Create Automaton: Reconfiguration
by mrtophatt
Create Automaton: Reconfiguration lets a player change their Create Automaton abilities after the initial selection screen has already been used.
What it does
The addon removes the first-time ability selection screen that normally limits a player to Andesite, Copper, Brass and age-based choices. Instead, a player can pick an extra doodad for other ages, with each option tied to its corresponding casing. Holding a wrench in one hand while an item is held in the other grants the ability that matches that item.
Reconfiguration adds a power to the base Create Automaton abilities. Holding the Highlight Players Spectators key for five seconds starts a windup timer, and when it finishes the current ability is replaced by the corresponding one for the age, at a cost of 200 Stress 2. Restarting the key hold, leaving the ground, or switching to an invalid item resets the windup. After a replacement, a one-minute cooldown applies.
The addon requires Origins + Create: Automaton, and it runs on the server. Clients may install it too, but a player joining a server that has it does not need to. Files are published for Fabric only, for Minecraft 1.20 and 1.20.1, and the code is released under the MIT License as open source.
