This project uses Java's reflection to dynamically load minecraft.jar and use its inner functions to simulate the game from within another interface. The main aim of this project is to speed up the development of redstone circuits and technical builds, as well as providing methods to help share schematics.
- Simulate all redstone components 100% accurate.
- Work with different schematics separately.
- Top-down, front and right perspectives.
- Place, rotate and activate blocks.
- Export images.
- Go tick by tick and backwards in time.
- Compatible with modded clients.
- Nether and end compatible.
- The time bar allows manipulating the time of each schematic separately. When ticking, the previous schematic is internally buffered, this enables going back in time. Be careful though, there is no branching of timelines. If you go back in time and modify anything, the future is discarded and this is the new end of the timeline.
- In the editor, scrolling changes the layer. If control or command is pressed, scrolling will zoom. Dragging the scroll the editor along with the mouse.
Besides mouse clicking, these tools can also be activated by function keys 1 to 4.
Send a right click to toggle levers, push buttons, switch comparator modes,
change repeater delay, ...
Right click places the selected block on the left side at the selected coordinates. Left
click replaces it with an air block. By default, surrounding blocks are updated. If the shift key is being held, nothing
is updated.
Rotates the selected block, left and right click will rotate in different directions.
Creates a selection of multiple blocks, similar to spreadsheet software, but in 3
dimensions. Shift will take the previous origin, if possible. Control or command will add to the previous selection, and
when done on an already selected region, will make a negative selection inside the previous selection. Selecting blocks
has currently no use, though. >.<- !{Update}(/img/tools/update.png) Updates the selected block. Holding shift will send it as a random block update.
MC ticker is able to handle modded clients, but currently has no graphics for any. Graphics are configured by XML files that are located in the /conf folder. Detailed instructions on how to modify them can be found in said folder.
There have been a couple of them that I know of, but all their approaches were by manually recreating the behaviors. This made them not 100% accurate, nor feature complete. The difference is that by using minecraft itself, all behaviors are simualated (block and entity bahaviors, not bothering with weather and such), so in essence the GUI becomes the bottleneck.
