Solace

Solace

A per-player middleground between Survival and Creative, for Fabric on Minecraft 26.3.

One player opts into a safe, no-combat "Solace" state (immune to harm, ignored by hostile
mobs, with a dial from pure safe-survival up to creative-lite) while everyone else keeps
full vanilla survival on the same world. World difficulty is never changed, and nothing
about the world itself is touched: Solace lives entirely on the player.

Built for mixed-comfort servers: one person wants to build, garden, and explore without
ever being chased off a cliff by a creeper, and everyone else wants survival to stay
survival. Solace gives that one player a bubble instead of giving the whole server
peaceful mode.

What Solace players get

Always on while Solace is enabled:

• Damage immunity from every source: mobs, falls, fire and lava, drowning, suffocation, starvation
• Hostile mobs ignore them entirely (per player; mobs still hunt everyone else, including the Warden's sniffing and anger)
• No phantoms, ever, regardless of sleep
• Explosion base protection: creepers and other hostile explosions can't break blocks (configurable: hostile only, all explosions, a protected home region, or off)
• A can't-die backstop with void rescue, in case something slips through
• /solace tp <player> to warp to a friend, and a shared /solace home warp

The dial

Three presets stack quality-of-life on top of that baseline. Every row is also an
independent per-player flag via /solace set, so a preset is just a starting point.

Infinite blocks and torches are driven by the solace:infinite_blocks and
solace:infinite_torches item tags, so datapacks can retune what counts as "basic."

Commands

/solace on | off | status
/solace preset survival+ | comfort | creative-lite
/solace set <feature> on | off          # per-player override
/solace fly                             # toggle flight (if the cap allows)
/solace tp <player>                     # warp to a player (cooldown)
/solace home set | clear | tp           # shared home warp (set/clear are op-only)
/solace admin <player> ...              # op-only: manage other players
/solace reload                          # op-only: reload config

Ops can always use everything; non-ops manage themselves when allowSelfService is on.
The solace:use and solace:admin permission nodes are honored when a Fabric
permissions mod is present, falling back to op level 2.

Server-side config

Everything lives in config/solace.json on the server (editable in-game via Mod Menu +
Cloth Config on the client, or with a text editor and /solace reload):

• defaultPreset: which preset new Solace players start on
• allowMultiplePlayers: limit Solace to a single slot, held persistently even while the holder is offline
• pacifist: Solace players can't hurt mobs or players (directly, with projectiles, via pets, or with harmful potions)
• teleport: enable/disable, cooldown, cross-dimension
• baseProtection: hostile_explosions / all_explosions / home_region / off
• featureCaps: admin master switches for flight, reach, mining speed, no-durability, and infinite blocks that override any preset or personal override
