Sender's Return Policy

Description

Ever wondered why a bare hand can deflect a Ghast fireball? With Sender’s Return Policy, you decide which items or projectiles can redirect incoming attacks! The mod comes ready to play with default settings that make sense! Minecraft defines redirect-able projectiles as the Ghast fireball, Breeze Wind Charge, and Wind Charge.

Features:

• By default, only melee attacks with these items in the main hand will reflect redirect-able projectiles: Iron Sword, Golden Sword, Diamond Sword, Netherite Sword, Iron Shovel, Golden Shovel, Diamond Shovel, and Netherite Shovel
• By default, only the following projectile types will reflect redirect-able projectiles: Arrows, Spectral Arrows, Wind Charges, Breeze Wind Charges, and Tridents
• In-game configuration is available via Mod Menu if installed

Config:

These options can be changed:

• Whether or not to use datapack tags to define items/projectiles that redirect
• Whether or not to use configured list options to define items/projectiles that redirect
• Whether or not to allow any melee attack to redirect as a fallback
• Whether or not to allow any projectile to redirect another projectile as a fallback
• The item IDs for which items can redirect projectiles
• The projectile IDs for which items can redirect projectiles

Default .minecraft/config/sendersreturnpolicy.json:

{
  "useTags": true,
  "useConfigLists": true,
  "fallbackAllowAnyItemToRedirect": false,
  "fallbackAllowAnyProjectileToRedirect": false,
  "redirectingItemIds": [
    "minecraft:iron_sword",
    "minecraft:golden_sword",
    "minecraft:diamond_sword",
    "minecraft:netherite_sword",
    "minecraft:iron_shovel",
    "minecraft:golden_shovel",
    "minecraft:diamond_shovel",
    "minecraft:netherite_shovel"
  ],
  "redirectingProjectileIds": [
    "minecraft:arrow",
    "minecraft:spectral_arrow",
    "minecraft:wind_charge",
    "minecraft:breeze_wind_charge",
    "minecraft:trident"
  ]
}

You can also use a datapack to define which main-hand items and projectiles can redirect. Click here to learn how to create a data pack if you don't know how.

Projectile Entities that can redirect should be added to a data/sendersreturnpolicy/tags/entity_type/redirects_projectiles.json file.

Example redirects_projectiles.json:

{
  "values": [
      "minecraft:arrow",
      "minecraft:spectral_arrow"
  ]
}

Items that can redirect when held in the main hand should be added to a data/sendersreturnpolicy/tags/item/redirects_projectiles_when_in_main_hand.json file.

Example redirects_projectiles_when_in_main_hand.json:

{
  "values": [
      "minecraft:iron_sword",
      "minecraft:iron_shovel"
  ]
}
