Equipping the Backpack

​

Items inside the Backpack

• Items inside the backpack tick every game tick (simulating being in a player’s inventory), allowing things like furnace fuel, crop growth from nearby blocks, etc. Disable with Items in Backpack Tick.
• Automatic Tool Restock searches the backpack for replacement tools.
• Items will not tick or be accessible while the backpack is sitting in a chest or on the ground as a dropped item.

IEnchantmentInfluencer API

    int getEnchantmentInfluenceColor(BlockGetter world, BlockPos pos, BlockState state);

Notable Config Options

​

Magnets

​

Magnetic Blocks

• Iron Ingot / Raw Iron / Iron Ore / Deepslate Iron Ore
• Copper Ingot / Raw Copper / Copper Ore / Deepslate Copper Ore / Exposed/Weathered/Oxidized Copper
• Quark’s Gravisand

​

How Magnets Work

1. Place a Magnet block. It faces in the direction you are looking when placed (configurable via the directional block state).
2. Power it with a Redstone signal. The magnet lights up (emits light level 3) and begins scanning for magnetic blocks in the facing direction.
3. Each tick, the magnet attempts to move magnetic blocks one step toward itself (attractor) or push them away (repulsor, depending on orientation and signal interpretation).

​

Magnetic Entities

​

API for Modders

public interface IMagnetMoveAction {
    void onMagnetMoved(Level world, BlockPos pos, Direction direction,
                       BlockState state, BlockEntity tile);

    default boolean canMagnetMove(Level world, BlockPos pos, Direction direction,
                                   BlockState state, BlockEntity tile) {
        return true;
    }
}

public interface IMagneticEntity {
    // Override to control or intercept the push/pull movement.
    // YOU are responsible for actually moving the entity when overriding this.
    default void moveByMagnet(Entity self, Vec3 moveDirection, BlockEntity tile) {
        self.push(moveDirection.x(), moveDirection.y(), moveDirection.z());
    }
}

​

Pipes

​

Pipe Types

​

How Pipes Work

• Pipes connect automatically to adjacent pipes and to containers (chests, barrels, hoppers, dispensers, etc.) that expose an IItemHandler capability.
• Items travel through the pipe network at a configurable speed (default pipe speed of 5, effective speed = 5 × 2 = 10 ticks per pipe segment).
• Up to 16 items (configurable via Max Pipe Items) can be in transit in a single pipe at once. Set to 0 for unlimited.
• When items enter or exit a pipe, a whoosh sound is played (disable with Do Pipes Whoosh).
• Pipes emit sculk vibrations when items pass through (Emit Vibrations, enabled by default).
• Item models are rendered travelling through the pipe (Render Pipe Items, enabled by default).

​

Crate

​

How it Differs from a Chest

• Empty = 0
• Any items = 1 (minimum, if not empty)
• Full = 15

​

Totem of Holding

​

Death Behaviour

1. On death, all item drops are absorbed into a Totem of Holding that spawns at (or just above) the player’s death coordinates.
2. The totem displays the player’s name above it so others can identify whose items it holds.
3. The totem is fire-immune and floats in place.
4. Walking into the totem (or right-clicking it) collects all items back into the player’s inventory.

Curiosities Compatibility

​

Tiny Potato

​

Behaviour

• Right-clicking the Tiny Potato makes it emit a heart particle and plays a soft interaction sound. This counts toward a Quark advancement (“Pat the Potato”).
• The block has a very small hitbox (4×6×4 pixels) and is waterloggable.
• It can hold items in a small internal inventory (drops them when broken).
• Produces a Comparator signal based on the number of items inside.
• Custom names can be applied with an Anvil. Named potatoes preserve their name when broken and re-placed.
