======== Features ======== Bravo's extensible design means that there are many different plugins and features. Since most servers do not have an extensive or exhaustive list of the various plugins that they include, one is provided here for Bravo. Standard features ================= These features are found in official, Mojang-sponsored, unmodified servers. Console ------- Bravo provides a small, plain console suitable for piping input and output, as well as interactive sessions. Login ----- Bravo supports the two login methods supported by the Mojang-sponsored client: offline authentication and online authentication. Geometry -------- Bravo understands how to manipulate and transfer geometry. In addition, Bravo can read and write the Alpha NBT and Beta MCR disk formats. Time ---- Bravo fully implements the in-game day and night. Bravo's days are exactly 20 minutes long. Entities -------- Bravo understands the concept of entities, and is able to track the following kinds of entities: * Mobs * Paintings * Pickups * Players * Tiles Mobs ^^^^ Bravo understands the following mobs: * Chickens/ducks ("Chucks") * Cows * Creepers * Ghasts * Giant zombies * Pigs * Sheep * Skeletons * Slimes * Spiders * Squids * Wolves * Zombie pigmen * Zombies Tiles ^^^^^ Bravo understands the following tiles: * Chests * Furnaces * Mob spawners * Music blocks * Signs Inventory --------- Bravo provides server-side inventory handling. Physics ------- Bravo simulates physics, including the behaviors of sand, gravel, water and lava, and redstone. Extended features ================= Bravo provides many things not in other servers. While a strict comparison of other open-source servers is impossible due to the speedy rate at which they are changing, the features that separate Bravo from the Mojang-sponsored server are listed here. Console ------- Bravo ships with a fancy console which supports readline-like editing features. Time ---- Bravo implements an in-game year of 360 in-game days. Plugins ------- Bravo supports several different types of plugins. For more information, see :ref:`Plugins`.
