Imitari

Imitari is a powerful Minecraft mod that introduces "CopyBlocks" - intelligent building blocks that can mimic and replicate the appearance, properties, and behavior of any other block in the game. This mod transforms how players approach construction and creative building.

Core Features

Dynamic Block Mimicry:

- CopyBlocks automatically adopt the visual appearance of any block placed into them, as long as it is a 1x1x1 block
- Physics properties like hardness and explosion resistance are dynamically inherited and scaled appropriately
- Sound effects match the copied block perfectly
- Block tags are inherited (with configurable blacklists for game balance)

Intuitive Interaction:

- Right-click any CopyBlock with a block item to "program" it to mimic that block
- Shift + empty hand removes the copied block
- Creative mode: Middle-click (with shift) to get a copy of the stored block
- Configurable item consumption in survival mode

Comprehensive Block Variants:

- Basic CopyBlocks for full-sized blocks
- CopyBlock Slabs, Stairs, Fences, Walls, Doors, Trapdoors, Ladders, Buttons, Levers, Pressure Plates, and more

Advanced Physics Integration:

- Valkyrien Skies 2 Integration: CopyBlocks participate in realistic physics simulation with proper mass calculations, allowing for dynamic structures that behave like their copied materials
- Create Big Cannons Integration: CopyBlocks work great with its armor system
- Mod Compatibility: Special wing variants for Clockwork and Valkyrien Warium mods when both VS2 and those mods are present

Configurable Gameplay:

- Toggle whether blocks are consumed when placing into CopyBlocks in survival
- Control whether players can remove copied blocks in survival mode
- Enable/disable dynamic tag inheritance
- Configure which block tags should be blacklisted from inheritance

Perfect For:

- Creative Builders: Create structures with mixed materials that look and behave authentically
- Physics Enthusiasts: Build realistic airships, vehicles, and mechanisms with proper mass distribution
- Developers: Leverage the API to create custom CopyBlock variants for their own mods

Technical Highlights:

- Provides a complete API for other mod developers to create their own CopyBlock variants
- Client-side model baking ensures optimal performance
- Extensive configuration options for server administrators
- Clean integration with major physics and technical mods

Whether you're building a medieval castle with authentic stone variants, constructing a realistic airship with proper weight distribution, or just want more creative freedom in your builds, Imitari gives you the tools to make Minecraft blocks work exactly the way you need them to.
