Jar It!

This mod allows you to place various objects into special jars. It was created for the ModFest Singularity 2022 event.

How to Use

Creating a jar involves several simple steps:

1. Build a cube of special jar glass around the object you want to place in the jar
2. Use the jar cork on one of the top glass blocks (not on a corner or edge block)
3. The jar's contents are compressed into a single jar block that can be carried
4. To expand the jar back, use the jar opener on a placed jar block

Commands

• /jar-it create <size> [<id>] - Creates a new jar in the jar dimension without prior construction, gives you a jar item. You can specify the identifier of the new jar
• /jar-it destroy <id> [force] - Destroys a jar with the specified identifier, moving all players and loaded entities to spawn in the regular world. Use force to skip confirmation
• /jar-it enter [<target>] id <id> - Teleports the user or specified target into the jar with the given identifier
• /jar-it enter [<target>] at <block-position> - Teleports the user or specified target into the jar at the block position
• /jar-it give <id> - Gives the player a jar item for the specified identifier
• /jar-it list - Shows a list of all jars in the world
• /jar-it lock <id> - Locks a jar, preventing it from being opened with a jar opener
• /jar-it unlock <id> - Unlocks a locked jar

Known Issues

• Jar interiors are not rendered, and being inside a jar doesn't show what's happening outside
• Jars don't track if their items or blocks get destroyed, which can lead to "orphaned" jars. Commands can be used for such cases
• Jars that are not loaded when destroyed via command don't move their entities to spawn in the regular world
