Minecraft mod. Dimension-based creative flight blocker.

Broken Wings

Broken Wings is a creative flight blocker. It works per-dimension.

The default settings block flight in dimension 7, the Twilight Forest. It can be configured as a whitelist or a blacklist for dimensions to allow flight in, or to blanket-ban all creative flight in all dimensions. You can also choose to block elytra flight.

This work is dedicated to the public domain.

Compiling

Hey, this is me from the future, in 2021! It looks like whatever version of ForgeGradle this used does not work with Forge's weird jar-in-jar system or something so it explodes at runtime because Wings can't find llibrary-core.

• Download LLibrary off of curse.
• Crack it open in a zip file program and pull out llibrary-core-<version>.jar
• Put it in run/mods.
• Happy hacking.

Quick note

Version 2.2 changes some names in the config file to more clear ones, cause even I got confused.

• WHITELIST and BLACKLIST have been changed to ALLOW_LIST and DENY_LIST, matching the ALWAYS_ALLOW and ALWAYS_DENY config options.
• "Whitelist items" (what the hell are those) have been renamed to "bypass keys". Get it, cause they're like, keys, you can hold, to bypass the rule.

Config file version has been bumped to 4. This should just happen transparently.

Adding extra conditions

Maybe you want to have an item that lets you bypass the no-flight rule, but only in certain dimensions or with certain metadata values associated with the item.

The syntax for the bypassKeyArmor and bypassKeyInventory config options is as follows:

• modid:item_name, to allow this item to unconditionally bypass no-flight rules
• modid:item_name dimension:7, to allow this item to bypass no-flight rules in dimension 7
• modid:item_name meta:10, to allow this item to bypass no-flight rules if it has metadata 10
• modid:item_name dimension:7 meta:10, to allow this item to bypass no-flight rules in dimension 7 if it has metadata 10

Or, in other words:

• to always add an item as a bypass-key, write the item ID
• to add extra conditions to the bypasskeyness of an item, write the item ID, a space, and then the extra conditions
• to add a dimension condition, write dimension: and then the numeric dimension ID
• to add a metadata condition, write meta: and then the metadata

Some notes:

• you can only add one of each condition per row in the config file (i.e. some:thing meta:0 meta:1 meta:2 doesn't work)
  • but it is OK to repeat item IDs in the config file
• you can use a range of consecutive values by putting a tilde character ~ in between, (i.e. some:thing meta:0~2)
  • both ends of the range are inclusive
  • you cannot use a non-consecutive range, but see above note (just add another entry)
• Broken Wings only does anything at all in the dimensions you tell it to using the other config options; adding dimension: conditions to an item does not change that.
• Dimension conditions don't play too nicely with the tooltip feature; it won't show anything like "you can use this item to fly in another dimension" or anything like that. Maybe I'll add it later - it's kinda tricky due to how things are set up rn - if you need it really bad, open an issue.
  • You can always disable my tooltips in the config file and make better ones with CraftTweaker.
  • (Hi, me from the future again. Oh god, I don't wanna touch this item-id logic ever again. Get your crafttweaker out.)
