Sable Photomancy

by Rew1nd

Sable Photomancy lets creators capture a Sable sub-level as a blueprint, then place a working copy of it elsewhere in the world, with its links and saved state carried across.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.21.1

What it does

The mod stores sub-level blueprints that include placed blocks, their block data, living entities and Create contraptions. When a structure is saved, the mod can scrub or reshape block and block entity data, and it can change, leave out or rebuild entities through custom logic. Systems that are managed outside the block grid can keep extra blueprint data alongside the copied structure.

When a blueprint is placed, the identifiers that point at the original objects are remapped to newly created sub-levels, so copied data stops referring to the source. Connections that hold a structure together, including Swivel Bearing links, Rope Winch lines, Drive By Wire links and Super Glue joints, come back in place when the structure is loaded again. A SubLevel management tool can locate lost sub-levels and teleport them back, including connected joints.

The mod runs on NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1 and is open source under the MIT License. Both the server and every player need it, and it depends on Sable, which must be installed as well. Compatibility mappers register only when their optional mod is loaded. Sable Encounters and TAOV Weapons require this mod.

What the author says

This blueprint system is built for high compatibility, not just saving blocks. It already supports saving and restoring Swivel Bearing connections, Rope Winch rope links, Drive By Wire connections, Create contraptions, and Super Glue, so complex Sable/Create builds can survive copy, export, and placement with their…
