Ptdye Plus
by Kikis
Ptdye Plus is a Forge utility mod made for the Create add-on, with a stonecutter GUI command and a key bind that opens Ponder for the block under the crosshair.
What it does
Ptdye Plus requires Create and is designed exclusively for it. It adds an openStonecutter command, so players reach the stonecutter's GUI directly and craft with less walking between screens. A key bind, set to B by default, opens the Ponder tutorial for whichever block the player is looking at, and a line added to the Jade tooltip shows which button opens Ponder. Jade and JourneyMap are optional and only extend these features when installed.
The mod was written for the Prepare Dye CPTD modpack and is primarily tested inside that pack, so behavior elsewhere may differ. Its code uses the KubeJS JavaScript framework for some features and bug fixes, which the CPTD team applied. Ptdye Plus runs on the client alone, so servers and other players do not need it. Files exist for 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 2.2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest Forge build. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Jade tooltip hint

KubeJS-based fixes
Some features and bug fixes are implemented with the KubeJS JavaScript framework.

Use cases
Prepare Dye pack play
Players of the Prepare Dye CPTD modpack use the command, key bind and tooltip line during crafting and building.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players of Create who use the Prepare Dye CPTD modpack and want quicker access to the stonecutter and to Ponder. Players on other modpacks should expect unexpected behavior, since the mod is primarily tested within CPTD.
How it compares
Stonecutter Memory is a server-side only Forge mod for 1.18.2 – 1.20.1 under the MIT License, so it is not a client mod. TooltipsReforgedDyed is a client-side only Forge mod for 1.20.1 under the MIT License and covers tooltips rather than the stonecutter command. QuarkPonders is a client-side only mod for Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it also concerns Ponder.
