Convenient Things

This mod was my first attempt at working with Fabric Loader, where I experimented with the capabilities of this API.

Currently, the mod includes the following features:

Main Features

Cobblestone Generator - inspired by the Tiny Progressions mod

Crucible - a block that produces lava. Of course, this is a completely new concept that was never previously used in the Ex Nihilo mod.

Resource Plants - a simplified version of the idea implemented in mods like Mystical Agriculture

Resource Plants

Charms - items that provide a constant effect as long as they are in the player's inventory. I first saw this mechanic in Diablo 2.

Sickles - tools for harvesting crops and instantly replanting mature plants with one swing.

Requirements

The mod is designed for Fabric Loader and requires Fabric API!

Starting from version 0.5.2, LibCapableData (LibCD) is also used!

Notes

Currently, only builds for Minecraft 1.15 and newer versions are available. I probably won't port the mod back to version 1.14.

To view recipes, I recommend using Roughly Enough Items. Recipes can also be found in the project's wiki.

Development News

The good news is that the reason why I started developing ConvTh is no longer relevant. I always expected someone to create a specialized mod for growing resources. This happened with Mystical Agriculture: Refabricated, including growth crystals. I highly recommend trying this mod.

My idea with charms was surpassed by mods like Gobber. Additionally, their pixel art looks amazing!

The bad news is that porting this mod from version 1.15.x to 1.16.x took a long time because I had to wait for dependencies to update. The code update required some minor changes to the Fabric API. But it seems that version 1.17 will require a complete code rewrite. I'm not sure I want to do that. I know for sure that I don't have time for this, at least not in 2021.

As of mid-2021, I plan to discontinue development of ConvTh. If I ever return to this project, I will most likely create not one mod with many small improvements, but several small mods, each with its own unique feature.

Therefore, there will be no version for Minecraft 1.17!
