Sidekick

**Sidekick is a complete overhaul of the Creative inventory, and a large collection of useful
superpowers to make creative building a breeze.**

Starting as Not Enough Creativity, my first major 1.16+ mod inspired by Not Enough Items’ Creative+
mode, Sidekick has been entirely rewritten for better mod compatibility, a smoother experience, and
a well-designed protocol intended to be implementable by other mods and even plugins.

The Creative+ inventory uses Survival inventory code rather than Creative, meaning it is mostly
server-side and isn’t prone to the jank and desync that the vanilla Creative inventory has.
Additionally, you get access to the 2×2 crafting grid — useful for dyeing items and the like.

All of the vanilla creative tabs are still available within the Creative+ inventory, but they
are tucked away to a background tab panel for an inventory-focused workflow, and have a fairly
different UX to the vanilla system — intended for quicker access and being slightly better about
large amounts of Creative tabs.

Above the inventory, a collection of toggleable Powers can be found, which are:

• No Item Pickup – Disable pickup of stray items on the ground, to keep your inventory clear.
• Instant Kill – Greatly increase your punch damage to get rid of pesky mobs without carrying a sword around.
• Enable Health – Enable damage and show your health bar. You still can’t die, except by the usual things that kill Creative players.
• No Break Delay – Disable the Creative break delay, to break blocks like a gold pick through netherrack.
• Full Bright – Ignore lighting, making everything appear fully lit. Does not change the fog.
• Phase – Freely pass through blocks like a Spectator.
• Long Reach – Increase your reach from 4-ish blocks to 12 blocks.
• Free Flight – Fly like old Classic mods, rather than the momentum-based vanilla system. Select full-3D or plane-lock in Options.
• Super Speed – Quadruples your flight speed.

Additionally, Sidekick offers a few configurable options that apply globally rather than per-world:

• Plane Lock – Ignore your vertical facing when moving in Free Flight mode, similar to vanilla flight.
• Pick Swap – Items that are displaced by pickblock are put into the extended inventory for later use, rather than deleted.
• Disable Animations – Disable the transitions and animations, for maximum no-nonsense efficiency.
• UI Sounds – Play audible feedback where vanilla doesn’t.
• Creative Tabs – Show the vanilla creative tabs. May be undesirable for an item sidebar workflow.
• Delete Mode – Shift-clicking the Destroy Item button enters Destroy Mode instead of deleting everything. Disable for vanilla behavior.
• Night Owl – Make the Sidekick GUI darker, instead of pure vanilla style.
