PonderingPlus StationAPI

by Telvarost

PonderingPlus StationAPI lets players sit on blocks by right-clicking them with a book, and it adds a way to write messages in bookshelves.

What it does

Right-clicking a normal block while holding a book makes the player sit on it. Sneaking gets the player back up. If the player logs out while seated, the log back in restores the seat, though sitting on a block can still fail to restore after a fall, which the install notes address. Sitting with a book can be turned off in the config provided by GlassConfigAPI.

The mod converts a bookshelf into a modded block type that accepts messages. A feather, black dye or ink sacs from the inventory are used to write text on a bookshelf by right-clicking it. Players who use libraries in their builds get a bookshelf that carries written text. The mod requires StationAPI, runs on client and server, and works in multiplayer when GlassConfigAPI version 3.0 or later is installed to sync configs. Mod Menu is optional.

Key features

  1. Sitting on blocks

    Right-clicking a normal block while holding a book makes the player sit down on it, a sit that can be exited by sneaking.

  2. Writing on bookshelves

    Right-clicking a bookshelf with a feather and black dye or ink sacs lets the player write a message on it.

  3. Optional sitting toggle

    Sitting with a book can be disabled through the config provided by GlassConfigAPI, which server owners can sync.

  4. Seat restoration

    Logging out while seated and logging back in restores the seat, with optional AnnoyanceFix-StationAPI or UniTweaksTelsAddons fixes for vehicle logout and login.

How it compares

Full comparison

Sit is a Babric mod for b1.7.3, released under a custom license and not open source, and it does the same kind of block sitting. Good Command Fixes is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so players can join without it, though it fixes commands rather than sitting. Midas Touch is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and Project Beta Expanded is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal.

What the author says

A b1.7.3 mod using StationAPI and babric (beta fabric) that was inspired by a desire to sit and read books and a love for libraries. * Mod works on Multiplayer with GlassConfigAPI version 3.0+ used to sync configs!
