Matt b4cd66036b econ: tier system foundation (00_tier_system.js)
KubeJS module that owns the 13-tier civic ladder per economy doc §4a.
Authoritative source for TIER_CONFIG (per-tier perks: cost, wilderness
chunks, plot slots, daily bounty slots, shop fee discount, chat
colour, join broadcast).

Player tier stored as int in player.persistentData.bnsTier; default
1 (Peasant), set on first login.

Admin commands (op level 2):
  /bns admin tier get <player>
  /bns admin tier set <player> <1-13>
  /bns admin tier list

Module-local pattern (KubeJS Rhino runs scripts in strict mode -- no
globalThis, no bare-assignment globals). Other economy scripts will
duplicate TIER_CONFIG and use player.persistentData.bnsTier directly
to read tier rather than trying to import. See feedback-kubejs-rhino-
gotchas memory.

FTB Ranks will mirror this once the bnstoolkit mod ships -- ranks
will carry the FTB Chunks permission nodes. For now the NBT is the
single source of truth and admin promotes manually with /bns admin
tier set.

Verified: server boots clean, KubeJS loads with 0 errors. First-join
hook initialises new players to tier 1.

Brass & Sigil KubeJS scripts

All custom server behaviour lives here. Files in this tree ship via the modpack manifest (see scripts/Build-Pack.ps1kubejs/ is in managedRoots), get synced to both server and client installs, and are loaded by KubeJS on startup.

Conventions

  • Logging prefix: every console line uses [bns/<module>] so server logs can be filtered with journalctl -u brass-sigil-server.service | grep '\[bns/'. Keeps our output separate from mod output.
  • One concern per file. Recipe overhauls live in recipes_<modname>. Block/item policy goes in a <thing>_policy.js. Don't mix recipe removal with event listeners in the same file.
  • Persistent player data keys are prefixed bns to avoid clashing with other mods' use of player.persistentData. Currently used keys:
    • bnsWaystoneCount (int) — see waystones_policy.js
    • bnsWelcomeGranted (bool) — see welcome.js
  • Performance: hot-path event handlers (BlockEvents.placed/broken, PlayerEvents.loggedIn) must stay O(1). Use Set for ID lookups, never Array.includes inside an event handler. Avoid Modrinth/network calls in event handlers — never. No periodic-tick polling unless absolutely necessary.
  • Server commands are registered under the /bns namespace (/bns admin ..., future: /bns plot ...). See bns_admin.js for the registration pattern.

Diagnostics

When something looks wrong in-game, first port of call:

  1. /bns admin info — prints active flags + counts for the running player
  2. /bns admin waystone-count <player> — read stored count
  3. /bns admin reset-welcome <player> — re-trigger the first-join grant
  4. Server log: journalctl -u brass-sigil-server.service -f | grep '\[bns/'
