Vine Cork
by magicus
Vine Cork is a Fabric utility that stops a single vine block from growing, using shears on the vine.
What it does
Right-clicking a vine block while holding shears blocks that vine from spreading further. Only the vine that was clicked is affected, so the rest of a vine network keeps growing as usual. The behavior is similar to how shears already work on cave vines and weeping vines. Vines grow horizontally, which is why stopping one in place can be useful. To let a blocked vine grow again, break it and let the vine be replaced.
Blocked vines are stored in the world folder as one file per dimension, under data/vine-cork/corked vines.dat. Deleting those files resets every blocked vine in that dimension. Removing the mod causes no harm to existing vines, since they start growing again once it is gone. The mod is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and requires Fabric API. It is published for 26.1 – 26.3, with 1.0.0+26.3 as the latest Fabric file for 26.3.
