Adventure Backport

Adventure Backport is a compact mod for Minecraft version 1.7.10 that recreates the functionality of Adventure mode, which was officially introduced in version 1.8, on this platform.

An interesting aspect of this modification relates to its development history. Early releases (prior to 2.0) required usage in Survival mode due to technical limitations of Forge. However, version 2.0-alpha underwent almost complete rewriting - it now utilizes coremod capabilities to overcome these barriers. Although some minor limitations remain (such as visual artifacts like 'ghost blocks' visible only to the client), the core functionality works stably and correctly.

Basic Principles of Adventure Mode in Version 1.8

The essence of Adventure mode is that significant limitations are imposed on players' interaction with the surrounding world:

Block Breaking: You cannot break any block without an appropriate tool possessing the special CanDestroy tag. At the same time, the specific block you want to break must be explicitly specified in this tag.

Block Placement: A similar restriction applies to block placement - this requires the CanPlaceOn tag. The block on which you want to place a new element must be listed within this tag.

Configuration and Settings

The mod provides flexible settings allowing individual enabling or disabling of CanDestroy and CanPlaceOn tag functionality through the configuration file.

There is also an additional option that extends the effect of the CanPlaceOn tag - it allows restricting interaction with various objects (for example, requiring a special key to open chests).

For special cases, settings are provided that permit unconditional placement or destruction of certain blocks regardless of established limitations.

Important Note About the /give Command

In the standard version of Minecraft, the /give command works incorrectly when colons are present in NBT data, making it impossible to use with items from other mods. The solution to this problem involves adding an extra colon before the item name.

For example: "/give @p stick 1 0 {CanDestroy:[botania:flower]}" - doesn't work.

Instead use: "/give @p stick 1 0 {CanDestroy:[:botania:flower]}".
