Conquest Reforged Paintbrush

Conquest Reforged Paintbrush adds a creative paintbrush that allows the user to "copy" and "paste" the material of a block onto another block while maintaining it's variant and properties. It also adds a paintknife which allows the user to change the layer properties of a targeted block. Usage

Usage

pb or paintbrush to spawn a paintbrush tool in the inventory.

Primary click:

• With a paintbrush to copy the targeted block's material to the paintbrush.
• With a paintknife will decrease the layer of a targeted block if it has layer properties.

Secondary click:

• With a paintbrush to paint the selected material onto the targeted block. This attempts to find the same block variant in a material's conquest family (see Configuration).
• With a paintknife will increase the layer of a targeted block if it has layer properties.

Hold "Left Ctrl":

• With a paintbrush while selecting a material to select in strict mode. All painted blocks will be an exact copy.
• With a paintknife will change layers for a block adjacent to the blockface targeted.

Crouching will show the material that is currently selected on a paintbrush.

Configuration

The algorithm used while painting with the secondary click uses a token matching mechanic. A given paint block and its target are tokenized using their translation key : Brown Oven Tiles Corner Slab becomes Corner and Slab.

Given Conquest naming structure, relevant tokens are identified by declaring them in the tokens.json file. This allows to remove the discriminant during paint and target matching : Brown Oven Tiles Corner Slab (Cobble, Slab) = Deepslate Tiles Corner Slab (Cobble, Slab)

Some blocks may contain a matching token in their names : Red Brown Vertical Wood Plank Vertical Slab will resolve as Vertical, Vertical and Slab. The reserved_names section of the json file exists to manage this cases. Adding Red Brown Vertical Wood Plank to this section will resolve as Vertical and Slab.

The tokens.json file supports expansion using ( ), any characters in parenthesis will resolve into two distinct tokens or reserved name : board(s) expands into board and boards

Debug commands

• pb debug or paintbrush debug toggles the logging of information during pattern matching :

[21:41:12] [Render thread/INFO] (Minecraft) [System] [CHAT] Debug output enabled
[21:41:17] [Render thread/INFO] (paintbrush) Looking for match of "Smooth Inscribed Black Painted Block Vertical Slab" [[vertical, slab]] in paint family : 
[21:41:17] [Render thread/INFO] (paintbrush) - "Light Limestone Brick" [[]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Small Arch" [[small, arch]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Small Arch Half" [[small, arch, half]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Two Meter Arch" [[two, meter, arch]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Arrowslit" [[arrowslit]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Vertical Slab" [[vertical, slab]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Vertical Corner" [[vertical, corner]]
- "Light Limestone Brick Vertical Quarter" [[vertical, quarter]]
...

• pb debug showTokens or paintbrush debug showTokens logs the current loaded tokens and reserved names in the console.
