Description
GAG (Gadgets Against Grind) is a cross-platform utility mod where the goal of each item is to reduce the amount of "grind" a player will have to face during their day-to-day modded business, while (optimally) keeping a Vanilla feel to every item and not feeling too cheaty compared to using something like commands. Some of things GAG adds include:
- A way to easily teleport your way out of caves (Escape Rope)
- Hearthstones that can teleport you to your personal spawn point or world spawn, as well as a variant that you can bind to any location!
- A No Soliciting! Sign to block certain pesky intruders from entering your base.
- Different types of Dynamite for easier mining and fishing!
- A way to tick accelerate blocks, Time-in-a-Bottle style (Temporal Pouch, might be reworked in the future)
- Multiple ways to stop mobs from spawning near you temporarily, enabling you to mine in peace (Sacred Salt, Balm and Salve)
- A Labeling Tool to rename your items on the go without consuming tons of experience
-
- (NEW!) With Pigment Jars, you can now give your favourite tools custom colored names!
Most parameters of these items are configurable by pack developers, and I personally recommend changing the recipes and / or disable some of the features entirely if you do not deem them a good fit for your pack. The defaults are all done with something close-ish to Vanilla in mind, so your mileage may vary.
More items will probably be added in the future as I can come up with novel (enough) ideas, or if I like a suggestion submitted to me on GitHub enough :P
