What About Block Swap?

I'm glad you asked! I made Reliable Replacer because of some of my personal frustrations with Block Swap. Here are
some reasons to consider switching!

Why Reliable Replacer?
  • Reliable Replacer is frequently updated and supports the latest versions, while as of the time of writing this, Block
    Swap is stuck on 1.20.1.
  • Live config reloading! Run /reload and see your changes instantly take place.
  • Reliable Replacer is fully server-side, so it's compatible with Vanilla clients!
  • Advanced filtering:
    • Filter swaps by biome, dimensions, placed feature, coordinates, or structure!
    • Toggle retrogen on or off per rule.
    • Toggle player placement replacing per rule.
  • Much more flexible configuration, supporting simple JSON configuration in user-defined folders and integrating with
    Cloth Config.
  • Per-rule toggleable persistence:
    • Decide if replacement blocks should inherit the properties of the old block.
  • Doesn't require any external libraries.

Migrating From Block Swap

Making the switch is easy! Reliable Replacer supports a legacy format designed to work exactly like Block
Swap's configuration.

When you first launch the game with Reliable Replacer installed, a swapper.json file will be automatically generated
in your config/reliable_replacer folder. This file uses a simple key-value pair format identical to Block Swap.

To migrate, simply copy the "swapper" block from your old configuration into this file:

{
  "swapper": {
    "oreganized:lead_door": "supplementaries:netherite_door",
    "farmersdelight:rope": "supplementaries:rope",
    "minecraft:dirt": "minecraft:stone",
    ...
  }
}

Note: Rules defined in swapper.json automatically inherit default settings (retrogen enabled, replace on player
placement, etc.). For more advanced control, use the standard rule format.

Features

A full feature list is available on
the Modded Minecraft Wiki.

For information and examples on how to use the mod, please also refer to
the wiki.

Quick-Start Example

Create a file called my_replacement.json, or whatever else you'd like, in config\reliable_replacer:

[
  {
    "inputs": [
      "minecraft:dirt"
    ],
    "output": "minecraft:diamond_block",
    "biomes": [
      "minecraft:plains"
    ],
    "min_y": "-30",
    "max_y": "64",
    "player_blocks": "true",
    "keep_nbt": "true"
  },
  {
    "inputs": [
      "minecraft:stone"
    ],
    "output": "minecraft:gold_ore"
  }
]
