Magic Eight Cube
by Trod
Magic Eight Cube adds a cube-shaped fortune telling item to Minecraft, built from stone instead of the cobblestone used in the classic toy.
What it does
A player uses the cube to get a random answer when facing a yes-or-no decision, much like the toy it is modeled on. The mod runs on Forge and NeoForge, and both the server and every player need it, because it runs on client and server. Its files cover 1.12.2 – 1.21.5, with the latest NeoForge build at 2.1.0 for 1.21.5 and the latest Forge build at 1.15.X V1.1.0 for 1.15.2. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so the source is open.
Key features
Fortune telling cube
The cube gives a random answer to a question, filling the role of a magic eight ball in a block shape.
Custom answers
A config file lets server owners write their own answers for the cube.
Stone construction
The cube is crafted from stone rather than cobblestone, giving it a different look from the classic toy.
