Eugene's Tents
by Eugene
Eugene's Tents lets a player pack a shelter into a single item, place it on the ground and pack it up again with a tent kit, all without needing a wide clear area.
What it does
A tent is crafted from five wool and two sticks, and placing it generates the tent structure immediately after a right-click on a suitable spot that is at least 7 by 7 by 5 blocks. The tent has a direction, so the player does not need to worry about facing it the wrong way when placed. A tent knot sits at the top center; breaking it retracts the tent back into an item.
A tent kit is made by combining a crafting table, a furnace and a chest. Once a tent kit is placed, the stored tent is set down in the world. The mod runs on Fabric for game versions 1.20 – 1.20.6, and it is needed on both the client and the server, so the server and every player need it installed. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Tent from wool and sticks
The tent is crafted from five wool and two sticks, a cheap recipe compared with building a shelter by hand.
Immediate tent placement
Right-clicking a clear spot of 7 by 7 by 5 blocks places the tent structure at once.
Direction-free placement
The tent orients itself so the player does not have to pick the correct facing before placing it.
Retractable tent knot
Breaking the tent knot at the top center packs the whole tent back into an item.
