Vine Clipper

by 123FLO321

Vine Clipper lets a player stop vines from spreading by right-clicking them while holding shears, so clipped vines stay in place after they are cut back.

What it does

Clipping is done with shears: right-clicking a vine that is holding shears marks it as clipped, and from then on it no longer spreads to adjacent blocks. A clipped vine looks identical to an unclipped one, so the change is only visible in how it behaves. Clipped vines also receive random world ticks, which is what the mod uses to keep them from spreading.

The mod is a small quality-of-life addition aimed at builders and players who keep vine-covered structures tidy. It works with most vines, and other mods that extend VineBlock are generally supported. Some vines from other mods may be incompatible; the author asks for an issue to be opened when that happens, and the source code is available on GitHub under the MIT License.

Vine Clipper is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the files cover game versions 1.16.5 – 26.2 across 31 release versions. The mod is open source, and the code is under the MIT License. Installing it on a server is needed for the function to work correctly, so server and clients must both run it.

Key features

  1. Clip vines with shears

    Right-clicking a vine while holding shears stops it from spreading to neighbouring blocks.

  2. Clipped vines look unchanged

    Clipped vines keep the same appearance as ordinary vines, so the difference is only in growth.

  3. Works with most vines

    The clipping applies to vines from vanilla and to most vine blocks from other mods that extend VineBlock.

  4. Shears behave like vanilla

    Clipped vines can be sheared like other vanilla growing blocks, so no new tool is required.

Questions

Does Vine Clipper have to be installed on the server?

Yes. Server and clients must both run the mod for the clipping function to work correctly, so every player and the server need it installed.

Will Vine Clipper work with vines from other mods?

It works with most vines, including those from mods that extend VineBlock. Some mods may be incompatible, and the author asks for an issue to be submitted when that happens.

What the author says

Vine Clipper is a simple QOL mod allowing Vines to be clipped (sheared) like other vanilla growing blocks (e.g. Kelp). Vine spreading can be stopped by right clicking vines while holding shears. Clipped vines will no longer spread to adjacent blocks and visually looking identical. They no receive random world ticks…
