Stress Ball - Auto-Attack Baubles
This mod adds two new baubles inspired by Terraria: the Stress Ball and its upgraded version, the Pressure Ball. Both items require the Baubles mod as a dependency and are designed for Minecraft 1.12.2.
Features
Stress Ball
- Automatically performs a left-click attack every 0.5 seconds when the player stands still and has no GUI open (e.g., inventory, chests, crafting tables).
- Attack respects the weapon's attack speed: if the weapon's cooldown is longer than 0.5 seconds, attacks occur at the weapon's natural rate; if shorter, a 0.5‑second minimum interval prevents exceeding the invincibility frame limit.
- Attack range is fixed at 3 blocks (same as default player reach).
- Configurable item blacklist: if the player holds a blacklisted item in the main hand, no automatic attacks occur.
Pressure Ball
- An upgraded version of the Stress Ball.
- Also attacks automatically when standing still, but without any GUI restriction and includes a brief cooldown after moving.
- In addition to the standard left-click attack, it can be configured to trigger right‑click actions for specific items (e.g., Tinkers' Construct shurikens, TConEvo spectres, PlusTIC laser guns).
- Features a configurable entity blacklist (e.g., item frames, paintings, armor stands) to prevent accidental attacks.
- Inherits the same attack range, cooldown mechanics, and item blacklist as the Stress Ball.
