Plethora Peripherals
by SwitchCraft
Plethora Peripherals is a Fabric add-on for CC: Tweaked that lets computers read metadata from blocks, entities and players, and fire lasers or control entities through a neural interface.
What it does
The mod is a peripheral provider for CC: Tweaked on Minecraft 1.20.1. Its goal is to offer metadata peripherals for both vanilla Minecraft and mainstream mods. A scanner peripheral gathers metadata about blocks in an area and about the entities around it, and an inventory and ender chest inspector lets a program look at the contents of the current player's storage.
Plethora also adds a series of modules that a computer can use. A manipulator provides methods for interacting with the surroundings, a laser module fires lasers, and a kinetic augment adds remote access to muscle-like effects. A neural interface can be attached to the head of an animal or monster, and right-clicking an entity with a neural controller lets the player interact with it. Modules are inserted into wrapped peripherals to drive them from a built-in computer.
The mod requires CC: Tweaked, Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Trinkets. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.19.3, 1.19.4 and 1.20.1, and the latest build is 1.20.1-1.13.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2025-12-24. The code is under the MIT License, and the mod is not open source; SwitchCraft's own license applies to the custom parts, so check it before use.
