About this project

What does BNI Essentials add?

Please note that this mod is still in development!

Implements a number of essential tweaks, tools and blocks for the Batteries Not Included community server.

A more thorough description and documentation will be added in the near future, so please check back later for further details.

 

Among things added:

  • Away From Keyboard, including a /afk command to instant toggle AFK status on. Time configurable.
  • Item kit system.
  • First-spawn option to place new players joining at a different spawn location.
  • Homes commands for setting, going to and removing home teleport locations.
  • Teleportation commands.
  • Interactable lecterns that tie into kit giving and player teleportation, without players using commands.
  • Stack size adjustments; consistent across vanilla and modded items.
  • Chiselling Table, allowing deconstruction / recovery of materials as well as merging chiselled blocks.

 

More is planned for future updates.

 

BNI Essentials is not suited for other servers in it's current state.

While most things are implemented and have been tested, some of the configuration options will have no effect because the module is disabled in the code. Should you choose to download this mod for testing on your own server, please know that this mod is still a work in progress. I will update information as I push new versions of the mod.
