Immersive Interactions

IMMERSIVE INTERACTIONS

Ever asked yourself why logs can only be stripped in-world but mossy blocks have to be crafted? Or why brick blocks cannot be cracked with a pickaxe? You’ve certainly tried doing it, right? There is no shame in it though, because this should be a Vanilla feature.

But worry not! Because this mod adds exactly that with mod compatibility in mind!

Immersive Interactions adds five new items: Copper Patina, Moss Clumps, Bark, the Waxed Brush and the Chisel. These Items can be used in-world to change specific blocks from one block to another, completely data-driven/dynamic. Its compatible with mods as well!

The mod also makes blocks drop their non-mossy/cracked/chiselled/aged versions, reducing block bloat in your inventory, as well as outright disabling the blocks. (This feature makes ANY previously obtained waxed and aged copper blocks, as well as chiseled, mossy, cracked blocks unuseable. Please back up your world/de-age/place them before using this mod on existing worlds.)

How to use:

Out of the box Immersive Interactions can only change vanilla blocks to vanilla blocks, but can easily be configured for other mods. Simply add the desired (for example) Brick block to immersive_interactions:mossable_blocks if it has a mossy variant and should be mossable. Important is to add the mossy variant of said brick to the immersive_interactions:mossy_blocks tag.

Every feature is configured this way: through tags, so be sure to add all changeable blocks to the corresponding block tags. Even the items (except Patina) are determined through item tags.

Features:

• Apply & shear Moss from Blocks
• Crack & repair Blocks
• Chisel blocks
• Scrape and apply Patina
• Wax Blocks and Signs with the Waxed Brush
• Strip and re-bark wooden Blocks with Bark
• Interact with Minecarts and Boats to convert them to different types
• In-World block dyeing
• Tooltips for ease of use!

Coming Soon/Planned

• In-World Block dyeing ✅
• Automatic Recipe removals ✅
• Automatic Loot Table modifications ✅
• EMI Integration
• Particle Events for each interaction type
• Config to disable/enable Features

Incompatibilities

Please report any incompatibilities on my Github!

Currrently known:

• Friends and Foes Lightning Rods
• as of the latest version of Clutter No More, CNM Copper blocks are not oxidizable/waxable and thus cannot be interacted with with Patina, Wax, Waxed Brush, etc. resolved in CNM Version 1.1.4

Thanks & Inspiration

Thank you to all the lovely people who’ve helped me make this first mod of mine!
Some of this mods’ features were inspired by Immersive Weathering (notably cracking and mossing! I kinda forgot IW adds re-barking as well but I was probably subcounsciously influenced lol) and a few conversations between me and Murao!
