Needed both in the game and on the server
This mod adds a few handy convenience tools to the game:
- Matchbox: can light candles and campfires but won't set fire to anything else (safer for worlds with fireTick on)
- Hacksaw: can detach adjacent fences and glass panes (and walls, as of 0.3.0) from each other with a simple right click
- Wood Glue: turns stripped logs back into regular logs!
- Mesh: a block that items can pass through but other entities can't. Solid to items as well when powered.
- Altimeter (new in 0.4.0): shows your height in the world! Can show a more precise readout with [use].
