We'd like to thank everyone whos downloaded Repurpose for their interest in the mod! This was our freshman effort in mod making, and it was kind of a catch-all for the ideas we had floating around of various things we wanted to see in game that weren't already there or felt like they needed an easier but balanced way to obtain. We've put more focus into our other mods, Prefab and From The Depths, and have decided to backburner Repurpose for the foreseeable future. If you have a sudden renewed burning interest in Repurpose, feel free to speak up, we'll check back from time to time. Otherwise, please enjoy our remaining mods under active development and update!

We've also created a new discord server for our suite of mods, so feel free to drop in and discuss the mods, request features, and share some of the cool things you've done with them! https://discord.gg/qpkPnfays5

Description

This mod provides a number of different ways to enhance the vanilla experience of Minecraft and provide easier or alternative ways to obtaining materials or blocks. This is to allow you to focus on what you really want to do, BUILD!

Items:

Bed Compass:

Now where did I put that bed?

When you use this item, it will tell you where your bed is in relation to your current position. This only works in the overworld and if you have slept in a bed.

Note: It will still tell you your last bed location even if your bed was destroyed or is no longer accessible.

Bag of Holding

This item does a lot, here's what it can do:

Right-click when in off-hand and not pointed to any block to open the inventory of the bag.
Shows the currently selected item when placed in the off hand and what is the current slot number.
Right-click when in off-hand and pointed at a block within range to place the currently selected item (if it can be placed in the world).
Use Alt + X, Alt + Z to change the currently selected item.
1. These keybinds can be changed in the normal keybind menu.
Sneak and right-click when the bag is in your off-hand to open/close the bag.
When the bag is open it will automatically harvest block/monster drops and place it in the bag instead of your normal inventory!

Crates and Bunches of Foodstuffs

Bunches and crates are a way to store large amounts of foodstuffs.

There are currently 4 varieties of storage.

Eggs
Carrots
Potatoes
Beetroots

The first tier is a "bunch" or "clutch" (for eggs) of the associated food. This is created by placing 8 of the food in a circle in a crafting table.

Of course there are reversal recipes for all of this. For pictures of the reversal recipes, check out the images tab.

Pictures of Bunches/Clutches recipes

The second tier is a "Crate" or "Carton"(for eggs) of the associated food. You typically create these by surrounding an empty crate with a bunch/clutch. Eggs are unique here since you want to put some paper between the egg bunches so they don't break!

Flat bedrock generation - 1.12.2 only

The bedrock in the overworld will be flat when this functionality is turned on. This way you can dig really far down and don't have to jump around too much to get around.

Example (Glowstone added for light):

Home command

By typing /home into chat you will be transported to the last bed you slept in when you are in the overworld.

If you are not in the overworld (such as the Nether or the End or some other Mod Dimension, you

will be transported to where you entered the dimension.

Mobile Light - 1.12.2 only

When you have a block which emits light (like a torch) in one of your hands, it will light up the area around you.

This is a client-side only change so it won't affect how monsters spawn and a server admin can turn this off.

Enchantments

Step Assist

For when you have that extra spring in your step.

This is NOT the auto-jump feature in Minecraft. This enchantment (which has 3 different levels) allows you to move up a block automatically like a horse does.

Level 1: Move up blocks up to 1 block high.

Level 2: Move up blocks up to 1.5 blocks high (fences/walls).

Level 3: Move up blocks up to 2. blocks high.
