Poll: What do you think?
Ended May 15, 2014
The following is the post as I originally wrote it while I maintained it. I'm leaving it here for now -- there more details here than in the new post currently, although not all of the features are necessarily the same in the new version. This will all get sorted out eventually
This is a Minecraft client mod that requires nothing from the server. That means you can use it for SMP and Single Player!

Introducing ControlPack
Great Mod Spotlight by RedstoneNightmare
Compatibility With Other Mods
MUST READ IF YOU HAVE OTHER MODS
...Or other mods that modify the sound manager base class. ControlPack *IS* compatible with these mods, BUT you must omit this base class from the installation, and you will lose the SFX volume control feature in ControlPack:
blk.class
Optifine
The Look Behind feature in ControlPack 5.9+ will crash if you have Optifine. I'm working on a solution. In the meantime, if you have Optifine please just disable the lookbehind feature.
FORGE
ControlPack is compatible, but it is NOT a Forge mod. To install ControlPack into Forge YOU MUST FOLLOW THE FORGE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THE INSTALLATION SECTION.
IMPROVED CHAT
atp.class conflicts with Improved Chat. You MUST install the Control Pack version of this file. It contains special code to make sure Improved Chat works even though you will be overwriting its version of the file. The simpliest way to ensure you do it right is to install or reinstall Control Pack AFTER installing Improved Chat.
Other mods:
If another mod also requires changes to minecraft.jar, there is a conflict if it needs to modify any of the same class files that ControlPack modifies. ControlPack has been written so that you can leave off any conflicting class files and the mod will still work, but you'll lose the corresponding feature. Here is a list of the files ControlPack modifies and what they are used for.
avt.class
OPTIONAL!
Known Conflict: GUIAPI
This just adds the ControlPack button to the options GUI. You can use ALT+C to open it instead.
axp.class
OPTIONAL!
Enables Smart Furnace functionality.
blk.class
OPTIONAL!
Provides the sound effect volume feature.
atp.class
REQUIRED!!
General plumbing for ControlPack.
IF YOU OVERWRITE THIS FILE WITH ANOTHER MOD THAT CONTAINS IT, MINECRAFT WILL CRASH
Installation Instructions
Magic Launcher
Magic Launcher and ControlPack do not work together. I haven't been able to figure out why, just that Magic Launcher is not installing ControlPack correctly for some reason. I will update the thread if this changes. In the meantime, you will have to install ControlPack directly into the JAR file.
Vanilla Minecraft / No ModLoader or other special frameworks
Basicaly, install ModLoader, and then install ControlPacks class files the same way you installed ModLoader.

Control Pack Options ScreensYou can turn all the features on and off.
FEATURE BY FEATURE
Auto Tool Selection
You can customize how the tool selection works by putting it into one of these modes, right from the included UI:
Weakest Tool (this is default value)
Select the weakest tool you have that will do the job. For example: You have a wood pick and a stone pick, it will normally select the wood pick while mining stone. If you find Iron Ore, which requires at least a Stone pick, it will use the stone pick.
Strongest Tool
Always pick the fastest tool for the job, even if you have lesser tools that would work.
Leftmost
No magic, just pick the first tool on the toolbar that is appropriate for the block.
Rightmost
No magic, just pick the last tool on the toolbar that is appropriate for the block.
Quick Toggle
Of course, there may be times you want to use a particular tool. You can very easily turn auto tool on and off by hitting ALT+T.
Quick Toggle Mode
You can also quickly cycle through the possible modes using ALT+R.
While auto mining
This works even while using the toggle-mining feature. That means you can turn on toggle mining, and sit back as you automatically switch between picks and shovels as you run into dirt or gravel patches.
Breaking Tools
And, after a tool breaks, since you won't be holding a tool anymore, auto tool will automatically switch to a new tool.
Auto Sword Selection
You can quickly enable and disable Auto Sword with ALT+S.
If you have a mod that provides weapons other than a sword you want to auto select, you can customize which items ControlPack thinks are swords in the options screen. Just provide a comma-delimited list of the item IDs.
