About this project

What does Leanable Surfaces add?

In vanilla you can lean tongs and other tools against a wall with Shift + Ctrl + right click on the floor, but only against full solid blocks. Try it next to your forge and you get "Requires a solid wall to lean at".

Leanable Surfaces lets small tools lean against forges, anvils, chests and other workshop blocks that are not full solid walls, so your tongs can rest right next to the forge where they belong.

Better together: the KristKing mods

Every one of my mods works on its own. Install them together and they talk to each other, with no dependencies: remove one and the rest keep working.

Mod	What it is	Together
Gentage	Heritable genetics for animals, a veterinarian trade and a server rarity ranking.	Works side by side, no shared patches or screen areas.
Waypoint Compass	A compass strip on your HUD, worn as a watch: waypoints and other players.	Works side by side, no shared patches or screen areas.
Player Roster	Hold Tab for a scoreboard of everyone online.	Works side by side, no shared patches or screen areas.

Features

Lean against: forge, anvil, bloomery, quern, barrel, chest, double chest (trunk), reed basket, crate, table and workbench.
Flush against the real side of the block: most workshop blocks are narrower than a full block (the forge leaves 1/16 on each side), so each tool is measured by its own model and placed touching the block, neither floating nor clipping into it. Tall tools like wooden tongs rest on the top edge of a low block.
On the floor: with no wall or support around, small tools lie flat on the ground (2 per block) instead of showing an error.
Only tools small enough to make sense: tongs (wooden and metal), hammer, chisel, knife, shears, wrench, soldering iron, firestarter, cleaver, plumb and square.
Large tools (pickaxe, spear, shovel, axe, scythe, oar, fishing pole…) still need a solid wall, as in vanilla. They would float over a low block.
Leaned tools behave like vanilla ones: same placement and pick-up, and they drop if the block they lean on (or the one under them) is removed.

Configuration

ModConfig/leanable.json on the server. The server marks the blocks and items and the game syncs them to every client, so players don't need to edit anything.

Key	What it does
`Blocks`	Blocks you can lean against (wildcards, e.g. `game:anvil-*`)
`Items`	Items small enough to lean on them
`AnyBlockWithCollision`	`true` = any block with a collision box counts
`ConfigVersion`	Managed by the mod: new default blocks are added to older files automatically

Dependencies

None. Only Vintage Story 1.22 or newer.

Compatibility

Tested on a Vintage Story 1.22.7 server running 56 mods, with no errors.

Carry On: compatible. It doesn't patch ground storage, so leaned tools can still be picked up as usual.
Smithing Plus, Helve Hammer Extensions, Anvil Performance Optimization: compatible. Tongs and tools lean against the forge and anvil as expected.
Only mods that patch how vanilla ground storage places or draws leaned tools could conflict (see technical notes); none of the mods above does.

Install

Required on the server and on every client. After updating, close the game completely before joining again.

Technical notes

Harmony patches on BlockGroundStorage.CreateStorage and OnNeighbourBlockChange (placement), and on BlockEntityGroundStorage.genTransformationMatrices, getMeshCacheKey and BlockEntityDisplay.applyDefaultTranforms (drawing, only for tools it placed). They only kick in when the vanilla wall check fails, so tools against real walls look exactly as in vanilla. If a future game version changes those methods, the mod logs a warning and vanilla behaviour stays.

Español

En vanilla puedes apoyar las tenazas y otras herramientas contra una pared con Shift + Ctrl + clic derecho en el suelo, pero solo contra bloques sólidos completos. Junto a la fragua sale «Es necesaria una pared sólida para apoyarse».

Leanable Surfaces permite apoyar herramientas pequeñas contra la fragua, el yunque, los cofres y otros bloques de taller que no son paredes sólidas, para que las tenazas queden junto a la fragua, donde corresponde.

Mejor juntos: los mods de KristKing

Cada uno de mis mods funciona solo. Instalados juntos se hablan entre sí, sin dependencias: si quitas uno, los demás siguen funcionando.

Mod	Qué es	Juntos
Gentage	Genética heredable para los animales, oficio de veterinario y ranking de rareza del servidor.	Funcionan juntos, sin parches ni zonas de pantalla compartidas.
Waypoint Compass	Una franja de brújula en pantalla, en un reloj: waypoints y otros jugadores.	Funcionan juntos, sin parches ni zonas de pantalla compartidas.
Player Roster	Mantén Tab para ver a todos los conectados, como un marcador.	Funcionan juntos, sin parches ni zonas de pantalla compartidas.

Funciones

Se puede apoyar contra: fragua, yunque, horno de fundición, molino de mano, barril, cofre, cofre doble (baúl), cesto de juncos, cajón, mesa y banco de trabajo.
Pegadas a la cara real del bloque: casi todos los bloques de taller son más estrechos que un bloque completo (la fragua deja 1/16 por lado), así que cada herramienta se mide por su modelo y queda tocando el bloque, sin flotar ni atravesarlo. Las altas, como las tenazas de madera, se apoyan en el borde superior de un bloque bajo.
En el piso: sin pared ni apoyo alrededor, las herramientas pequeñas quedan acostadas en el suelo (2 por bloque) en vez de dar error.
Solo herramientas pequeñas: tenazas (de madera y de metal), martillo, cincel, cuchillo, tijeras, llave inglesa, soldador, iniciador de fuego, cuchilla de carnicero, plomada y escuadra.
Las herramientas grandes (pico, lanza, pala, hacha, guadaña, remo, caña de pescar…) siguen necesitando una pared sólida, como en vanilla: flotarían sobre un bloque bajo.
Las herramientas apoyadas se comportan como las vanilla: se colocan y recogen igual, y caen si se quita el bloque en el que se apoyan (o el de abajo).

Configuración

ModConfig/leanable.json en el servidor (Blocks, Items, AnyBlockWithCollision). El servidor marca los bloques y objetos y el juego lo sincroniza a cada cliente: los jugadores no tienen que tocar nada.

Dependencias

Ninguna. Solo Vintage Story 1.22 o superior.

Compatibilidad

Probado en un servidor de Vintage Story 1.22.7 con 56 mods, sin errores.

Carry On: compatible. No parchea el almacenamiento en el suelo, así que las herramientas apoyadas se recogen como siempre.
Smithing Plus, Helve Hammer Extensions, Anvil Performance Optimization: compatibles. Las tenazas y herramientas se apoyan en la fragua y el yunque sin problema.
Solo podrían chocar mods que parcheen cómo el almacenamiento en el suelo coloca o dibuja lo apoyado; ninguno de los anteriores lo hace.
