What Autoswitch Does
Autoswitch (AS) reads the player's hotbar, and finds the best tool for the job currently available based on the config files (ie. you hit a stone block with your fist, it will switch to a pickaxe). These tools have some conditions that need to be satisfied:
Have more than 3 durability remaining configurable
Have the tool on your hotbar
Be capable of mining the block (a naive fallback is in place for mining levels configurable)
It is aware of tool enchantments
AutoSwitch is fully configurable. The config files detail their specifics at their top, and each option is documented within the file. A hotkey is available to quickly toggle switching on or off, along with a toggle command.
Blocks
AS checks the block's Material*, or the specific block's id if it is present in the config file, and will evaluate the tools based on the configuration.
*Note
See the Minecraft Wiki for details. The names used in the config files are the same as the names Fabric uses, which differ from the names on the wiki. Each material is documented within the config file.
Entities
AS checks the entities group*, or the specific id if it is present in the config file, and will evaluate the tools based on the configuration. Bases weapon choices in part on the amount of damage the tool can do.
*Note
See Minecraft Wiki for details on entity groups. Group names are not exactly the same between the wiki and what Fabric uses.
Other
If a mod's tools do not work automatically, tell the mod author of that mod to add their tools to the proper FabricToolTags. Some mods may require other changes to function. Autoswitch provides an API by which mod authors can create their own tool groups similar to the provided pickaxe, axe, etc.-
I am having trouble switching to a netherite_pickaxe. It won't switch at all to the chosen item... Help?
Edit; I was on an old version. :joy:
I could use some help. The mod works but when I'm mining in my cobblestone generator and the pickaxe is about to break it switches to random things in my Hotbar and doesn't use the pickaxe until it fully breaks then switch to my new one in my inventory. What should I do
In reply to viligance99:
The option tryPreserveDamagedTools, which is enabled by default, will switch away from near-breaking damaged tools. AS does not move items around in your inventory, so if you have another mod that is meant to replace tools when they break you'll likely want to disable tryPreserveDamagedTools.
i need the link to the fabric-command-api v1 mod i cant find it on curseforge
In reply to spankyboi_:
Install or update Fabric API.
How do I make it so it doesnt switch to sword when hitting a player (or mob idk)
In reply to nitrobyte:
In autoswitchAttackAction.cfg, add "minecraft!player = " on a new line, without quotes.
Hello, everyone,
Can someone please explain the config to me what setting does which?
im guessing if i use a shovel on wood and i have an axe it switches to axe?
In reply to Outcast1001__:
If the axe is in the hotbar, and has more than 3 durability (configurable) left, yes.
1.17.1??
In reply to real_pro_poop:
It already works on 1.17.1
first thanks for the plugin GJ just perfect!
I read the wiki since hours, tested everything but i cant get it running "select any silk touch tool on glowstone" :/
at the moment i added in all 3 cfg files
@DefaultValue("any;minecraft-silk_touch")
ToolHandler[] glowstone();
edit: solved, added glowstone = any;minecraft:silk_touch to the AutoSwitchAttackAction.cfg
It conflicts with https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/modmenu
In reply to beedgehog:
Which versions of AS and modmenu?
What is the error?
I have tested with MM 2.0.2, and AS 3.3.
In reply to Deximus_Maximus:
AS 3.3 must be so good that it's invisible! Lmfao
I updated MM and then it said that MM conflicts with Better Mod Button (I heard that they implemented it in). I got rid of it and Minecraft loaded up. Now it says I have 93 mods in the bottom even though I've only got around 35 mods. When I try to load up a world or a server, it just sits there on the loading screen. I also updated Fabric.
Btw, I'm on 1.16.5 because I'm waiting for Sodium to update
In reply to beedgehog:
The last time AS updated it's mod menu integration was 3.0.0-alpha.10. Any 3.x of AS should work with the latest mod menu.
I cannot help you with world loading as AS doesn't have anything to do with that. You may find help in the Fabric Discord server or on the fabric subredit.
Mods can ship other mods. AS shows as 3 mods in MM - autoswitch, autoswitch api, and owner (the config library). MM also shows Minecraft and java as mods.
AS 3.3 isn't on CF yet as it is still in alpha for testing as it changes how weapons are handled.
FORGE PLS