Auto Block Selection
You can customize how it decides which block to place by putting it into one of these mods, right from the included UI:
Leftmost (the default)
Uses the first placeable block or item that is on your toolbar.
Rightmost
Uses the last placable block or item that is on your toolbar.
Slot #
You can set it to a specific slot number (1 through 9). Then it will place whatever block is in that slot, if any.
Quick Toggle
You can quickly enable and disable Auto Block with ALT+B.
Example
Remember it applies to any placeable item or block, even torches. So picture this: In the first 3 slots of your inventory you have a pick, a shovel, and torches. You mine away, and Auto Tool is switching between the pick and shovel for you. Now and then, you want to place a torch. All you do is right click, and BAM, a torch is placed, then you just continue left-click mining! Can it get ANY easier? Well, there's also the 'Place Torch' key
With Control Pack, you'll almost never have to worry about switching between inventory items!
Hold to Attack
Stack Preservation
Place Torch
If you don't have any torches, it will also place a Redstone Torch.
Eat Food
Tap to Sprint
Automatic Window Restoration
Better 3rd Person View
ControlPack adds another 3rd person view that separates camera control from head movement. This allows you, for example, to view your character from the side, from above, or from below. You can see yourself turn 360 degrees around as the camera stays in the same position.
You can rotate the camera up/down and left/right by holding down the middle mouse button and moving the camera freely. You can also do it with the keyboard by holding down CONTROL and then using your usual directional keys. For example, CTRL+LEFT will rotate the camera to the left.
Just keep tapping F5 to toggle through all the views as usual.
Look at the pretty clouds...
Swap Left and Swap Right
Perhaps you are working on a building that needs mostly stone but with some glass every now and then. Well, swap to the glass temporarily when you need it. Easy!
Another great use -- if you're mob hunting, keep some pork or whatever to the left and right of your sword. Healing up in mid-battle is much easier!
Toggle Sneak
Also -- did you know that sneaking while on a ladder will let you stick to the ladder? Holding down sneak to do that is great, but you can't do anything else without falling down. You can't chat, get up to go to the bathroom, or eat Cheez-Its®! Toggle sneak and you're good to go.
Auto Jump
Auto Run
NEW IN 5.5: If you want to auto run BACKWARDS, just use auto run while walking backward. It will continue to run backwards.
Toggle Mining
If you're especially lazy, also turn on auto-run, look just a tad bit down from the center, and you'll not only auto-mine, you'll blaze a path while doing it! Afraid you might fall into a cavern? No problem, turn on toggle sneak too!
This can marathon mining sessions so much more enjoyable.
TIP: You can set your middle mouse button (the 'wheel click') to toggle mining.
Toggle Use Item
This is great for eating a lot of melon slices when your hunger bar is nearly empty. Just tap it, and then grab a quick bite to eat yourself
Run Distance
It will stop when you are that many blocks away from where you started, in a straight line. So if you put "10" for example, imagine there is a box around your starting point that goes 10 blocks in each N, E, W, S direction. Your character will stop walking when they hit the wall of that box, at whatever point it is.
Smart Furnace Drops
ControlPack will figure out the best thing to do with the item:
x If it is a smeltable item, it puts it in the furnace queue or adds it to the existing queue.
x If it is a furnace fuel (coal, etc), it puts it in the fuel slot, or adds it to the existing fuel.
x When placing fuel, it knows how much is necessary to smelt all the items and only adds that many.
x When placing fuel, if there is already some fuel, it adds only enough to it to be able to smelt all the items.
x You can do all of this while already holding a completely different item.
What does this mean exactly? Say you have an empty furnace, 64 sand, and 64 coal. Normally, to smelt them you would have to perform a ton of mouse operations, dragging things around, right clicking a bunch of times, etc etc. It's kind of a pain.
Here's how you do it with ControlPack!
1. Shift-click the sand.
2. Shift-click the coal.
3. When it's done smelting, shift-click the glass. DONE!
Look Behind
Look behind makes your middle-mouse button to do something incredibly useful. It causes your character to turn their head 180 degrees to look behind you, while you are still running! Just hold it down to look behind you, then release to look forward again.
