Magic 8 Ball

by tropheusj

Magic 8 Ball, a Fabric and Quilt mod, adds a toy that answers yes-or-no questions, along with the crafting steps that take it apart and rebuild it.

What it does

Players ask the magic ball a question and receive a yes or no answer. The ball can be taken apart: shift-clicking it removes the icosahedron core, which splits into two hemispheres. The core is then disassembled into 20 faces, and the faces can be crafted back together until the ball is reconstructed.

The ball's responses can be reconfigured. A renamed item on an anvil changes what the ball displays, so a single ball can give custom answers. A puddle of magic water is part of the crafting chain, and the newly fixed core, the two hemispheres and some water together make a functional Magic 8 Ball again.

Installation needs Fabric API on Fabric, or Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) on Quilt. Magic 8 Ball is published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Client and server both need it, so the server and every player must run it. The code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Yes-or-no answers

    The ball responds to a question with a yes or no answer, and players can ask it about the future.

  2. Disassembly into faces

    Shift-clicking the ball pulls the icosahedron core apart into two hemispheres and 20 faces.

  3. Reconstruction by crafting

    Faces are crafted back into the core, which joins the hemispheres and water into a working ball again.

  4. Custom responses via anvil

    Renaming an item on an anvil changes what the ball displays, so the answers can be reconfigured.

What the author says

Ask it all the questions you want! Well, as long as they can be answered with yes or no. If you're lucky enough to come across an 8-ball of your own, you can take it apart and reconfigure the responses to your heart's content.
