About this Mod
🪄 Just Another Survival Debug Stick
A lightweight server-side Fabric mod that enables survival players to craft and use the Debug Stick with high customization.
📖 Overview
The Just Another Survival Debug Stick mod allows players in survival mode to craft and use the Debug Stick just like in Creative mode.
It brings back the full power of block state editing — now accessible without cheats or operator permissions.
This project is heavily inspired by Just_S's Survival Debug Stick (SDS) mod but rewritten from scratch to be simple and up-to-date with modern versions.
🔍 Showcase
By default, (when not configured) it works with every block and property. Blocks & properties can be easily customized with the mod's config system.
Showcase of chest properties editing:
Showcase of editing blacklisted waterlogged property and non-whitelisted black_bed block.
How to configure whitelist & blacklist is located below, in the «Configuration» section:
⚙️ Configuration
The mod allows you to configure whitelist and blacklist for both blocks and properties, as well as debug stick usage and swapping cooldown.
Config contains: config.json, whitelist.json and blacklist.json located in the jasds folder inside the default config folder.
Example config.json:
{
"propertySwapCooldown": 20, // cooldown for swapping between different properties
"useCooldown": 15, // cooldown for using debug stick on a block
"whitelistEnabled": false, // enables blocks & properties whitelist
"blacklistEnabled": false // enables blocks & properties blacklist
}
Example whitelist.json and blacklist.json:
{
/*
All block formats should look like registry:blockid. For example, the default Minecraft dirt block will be "minecraft:dirt"
Example non-empty blocks section:
"blocks": ["minecraft:oak_leaves", "minecraft:furnace"]
Property names you can get by clicking with the debug stick on a block. For example, the default Minecraft furnace lit property will be "lit"
Example non-empty properties section:
"properties": ["lit", "waterlogged"]
*/
"blocks": [],
"properties": []
}
