Mods that feel like cheating

dacmot commented 4 months ago

The following legacy mods in WhyNot feel like cheating and, I think, should be considered for removal. Even if it breaks compabitility.

flyingcarpet : has no restrictions to flying. Unlike the supercub and hydroplane, it does not require fuel. It's also less expensive to build (wool, mese and gold versus diamond, wool and tin, and multi-step for cockpit and wings).
subspace walker : lets players see through and pass through walls and stone. It could maybe be an endgame item that's very difficult to craft (ex. obsidian, diamond blocks, multi-step). On the other hand, it doesn't seem to work for me anymore... The logs show "singleplayer activates subspacewalker:walker" but nothing happens.

To alias the entities, I found that it works like this:

register a new entity of the same name
use that to access any needed properties
you can now spawn it's replacement in the same location, with the translated properties
despawn the old entity (ensure it drops nothing)
