AutoTool

Hello Minecraftforum
This is the second mod I release, tell me what you think about it!

My mod will choose the optimal Tool to mine the Block you want to mine.
For example, if you are trying to mine a stone with bare hands my Mod will look for a pickaxe in your inventory and choose it.
It will not switch to a pickaxe if it cant mine a block, for example an ironpickaxe and obsidian.

Video about its Function, I think it shows the functions of AutoTool best, huge thanks to TheModSpotlight!

The First Video made about AutoTool, thanks CannonFoddr, you are great!

Alternate Video made by Suttyyy_

Installation:
First install Risugamis Modloader from here:http://www.minecraft...b34c5f9330f3e00
I dont have anything to do with this Mod, its just a requirement.

Then download my Mod from here:http://dl.dropbox.co...67/AutoTool.zip and put the archive into /.minecraft/mods and you are done.

If AutoTool crashes your game run

java -version

into the console of your choice. If it says

java version 1.6.X

(X means it doesnt matter) your JRE is too old. I am working on it, but in the Meantime install JRE7 from here:http://www.oracle.co...oad-432155.html

Usage:

By default the ToolMode is 0
ToolMode 0 means the Mod doesnt do anything.
You have to push the ToolChangeButton to have it change the Mode.
This is by default the Middle Mouse Button.

My mod works in three modes: off, basic and expanded.
Basic will only choose swords, pickaxes, axes and shovels and is represented by toolmode 1.
Extended will attempt to farm dirt, put liquids into buckits and  shear sheep and is represented by toolmode 2.
This is a Standard Configuration, as of Version 1.5 you can fully configure a flexible amount of modes!

After first run it will generate four files in the /mods/AutoTool folder: AutoToolKey.txt, AutoToolMode.txt, AutoToolOverrides.txt and AutoToolModeConfig.txt
The first one determines the Button to use for the ToolChangeKey, -98 is standard and means Middle Mouse Button.
The second one saves the ToolMode you were in when you last played.

AutoToolOverrides:

Spoiler

AutoToolOverrides allows the User to specify that only certain Items are allowed to Mine certain blocks. For Example: You have got a diamond Pickaxe with Fortune III and an IronPickaxe without Enchancements. You can specify that the Ore-Blocks will be mined with a DiamondPickaxe so you can mine Stone with the IronPickaxe and Ores with the Diamond one.

You will have to edit a File inside of the AutoTool Folder called AutoToolOverrides.txt. It has a simple Syntax:

Block_{BLOCKID}=Item_{ITEMID};Item_{OTHERITEMID}

where {ITEMID} and {BLOCKID} have to be replaced with the fitting numbers. The Vanilla Item and BlockIds can be found here: http://www.minecraft...iki/Data_values , for Mods you will have to find these Lists yourself.

Example File for Scenario from Example:

Block_56=Item_278
Block_14=Item_278
Block_15=Item_278
Block_21=Item_278

AutoToolModeConfig:

Spoiler

AutoToolModeConfig is a little special. It is the implementation of full configurability of modes. After first running the new version it will generate the File. The Contents of the File will releate to the old default configuration of Modes, meaning 1 as basic and 2 as extended. You will see every property written down. The Syntax is relatively simple:

{Number of Mode}: {Function} = {Value}
So, In an Example:
1: baseFunction = true

Number Of Mode can be any number bigger than zero and smaller than 2^31.
If you want to add a mode, just write its number in there.

Function is which function you want to change. It can be any value from these:

useBucket
useHoe
useShearOnSheep
useAxeOnEntitys
usePickaxeOnEntitys
useShovelOnEntitys
useSwordOnTiles
useShearOnMooshroom
useBowlOnMooshroom
useOverrides
sortingMethod

sortingMethod is a little special, we will cover that later.
You can configure all of them with boolean values. Boolean Values means allowed is the word "true" or "false"
There are more words, but these are substitutions of the above words. These are "on", "off", "yes" and "no".
What they do should be self explanatory, useOverrides specifys if they use the File AutoToolOverrides.

