Just Another Survival Debug Stick
by notweuz
Just Another Survival Debug Stick lets players in survival mode craft and use a Debug Stick, bringing block state editing to servers without cheats or operator permissions.
What it does
Normally the Debug Stick is only available in Creative mode. This server-side Fabric mod makes it craftable with a shapeless recipe, so survival players can edit block states during play. Block properties are customized through the mod's config system, and the whitelist and blacklist files control which blocks and properties can be changed, along with swapping and cooldown behavior. Fabric API is required.
Settings live in three files, config.json, whitelist.json and blacklist.json, which sit in a jasds directory within the default config directory. The author's notes show example whitelist and blacklist files and give an example of a chest property edit, a waterlogged property on a non-whitelisted bed block, and the way the default configuration works with block properties. Changing the recipe means editing the mod's compiled JSON rather than the source, then compiling again. The mod is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, so its source code and issue tracker are public.
