Handy Tweaks

<h1><span style="font-family: arial black, sans-serif;">Handy Tweaks</span></h1> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Small, practical QoL fixes to <em>handle</em> things a bit smoother.</span></p> <hr /> <h4><strong>Discard Mode</strong></h4> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"> <li>Drop one Low Fertility Soil - now you won't pick up any Low Fertility Soil again! Works with all items.</li> <li>Toggle with hotkey (Default 'B'), anything you drop will be tagged and that type of item won't be auto picked up again.</li> <li>Toggle again to disable and clear all tagged items.</li> <li>Sneak to bypass Discard Mode temporarily without clearing your banned items, allowing you to pick up accidental drops etc&nbsp; (Thanks <a class="mention username mceNonEditable" href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/user/378EAFCE9B334ACAE84D" data-user-hash="378EAFCE9B334ACAE84D">LunaGore</a> for the idea!)</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Pick Up Drops Instantly</strong></h4> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"> <li>No more weird delay!</li> <li>Increased auto-collect speed for block drops like cattails, logs, grass, stones, sticks, etc</li> <li>Doesn't affect items you or others drop.</li> <li>Slightly increased pick up range - but only for fresh drops</li> <li>Set your own delay time</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Right-Click Pick Up Made Kinder</strong></h4> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"> <li>You can now right-click to pick up loose versions (rocks, sticks, flint, etc.) regardless of what&rsquo;s in your active slot.</li> <li>Only affects blocks that already support right-click pickup.</li> </ul> <h4><strong>Throw Items Farther</strong></h4> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"> <li>Dropping items launches them further so you don't re-grab them by accident</li> <li>Probably obsolete with Discard Mode but its fun hurling stuff?</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Everything can be toggled on/off and tuned in <code>HandyTweaks_config.json.</code> They are all enabled by default.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Optional tweaks:</strong></p> <h4><strong>Alternative Offhand Hunger Penalty</strong></h4> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"> <li>Disabled by default, enable in HandyTweaks_config.json</li> <li>No hunger penalty just for equipping something offhand.</li> <li>When you sprint or use actions, a <strong>stronger</strong> hunger penalty (default +40%) kicks in for a short while</li> <li>It lasts for 5 seconds after sprinting or performing an action. Fully configurable.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <hr /> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">I recommend using this mod with <a href="https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/23330"><strong>Item Pickup Notifier</strong></a>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Let me know if something doesn't work or if there are features similar to this that you would like implemented and I will try my best :)</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="spoiler"> <div class="spoiler-toggle">More info</div> <div class="spoiler-text"> <p>As a relatively new player these are just some things I wrote down while playing and wished were already in the game.</p> <p>I only play single player so I cannot vouch for how these hold up in multiplayer - the pick up delay could perhaps cause some sync issues.</p> <p>Some tips:</p> <ul> <li>Try setting FreshDropRadiusBlocks to a high number like 10 - now you'll pick up drops instantly from pretty much any block you break.</li> <li>Thats all my tips!</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>About Discard Mode:</strong></p> <p>Basic idea is: if you throw away a granite stone, you won't pick up granite stones again.</p> <p>This means you can essentially "mark" or blacklist unwantable items and have a less cluttered inventory.</p> <p>For example no more picking up flowers, low fertility soil, stones when mining etc...</p> <p>Just turn Discard Mode off to reset and all the items will be, uh, pickupable again! Up-pickable?</p> <p>Hotkey is configurable in the normal controls settings - default is 'B'.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Config explanations:</strong><br /><br />"FastPickup": {<br />"Enabled": true,&nbsp;<br />"FreshDropRadiusBlocks": 4.0,&nbsp;<strong>//Pickup distance for the drops, default is roughly 4 blocks away, increase to effectively collect any block you can reach and break</strong><br />"PickupDelayMs": 150 <strong>//This allows you to set a custom delay (I think vanilla is like 1000) in ms, 0 is instant.</strong><br />},</p> <p><br />"RightClickPickup": {<br />"Enabled": true,<br />"PickupWithoutMatchingStack": true,&nbsp;<strong>//Leave these at default, for debug.</strong><br />"AllowWhenActiveSlotEmpty": true,<br />"IncludeHandbookAlternates": true<br />},</p> <p><br />"ThrowFar": {<br />"Enabled": true,<br />"ThrowVelocityMultiplier": 3.0&nbsp;<strong>//Throw your items with 3 times the force (does not apply to actually throwing rocks, only dropping items).</strong><br />},</p> <p><br />"OffhandConditionalHunger": {<br />"Enabled": false,&nbsp;<strong>//Set to "true" to enable</strong><br />"PenaltyPercent": 40,&nbsp;<strong>//How much percent should be added to the hunger rate of the player.</strong><br />"PenaltyDurationSeconds": 5.0,&nbsp;<strong>//How long after you've performed an action or sprinted the penalty should stay.</strong><br />"TriggerOnSprint": true,<br />"TriggerOnLeftClick": true,<br />"TriggerOnRightClick": true,<br />"RequireOffhandItem": true<br />}<br /><br />"DiscardMode": {<br />"AllowSneakBypass": true,&nbsp;<strong>//Setting this to false will disable the ability to bypass Discard Mode temporarily by sneaking.</strong><br />"Enabled": true<br />}<br /><br /></p> </div> </div>
