Hi all,
I'd like to introduce a new mod that I made a few days ago for Minecraft 1.9. It is basically a more immersive way to get information for object in the world. So a bit like WAILA but then only when you hold a probe in your hand (you can actually configure the mod so that the probe is not needed).
Why did I make this mod? Well I recently had a discussion about one of my other mods (Deep Resonance). This mod depends heavily on WAILA because the WAILA tooltip shows the quality of the crystal and liquids that this mod works on. Without WAILA it was possible to use Deep Resonance but it was a lot harder. The person I was discussing this with didn't like WAILA however but he still wanted to use Deep Resonance. The main reason he didn't like WAILA because he doesn't like the idea of showing that information all the time without some kind of 'measuring tool' or 'probe'. This is how I got the idea for this mod.
I could have put a tool like this in Deep Resonance itself and that wouldn't have been a very bad idea. However, the principle of showing WAILA tooltip information was also used in RFTools (for example, to show RF or the destination of a teleporter). That almost made me think I should add this to RFTools. But then this would be no solution for Deep Resonance as it would make RFTools a needed dependency which isn't the case right now. So that's why this became a seperate mod.
Because this is a seperate mod I also had to implement a good API. I hope I have done a decent job of that but of course the mod is still beta and feedback is of course welcome. You can check out the latest API here: https://github.com/McJty/TheOneProbe/tree/master/src/main/java/mcjty/theoneprobe/api
On its own this mod supports showing basic block information (a bit like WAILA does), it supports an RF energy bar for blocks that have RF and it can show the contents of any inventory (by sneaking). In addition to that the latest McJtyLib, RFTools Dimensions and Deep Resonance also support this mod to show information specific for that mod (like the crystal/liquid information for Deep Resonance).
The mod is very configurable (as is usually the case with mods that I make). There is a server side config and also a client side config that can be modified in game using a console command (/topcfg). In the future a proper GUI will be implemented for that config.
You can download and try out The One Probe (or TOP) here: http://mods.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft/245211-the-one-probe
Here are a few screenshots showing what it can do:
Deep Resonance supports crystals and can show the stats and how much power is left:
Again Deep Resonance showing the stats of the liquid in the tank:
Sneaking will show the contents of any inventory:
RFTools also supports this and in combination with sneaking you also get extra info:
Feedback is welcome
Thanks
