Hey guys-

So I'm pretty new to the community and I don't plan on going for any PBs, but I made a small tool you guys might like.

It's a mod that keeps live stats of your builds, as well as the world records. I just started so it needs work before I can share it on all versions of the game (right now its embedded in my hacked client) but I wanted some input from you guys. Is this sort of thing useful?

Here's a quick video:

If you know of any games that could use tools like this, post em, also if you have any requests, post em. You guys know the game better than me.

I'll post this to the mineplex forums too, but you guys will probably have better input lol

edit: also would it be cheating if it showed you the blocks for the build before the timer starts?

This is very interesting, but a problem that might occur is it isn't a verified mod on Mineplex so anyone could get banned for the use of this. Also, it would be considered cheating to add blocks before the timer since it allows for an advantage against other players, even if it is by slightly a second or so.

Very interesting plugin you created.

That's neat. But download link?

Mod looks really nice. Gonna be lit when it's finished. I'll actually know my pbs then ;P

Looks sick.

The mod (perhaps not the rest of your client) is fine on Mineplex; it doesn't affect gameplay. I would shy away from adding an inventory preview even though it's possible to memorize or derive the inventories anyways. Sounds like a really neat addition to the game, though! If you don't mind me asking, how does it identify the build? Can it distinguish between the 2 versions of "Intersection" or "Sticky fingers are the worst..."?

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll try to push a download soon, but I am busy with uni/personal stuff, so if I have the energy (that's a big if) I got you <3

@Kirby, good question lol- I'll get a mod's permission before doing anything like that then. The way it works is through reading the text packets, so as you can probably guess, it cannot distinguish between the two versions =P The mod works by waiting for Mineplex's game start message, at which point it begins to interpret all large orange titles as builds. So if mineplex ever changes their formatting, the whole mod kinda breaks rip. But it works surprisingly well.

However, this can be easily fixed by checking for the rose count on your inventory for intersection, and some math on sticky fingers (i would scan for a drop tile, and then see if the nearby matching tile is straight or not)

However the code for that would be messy and hopefully mineplex never does stuff like that again :/

Update: I have spent an hour or two trying to compile my mod and I can't get it to work at all.

I've been programming mods/tools for myself for years but I've never released anything and I have no clue how to compile it.

I have all the class files compiled but I don't actually know how to install the mod from there. If anyone knows anything pm me. I'll try to do some more research later.