Don't have a middle mouse button? You can reconfigure it to any mouse or keyboard key. You can also hold down the BACK button (that is, whatever key you have mapped to be your 'move backwards' button) while holding down the forward button -- thereby pressing forward and back at the same time.
Looking behind you -- notice there's no hand or tool, and the scene is tilted a little
Toggle Full Brightness
Moody Brightness Level
Full Brightness Level
Sound Effect Volume
* Some sounds won't get louder than they would be when your Minecraft sound setting is set to 100%. To get them louder than other sounds, lower your Minecraft volume setting but increase your system volume to compensate.
* NEW IN 5.4: Now you can control the volume of animals, slimes, and the step and dig sounds.
Coordinates Overlay
Note that the coordinates display in X, Z, and Y order. Y is your vertical position.
Waypoints
NEW IN 5.1: You can customize the display of the coordinates, so you can decide what order X, Y and Z are in, etc.
Say your location
NEW IN 5.1: You can customize the display of the coordinates, so you can decide what order X, Y and Z are in, etc.
Auto Corpse Waypoint
Now with ControlPack you'll find your stuff easily. A waypoint is automatically set to the location of your untimely death.
Tool Uses Counter
Arrows Remaining Counter
Are you asking if I can add Flying to the mod or saying it appears to be incompatible with an existing Fly mod you have? I won't add Flying sorry to say. I do want compatibility though, so any more information can you provide would be helpful. Which mod, what happens specifically, etc. Just "it effects it" doesn't tell me much.
You mean you want the mod to allow you to run faster? Sorry, can't do that. This mod is not for cheating or altering gameplay in any significant way. I want it for improving gameplay, not altering it.
Wow, that'd be... interesting. And difficult. :smile.gif: But really, is it that hard to get to the destination yourself? :smile.gif: But for a different purpose it would be fun to be able to type in some coordinates and then you automatically get there by whatever means. That's a whole 'nother ball game though.
messagemodYup! SMP + SSP
Couldn't edit the post title which said 1.5
That's the idea! Thanks! :smile.gif:
I know it's a big problem :sad.gif: I am looking into it when I can. Definitely high on the TO DO list.
I worked out some hack-a-licious ways to avoid modifying the same class the MCPatcher modifies. In other words, I have achieved MCPatcher HD Texture compatibility! :smile.gif: Woohoo!!
Before I release it though, I'd love if someone would try it out for me. Also, going to be adding another feature or two first. If you want to be an early adopter for 2.2 Beta please private message me. For everyone else, the release will be soon, but I don't know how soon.
Try and be more specific. Do you have other mods? Are you starting fresh? "It doesn't work" doesn't really say much :smile.gif: There are instructions in the README that a pretty detailed that might help you.
One thing you should definitely try is to start from a fresh untouched 1.6.6 minecraft.jar and then install ModLoader. Then see if Minecraft launches ok. If not, installing ControlPack is only only going to hurt.
New Features:
MCPATCHER COMPATIBILITY! YAY!
LookBehind now works when you hit Forward and Back at the same time, in case you don't have a middle mouse button
The Minecraft game window automatically restores to its previous position and fullscreen state when it launches!
Does anyone know how I can edit the title of this post? It says 2.1 and now it is 2.2. When I click edit all I get is the ability to edit the post itself.Thanks :smile.gif: This forum is tough -- things only stay on the 1st page for like 2 minutes, and then the views drop to basically 0.
Yes, thank you! Improving the gameplay without cheating is exactly what I'm after. I want to take away the tedious things that don't themselves do anything for gameplay.
Crafting is great example of that. If I understand you correctly, you want shift-click to craft the max number of items it can based on whats on the table? Great suggestion -- there's no gameplay element that comes from having to rapid click to make 10 of something. If it's not a stackable item though, it wouldn't work. Although, in that case it could drop them all into your inventory for you too, assuming there is room.
Anyone else? :smile.gif:
The Convenient Inventory mod allows you to craft full stacks at time, plus a few other things. I highly recommend it.
Downloading ControlPack now, will try it tomorrow. Thanks!
