Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.11⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.20.6
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Nutlet is a lightweight, utility‑focused data pack designed to easyly creating Multi-block machines.

Key Features

📖 Spell Book

A book with a custom Enchantment. Players write a specific Word or Phrase on its first page, then left-click a block or attack an entity to trigger a corresponding Function.

This lets creators capture Block/Entity Interactions without relying on advancements or raycasting. Just like the function of Soft Mallet in GregTech mod.

Easy registration via the #nutlet:spells function tag.

⏰ Enhanced /schedule

Extends the vanilla /schedule command by allowing you to pass NBT data to the delayed function via Command Storage.

🖼️ Schematic Displays

Summon Block, Item, or Text Display entities that vanish after a set time—even if the chunk is unloaded. Perfect for previewing multiblock structures or giving visual feedback. The vanish function depends on the enhanced /schedule mentioned earlier.

Can specify transformation, block properties, item components, or text JSON.

Optional validity check: if the projected block doesn't match the intended state, a warning text display appears instead.

🔄 Orientation Helpers

Functions that adjust Command Execution Context based on a block's facing direction or Command Execution Rotation.


Get Facing and Orientation of a block (furnace, piston, dispenser, crafter, etc.).


Get the Facing Direction from Command Execution Rotation.


run a function after aligning Execution Angle to the faced direction, making Multi-Block Machines orientation‑agnostic.

🔁 UUID Conversion

Converts a UUID Array (e.g., from an entity's UUID tag) into a hyphenated hexadecimal string that can be used directly in Target Selectors (e.g., /execute as 2ed128ed-5e7b-4a13-b3e0-a49b2749dbd7 run ...).

☀️ Brightness

Calculates the light level at the Executing Position, taking into account adjacent blocks if the block itself is light‑blocking.

⚙️ In‑Game Configuration

Register configuration options that players can Modify at In-Game using the Spell Book.

Two storage backings: scoreboard (for integers) or command storage (for any NBT).

Can define a description, valid range, or a whitelist of acceptable values.

Default values are automatically injected on first load world.

Only the First Player to obtain a Spell Book can Change settings (prevents abuse).

🧰 Additional Utilities


Summon an Armor Stand that runs a Function every tick (with mutable cooldown and changable functions) for simple periodic tasks.

For Datapack Creators

Register spells via the #nutlet:spells function tag.

Register configuration options via the #nutlet:configs function tag.

Call utility functions under the nutlet:-m/... namespace.
