Plethora Current build status

Plethora is a ComputerCraft/CC:Tweaked peripheral provider for Minecraft 1.8.9+. It aims to provide both metadata and peripherals for vanilla Minecraft and most mainstream mods.

Plethora also adds a series of "modules" to the game. These modules can be used by the player with varying success. They really come in to their element when put in a manipulator, providing a series of methods which allow interacting with your environment. This includes:

  • Introspection: investigating the current player's inventory (and ender chest)
  • Scanner: scans blocks in an area, gathering metadata about them.
  • Sensor: scans entities in an area. Like the scanner this allows getting metadata.
  • Frickin' laser beam. It fires lasers.
  • Chat recorder: allows listening to chat messages, capturing and sending messages as the owning player.
  • Kinetic augment: allows remote access to your muscles, making them even stronger than before.

If you've ever wanted to embed a computer in your skull then today is your lucky day. Plethora provides a neural interface which can be attached to your head, or some unsuspecting animal or monster. Right clicking the entity with a neural controller allows you to interact with it. You can insert modules (which will be wrapped as peripherals) and manipulate them with the built-in computer. Building a cyborg army has never been so easy.

You can also add a kinetic augment to the neural interface. This allows controlling the host entity in various ways.

Requirements

Documentation

There is pretty comprehensive documentation on the Plethora website. This contains tutorials, explanations of several fundamental concepts and thoroughly explained examples.

You can also create a HTML dump of all methods by running the command /plethora dump out.html. When run in a single player world this will save a file in the active directory (normally .minecraft or your modpack's folder). This documentation is also available online.

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks squid with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!
