About this project

What does Soyjak Spotter add?

Soyjak Spotter: marks what you track, once you can see it

Download Watch the video

Beware, mortal

This mod watches your screen for whatever you tell it to watch for, ores, blocks, dropped items, mobs, players, words in chat, arrows if you're into that, and slaps a marker on it the second it's actually visible. Doesn't see through walls, so no, you can't use this to cheat, your eyes still have to do their job first, you little ADHD affected human

What it spots

Diamond ore
Blocks
Any block, even from other mods. Ore presets are already there
Diamond
Dropped items
For that one diamond you lost in the grass
Creeper head
Mobs and entities
Mobs, minecarts, boats, whatever has an id
Player head
Players
Just pick nicknames from the tab list
Chat bubble
Words in chat
Circles your words right in the chat
Inventory slot
Your inventory
Circles tracked items in your slots, chests and hotbar

Boring stuff gets a plain red circle. Rare stuff gets a screaming soyjak and a siren. You decide which is which

See it in action

Ores
Markers on ores

No wallhack

Ore in sight or behind glass is marked, ore behind a wall is not

It only marks what you can actually see. Buried ore, mobs behind walls, invisible stuff and things too far away get nothing. Glass, ice, slime and honey count as see-through, solid blocks, leaves and lava don't. Darkness doesn't matter though, if you're looking at ore in a dark cave it still gets marked

Make it yours

Make a folder, add pictures, add sounds, reload and pick the pack

You can swap in your own soyjak pictures, siren sounds and even the circle. Just drop files in a folder, no JSON or resource packs needed

config/soyjak_spotter/packs/<pack name>/
  soyjaks/*.png    pictures (png or jpg), as many as you want
  sounds/*.ogg     sounds, as many as you want
  circle.png       your own circle, if you want one
  pack.json        if you want, see Details below

There's already an example_pack folder you can use as a template. Throw your stuff in, hit Reload packs and pick it in Settings > Packs & presets > Pack, the Open packs folder button is right there too. Whatever your pack is missing comes from the built-in one, and if you don't want the built-in soyjaks or sirens at all, you can turn them off on the same page

Search filter cheat sheet
Write Meaning
diamond ore every word has to match the name or the id, any game language works
diamond | emerald either one
ore -deepslate everything except this
"deepslate ore" this exact phrase
@create mod id or mod name
$ores, $c:ingots anything with this tag (you need to be in a world)
diamond, help, Steve only for the Chat list, words or phrases split by commas

Words with 4+ letters forgive a typo or two. Exclusions, phrases, @ and $ have to be exact

pack.json
{
  "name": "My pack",
  "description": "Screaming, but louder",
  "author": "me",
  "soyjak": { "height": 256, "pivotU": 0.5, "pivotV": 0.5 }
}

Every field is optional. Pictures should point to the right, the mod flips them randomly anyway. Max 64 pictures (2048 px, 4 MB each) and 32 sounds (5 MB each) per pack

Presets

A preset saves your block, item, inventory and entity lists plus how everything looks and behaves. Your player list and volumes never go in there, so it's safe to share. Hit Export, paste it in Discord, and your friend hits Import from clipboard and then Apply

Config files

Everything is in config/soyjak_spotter/, that's general.json, blocks.json, items.json, inventory_items.json, entities.json, players.json, chat.json, plus the packs/ and presets/ folders. Edit the JSON by hand or just use the settings screen

The siren uses the vanilla Interface volume slider, so if that's at 0% you won't hear it
