Restate
by Smidul
Restate lets a player dye, bleach, strip and harvest placed blocks and tools through data-driven transformer components that other data packs can also use.
What it does
Right-clicking a placed colored block with dye changes its color, and a piece of paper bleaches it back to its original white clear color. Right-clicking a fence or wall with an axe or pickaxe strips its connections. Hoes gain a harvester function: right-clicking wheat, carrots, potatoes or beetroots harvests the crop and replants it automatically.
Restate is built on the block transformer component added in 26.3, and it adds custom transformer components for tools and related items. Because the changes live in a data pack, server owners can adjust them without a separate mod on each client. A data pack can also modify the same item, and Restate works alongside other data packs that do the same. Removing it takes a data pack run of restate:uninstall, which revokes the advancements it granted, after which the optional item can be removed.
Restate is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and as a data pack, for game version 26.3 only. Snapshot builds are published. The mod is open source under the MIT License.
