribution among potential outcomes.

Calculating Weight Distributions:

A pair of parents has five different child options.

The weights are as follows:

Child 1: 20
Child 2: 10
Child 3: 30
Child 4: 60    
Child 5: 80

The chances each child has of being selected are as follows:

Child 1: 10%
Child 2: 5%
Child 3: 15%
Child 4: 30%
Child 5: 40%

To calculate the chance:

1. Add up all the weights

2. Divide the weight you wish to check by the total in step 1

Name: Weight

Key: weight

Type: Double

Range: ≥0.0

Default: 10

Example

"resourcefulbees:breeding/v1": {
  "parents": [
    {
      "parent1": "diamond",
      "parent2": "coal",
      "weight": 75.0
    }
  ]
}

chance

Once this child has been chosen as the result type, what is the chance that it will be created?

Note: The value has a range of 0.0 - 1.0.

A value of 0.5 = a 50% chance of the child being created.

Name: Chance

Key: chance

Type: Double

Range: 0.0 - 1.0

Default: 1

Example

"resourcefulbees:breeding/v1": {
  "parents": [
    {
      "parent1": "diamond",
      "parent2": "coal",
      "chance": 0.67
    }
  ]
}

parent1

The ID of the first parent.

If not provided family will be ignored!

---

Name: Parent 1

Key: parent1

Type: String

Default: 1

Required: If not provided family will be ignored.

      "parent2": "coal"
    }
  ]
}

parent2

The ID of the second parent.

If not provided family will be ignored!

---

Name: Parent 2

Key: parent2

Type: String

Default: 1

Required: If not provided family will be ignored.