Now for sortingMethod!
It is very special, you can use it to specify in which priority your items will get chosen by AutoTool.
For example you can specify that only the fastest or the least broken Pickaxe will mine the Block you want to mine.
It has six values you can put in there: Ordinal Values from zero to five or one of these Keywords:

slotDown
slotUp
materialDown
materialUp
durabilityDown
durabilityUp"

The Ordinal Values releate to the Keywords in the order they are listed here.
Slot is a way to get the best Item by its position in your ItemBar.
Down means the first Item is better.
Material is an order generated by the effectivity(Most damage to Entity, fastest Mining)
Down means better effectivity is better Item.
Durability should be self-explanatory.
Down means the most damaged Item is better.

To unblock SMP generate a file called "override.txt" into your /.minecraft folder.
Denote that it is case-sensitive!
It is not important what is inside, the unblock is checking if it exists.
Some Users get their SSP to work but not the SMP. The most likely cause ist that your Operating System hides FileType-Attachments. In that case you have to create a new textdocument called only override.

Key Config:
If you want to change the ToolChange Key here is how to do it:
As I mentioned before the Key is stored in AutoToolKey.txt.
The Binding is the LWJGL Keybinding.
I found a nice Image in the Thread of SinglePlayerCommands, I will ask for permissions to use that.
As long as I dont have Permissions check their Thread here:http://www.minecraft...p-pack-updated/

Alternatively, you can get a second reference in the documentation of lwjgl:http://lwjgl.org/jav...board.CHAR_NONE

MouseValues:
-100 = LeftMouseButton
-99 = RightMouseButton
-98 = MouseWheel

On the left side of the Crafting Table a bar of buttons will appear.
You can navigate through all recipes that exist in your Minecraft, modded ones too!

Its like installing AutoTool, better look up how to do it there!

Instead of using AutoTool.zip you have to use AutoCraft.zip from here:http://dl.dropbox.co...7/AutoCraft.zip

Some Sidenotes:
I have developed a Mod which will choose a desired Enchantmentlevel. Please tell me if there is already something like that and if I should release it.
Also I have thought about getting a Signature, but I am a relatively bad artist. Creating a Signature for one of my mods or my Mods in general would be a nice move!

[axle2208]

SOUNDS GREAT!!!

[ULT1MATEGAMER]

wow but please make a video or atleast some pictures

[Skaven252]

Sounds very handy! I find it a bit fiddly to constantly switch between tools when digging a long tunnel through mixed dirt and rock. This should hit the spot.

[anonym927]

I am glad people like it so far. Like I said in OP, videos are a very hard thing to do. Are there any Suggestions?

[CannonFoddr]

I thought I'll give this a try & may even make a video for you ... but

Silly question - but HOW do we turn on/off/change the automode ??

All I get is 'automode:0' flickering on screen when playing 1.8.1 single player survival

[Q-DanceQulimax]

Don't work , or must i turn a option on?

[anonym927]

You change the Mode using Middle Mouse Button! And yeah, you have to turn it on every time you start the game! Remember: Mode 0 means it doesnt do anything!

[mishakh95]

Meh, this is why we have creative and survival mode.

Wow, I seriously had this EXACT same idea a week ago, but I haven't had the time to mod it myself. Good job!

I actually maintain this mod since 1.6 but this is the first time I release it in public.
You can still try to program this!
Competition is good for business

Well whats the point of this mod if we have creative mode where we can isnta-break?

The Point of this Mod is not for InstaBreak!
The first Point is that a lot of people complaint about chicken hiding in tall grass and trying to hit them would harm your sword a lot.
The second point is, that in creative you got other features too, like infinite placement of blocks or the right to get everything.
Some People just want to build their buildings out of resources they have gotten by themself, but do not want to waste lots of time switching between tools.

gah ninjaed as i was logging in to replay just like that

OK got it working now that I know about the middle mouse button to change modes - found a small 'bug' (??) though

Quote

Extended will attempt to farm dirt, put liquids into buckits and shear sheep and is represented by toolmode 2.

When trying to farm - it seems it selects the hoe BUT it 'digs' instead of 'farm'.

I'm guessing (while in automode:2) because you're 'left clicking' on earth - it select the hoe & interprets the left click as 'dig with hoe' instead of a right-click to 'farm with hoe'

@ anonym927: I'm currently uploading a (very) short video showing this in action (hopefully). I'll post a link when it's done

Also: suggestions....
1) Let it 'remember' the last mode it was set to
2) Option to get rid of that dam flickering 'Automode:xx' line on-screen, or get it to only show up WHEN you change mode

Those are good suggestions, I will work on it asap.
Also the Bug is fixed now I think, will write into a Changlog.
