Restriction
Minecraft Java mod. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on CurseForgeThis mod is made for modpack developers and not meant to be installed unconfigured. I made it for my modpack Exoria.
This mod restricts placement and interaction (right click) of blocks/machines. There are several criteria that can be used, such as being under an open sky, being in a closed room, having a special block nearby, being in a special dimension, being on a certain y level or needing a certain amount of experience.
On the first launch it will create an example json under config/restriction named restriction.json, you need to edit it and can use it as an example.
The structure of the json is the following:
- "entries" is an array that defines the single restrictions
-- "block" define the block id to be restricted
-- "meta" define the meta data of the block
-- "ignoreMeta" set to true, if you want all blocks of the block id to be restricted no matter of the block id
-- "restrictions" array of restrictions that this block has
--- "type" CLOSEDROOM, DIMENSION, NEARBYBLOCKS, EXPERIENCE, MINHEIGHT
--- "reverse" set to true to invert the logic, this will turn MINHEIGHT for example to a max height requirement
--- "block" block id that is optional for CLOSEDROOM to define blocks that the room is made out of; and required for NEARBYBLOCKS
--- "meta" define the meta of above block
--- "ignoreMeta" set to true, if all blocks of the same block id are allowed and meta data doesn't matter
--- "amount" the minimum amount of blocks required that are defined above; or the XP level for EXPERIENCE; or the y level for MINHEIGHT
--- "size" min room size for CLOSEDROOM
--- "id" the dimension id for DIMENSION
