Features

Other will be added as time comes

Jigsaw placement rotation via command

Since: 1.0

From: A ShaiTheLamb request
(see their Modrinth)

The /place jigsaw now is given optional extra arguments:
from /place jigsaw <pool> <target> <max_depth> <X> <Y> <Z>, it is now possible
to do /place jigsaw <pool> <target> <max_depth> <X> <Y> <Z> [<force_rotation:boolean> <rotation:0|90|160|270>].
There, the two extra arguments behave as such:

  • force_rotation: if true, makes the placed piece forcefully rotated with the provided
    rotation. Otherwise, adds the provided rotation to the random one.
  • rotation: Indicates a rotation to apply to the placed piece. If forced, it
    allows you to ensure a specific rotation, or otherwise, get variant results
    from the random ones.

Entity discarding via command

Since: 1.1

From: me (Nerjal Nosk)

Because some mods add entities that don't properly die or get removed using the
/kill command, I decided to add a way to straight up remove an entity from
the world, with a new /discard command.

Usage is similar to the /kill command, except there is no option to discard
oneself.
To avoid causing bugs with unexpected situations, players cannot be discarded.

Structure generation painting placement fix

Since: 1.2

From: A ShaiTheLamb request
(see their Modrinth)

I only added the necessary math Mojang had not, to ensure proper placement of
paintings when generating structures. Also works with structure blocks, and the
/place command.

There is nothing for you to do; just have the mod loaded and it works. You're welcome.

Usage

Feel free to use it as a dependency for your own mods, or add it to modpacks.

You are not allowed, however, to bundle this mod (JiJ, modpack overrides, etc)
in your own projects.

You can add it as a code dependency to your own projects using my own maven,
with com.nerjal:predicator at https://maven.nerjal.com/snapshots
