Hiya,

I'm looking at creating a 1.12.2 mod-pack for a charity stream, it would be building in a desolated desert world (hopefully)...

 

I would like to create a small mod that allows the user to shift right-click a designated block and have it give an item, in this instance it would be shift right-clicking sand and giving Ex Nihilo stones. This is similar to shift-right clicking dirt/grass in Botania mod which gives pebbles.

 

Is there a simple way to do this? does it even need a full mod?

 

Thanks in advance and sorry if this is in the wrong place...

 

 

It's very doable with a "full" (but fairly simple) mod.  If there is an existing mod out there which can already do this using a config or scripts, I don't know about it.

The way to do it is to subscribe to PlayerInteractEvent.RightClickBlock, then filter for your wanted block type(s) and have it create and drop the items in-world (or give them directly to the player).

Can also destroy the block from there if you want.

 

Btw, was this a mod request, or just a request for info so *you* can make the mod?

Thank you for replying, honestly I have never made a mod so I don't know how to go about it... so further research will be needed for me to make a mod,,,

if it was an easy/quick project for someone who knows how to make mods for minecraft 1.12.2 then it would save me a lot of time

It should be a quick and easy project for someone who already has a mod environment set up.  I'll start work on it today.

 

Edit: Scratch that, someone already made it: https://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/scavenge?gameCategorySlug=mc-mods&projectID=282988

 

It looks like that mod should be able to do what you want.  It has a bunch of addon mods too, though I didn't look through them.

Thanks Laike_Endaril I've had a brief look and sounds perfect, thanks for your help ?
