Examples#

A one-in-five chance:

{
  "type": "apoli:random_chance",
  "chance": 0.2
}

Used as a power’s condition, this re-rolls every time the condition is checked — which for a ticking power is many times a second, and almost never what you want:

{
  "type": "apoli:action_over_time",
  "interval": 100,
  "entity_action": { "type": "apoli:apply_effect", "effect": { "effect": "minecraft:nausea", "duration": 100 } },
  "condition": { "type": "apoli:random_chance", "chance": 0.25 }
}

Here the long interval is what makes it sane: the condition is only consulted every five seconds, so it is a one-in-four chance every five seconds rather than a coin flip per tick.

If you want to roll once and act, use the meta action instead — it is almost always the right one. Reach for the condition only when the thing being gated is itself evaluated on a slow, deliberate schedule.
