Intent

Context-Aware Keybinds for Minecraft

Intent transforms your keybinds into intelligent, context-aware actions. Instead of remembering dozens of keys for different mods, you can assign multiple functions to a single key, triggered automatically by specific conditions like your health, equipment, or movement state.

Features

• Contextual Bindings: Bind a single physical key (e.g., R) to perform different actions based on the situation.
  • Example: R throws an Ender Pearl if holding one, but opens your Inventory if your hand is empty.
• Radial Menu System: If multiple actions are valid for a key press, holding the key opens a Radial Menu to select the desired action. Tapping the key triggers the highest priority action immediately.
• In-Game Editor: No need to edit JSON files manually. Press I (default) to open the Intent Editor to configure your rules visually.
• Default Condition Library:
  • Player State: Sneaking, Sprinting, Airborne, Riding.
  • Inventory: Holding specific Items or Item Tags.
  • World: Looking at specific Blocks or Entities.
  • Stats: Health or Item Durability thresholds (e.g., "Eat food when health < 50%").
  • Combat: Detect if you are currently in combat.
  • GUI: Detect if a specific screen (like an Inventory) is open.

How to Use

The Editor

Press I to open the Intent Editor.

1. Select a Key: Choose a physical key (e.g., Key R) on the left.
2. Add Rules: Add "Intent Entries" to the stack.
3. Define Contexts: For each entry, define When it should trigger (e.g., is_sneaking).
4. Set Priority: Rules are checked from top to bottom. Use the Up/Down arrows to prioritize specific actions.

Virtualization

Intent allows you to "Virtualize" a keybinding. This unbinds the action from the vanilla controls options so it doesn’t conflict with your custom Intent rules.

Developer API

Intent exports a dedicated API jar, allowing other mods to add custom Context Types (conditions) and Editors.

Usage (Gradle)

Intent is available via JitPack. Add the following to your build.gradle:

repositories {
    maven { url '[https://jitpack.io](https://jitpack.io)' }
}

dependencies {
    // Compile against the API (Recommended)
    implementation "com.github.kjmaster1:Intent:v1.0.0:api"

    // Or include the full mod for runtime testing
    // implementation "com.github.kjmaster1:Intent:v1.0.0"
}

Registering a Custom Context

To add a new condition (e.g., checking if it’s raining), implement IIntentContext and register a ContextType.

1. Create the Context:

   public record RainingContext() implements IIntentContext {
       public static final MapCodec<RainingContext> CODEC = MapCodec.unit(new RainingContext());
   
       @Override
       public boolean test(LocalPlayer player) {
           return player.level().isRaining();
       }
   
       @Override
       public ContextType<?> getType() {
           return MyRegistries.IS_RAINING.get();
       }
   }
   

2. Register the Type:
   Use IntentAPI.CONTEXT_TYPE_REGISTRY_KEY to register your type to the Intent registry.

   public static final DeferredRegister<IIntentContext.ContextType<?>> CONTEXT_TYPES =
           DeferredRegister.create(IntentAPI.CONTEXT_TYPE_REGISTRY_KEY, "my_mod_id");
   
   public static final DeferredHolder<IIntentContext.ContextType<?>, IIntentContext.ContextType<RainingContext>> IS_RAINING =
           CONTEXT_TYPES.register("is_raining", () -> () -> RainingContext.CODEC);
   

Adding a GUI Editor

To make your custom context editable in the Intent GUI, register an IContextEditor.

// In your Client Setup
ContextEditorRegistry.register(MyRegistries.IS_RAINING.get(), () -> new SimpleStateEditor<>(RainingContext::new));
