AutoSwitch is a mod for Minecraft using the Fabric mod loader. It is designed to automatically change the player's tool to the correct one when it is being used.
All provided config entries are documented in-place by the preceding lines that begin with a #.
The default values of those entries are also provided there. The config files are reloaded upon being saved,
allowing for quick testing and modification.
All files may be found in the config folder.
This config controls AutoSwitch's behavior in various aspects outside of simple tool selection.
These options are available for in-game modification via the client commands, try with /autoswitch in-game.
These are config entries defined in the format of Target = List of ToolSelectors.
The list of ToolSelectors is comma-separated and ordered. Leave blank/empty to disable switching for that target.
In placed where an id (Identifier) is needed, all colons (:) must be replaced with an exclamation mark (!) for
targets, and may be done for ToolSelectors.
A target can be one of three things:
- a provided named target or target group, such as a
MaterialorEntityGroup, - a specific
Identifierof a block or entity, such asminecraft:stone, or - a
TagSelector.
All colons (:) must be replaced with an exclamation mark (!) for targets.
A ToolSelector has 2 parts: an ItemSelector, and a list of EnchantmentSelectors.
This two are separated by a semicolon (;).
The list of EnchantmentSelectors is optional. When excluded, no enchantments are required to select
the accompanying item. The list of EnchantmentSelectors is ampersand-separated (&).
Note: tools will perform a check if they are effective for the target. You can disable this behavior in the
features config via miningLevelCheck.
An ItemSelector is what matches an item in for selection. An ItemSelector may be one of three things:
- a provided named tool group, such as
pickaxeorany, - a specific
Identifierthat matches the toolsid, or - a
TagSelector.
An EnchantmentSelector allows for only items with matching enchantments to be selected. An EnchantmentSelector may be one of three things:
- a provided named tool group, such as
pickaxeorany, - a specific
Identifierthat matches the toolsid, or - a
TagSelector. SeetoolEnchantmentsStackin the features config for differing enchantment behavior.
TagSelectors rely on Minecraft's tags to function. While playing, these tags are provided by the server and are
and can vary by world. As such, these selectors are inherently unreliable and are not expected to work on vanilla servers,
and are therefor not provided in any default capacity by AutoSwitch.
A TagSelector has the form of type@tag_id. The available types are: block, entity, item, and enchantment.
The latter of which are only useful for ToolSelectors. The required type should be self explanatory.
The tag_id is the Identifier of the tag. For blocks, you can see this in the F3 menu when looking at one.
You may control these per-world via datapacks. See the Minecraft Wiki for more information.
It is the responsibility of mod authors to correctly add their additions to the conventional tags.
A couple of reasons:
- Allows for it to be differentiated from selectors matching a particular id, and
- Internally, Minecraft stores the game objects (eg. blocks) in a
Registry, which maps anIdentifierto the object. TheseIdentifiersare only guaranteed to be unique within theirRegistry.
To target normal stone with silk touch pickaxes:
minecraft!stone = pickaxe;minecraft!silk_touch or minecraft!stone = item@c:pickaxes;minecraft!silk_touch
To target all ores with fortune pickaxes:
block@c:ores = pickaxe;minecraft!fortune or block@c:ores = pickaxe;enchantment@fortune.
