Sync Re-Re-Ported

About

Sync is a mod that allows players to make clones of themselves, called "shells". Each shell has its own inventory, health, hunger, and even gamemode. Players can transfer, or "sync" their consciousness into these shells to exchange inventories, quickly travel between different locations, and even escape death.

This mod is a remake of the original Sync mod by iChun. This version of the mod was made for the Desolate Planet modpack as a balanced way to provide more lives in hardcore mode.

History

The concept for Sync originally started with the Sync webseries by Corridor Digital. iChun adapted this into the original Sync mod, which was eventually remade.

On modern versions, the Sync mod has passed hands many times. It was remade on Fabric for 1.17-1.19, abandoned, picked up by palm1 and ported to 1.20, abandoned again, picked up by me to fix a variety of bugs. Then, it was ported to Forge by VTSumik and abandoned again. Finally (for now), I picked it up again to fix more bugs and add some mod compatibilities.

Each new port brought about major improvements but also new bugs, which this version hopefully serves as the solution for. As of writing this description, none of the other versions are maintained, so I am updating my forks of the mod to fix some bugs. However, if someone else takes this project back from me, theirs may end up better than mine. I recommend using whichever version of Sync has been updated the most recently. That may be this one, or maybe someone else has improved upon it since this description was written.

Unique to this version of Sync on Forge

_Features of the Forge version that are not present in the other Forge 1.20.1 version._

• Compatibility with Diet and Thirst Was Taken.
• Fixed a bug where syncing would fail when using shaders.
• Shell storage no longer requires a power source when the shellStorageConsumption is set to 0 in the config.
• Syncing is now possible even if your original body dies (a new config option, mustMaintainOriginalBody, can be changed to revert this).

Unique to this version of Sync on Fabric

_Features of the Fabric version that are not present in the other Fabric 1.20.1 version._

• Completed shells in the shell constructor are now valid destinations to sync to upon death, instead of only shells in storage.
• Sync no longer causes a server crash in multiplayer (from https://github.com/cassiancc/sync-fabric).
• More modded power sources now work with the shell constructor.
• Shell storage no longer requires a power source when the shellStorageConsumption is set to 0 in the config.
• Fixed crash that occurred when there were multiple pages of available shells to sync to (above 8).

How to play

1. You need to craft a shell constructor and place it down.
2. Then you need to provide it with a genetic sample (simply right-click it).\

⚠️WARNING: with the default config, this action will KILL you! In order to create a shell with full health, the constructor must absorb 20HP (40 for Hardcore players). If you don't want to die, you can eat a golden apple to increase your maximum health, or you can hold a totem of undying during the process (which is the only option for Hardcore players with default settings).

1. The shell constructor needs power to work. You can use other modded power systems or use a treadmill, touching any side of the shell constructor. Lure a pig, a wolf, or certain hostile mobs to its center to start generating piggawatts.
2. Once your new shell is constructed, you need to craft a shell storage and place it down.
3. Supply it with redstone power.
4. Once doors of the shell storage are open, you can walk into it.
5. You'll see a radial menu that displays your shells
6. Select the shell you want to transfer your mind into, and enjoy the process!
