HelperCraft
by Flostar
HelperCraft replaces typed commands with special items that trigger time, weather, combat and explosion actions on a right-click.
What it does
Instead of typing commands, players pick up items and use them with a right-click. The mod includes 38 such items, covering time control such as acceleration, slowdown, base-time reset and day-night switching, so a world's flow can be changed without entering a command.
Combat and destruction items are also included: a one-hit kill sword, special arrows that destroy blocks, a lightning item that strikes at the target point, and two levels of explosive items, from small blasts to large ones. A potion that causes instant death and other experimental effects extends the survival side.
Switching between creative, survival and other game modes is handled by items as well. The mod is built on NeoForge and runs on the 1.21.8 release only. Both the server and every player need it, and the code is not open source, released under All rights reserved.
