pressure drop
A [ server-side / host-only ] mod that adds configurable timed pressure plates (Abandoned Aqueduct) and a /drop (/drop <itemnamenospaces> [@]) chat command.
why?
I wanted to make activating the pressure plates more accessible (no more waiting for friends / pushing pots).
sometimes I [ take the wrong item / want to help others catch up ].
balance
probably reduces some pressure
- how long a pressure plate stays pressed can be configured as you see fit
| value |
behaviour |
| 0 |
disable (vanilla) |
| (any negative value) |
pressure plates stay down forever once pressed |
| (any positive value) |
pressure plates stay down for the specified number of seconds |
strategic! a typing challenge!
- sacrifice more time than at a Scrapper to reduce the risk of a Printer taking the wrong item
- more opportunities to use the Recycler (recyclable tiers configurable)
- leave items for your allies:
- to help distribute the wealth
- to help them win against the Teleporter boss (you died)
- can remove items you are not having fun with
- can spread void items between players
configurable
/reload can be used to apply changes made to the configuration file without needing to restart the game (must be hosting a run to use).
- how long a pressure plate stays pressed can be configured as you see fit
- the drop command can be disabled
- the ability to send items to the Teleporter can be disabled
- the ability for dead players to drop items can be disabled
- the ability to drop void items can be enabled
- which item tiers should be recyclable when dropped can be configured as you see fit (default: only white and green)
issues
I'm not quite sure I've successfully designed it such that the mod is only active as host.

- DropItem by Thrayonlosa — similar
/drop functionality, inspired this implementation
- can drop equipment
- can drop from another player's inventory
- only drops around the executing player (must be alive)
- not configurable (e.g. max drop stack size, recyclability)
- drops [ consumed / broken ] items
- drops all shoot in same direction — scatters messily once landed
- drop direction is fixed (rather than using aim direction)
end
- a tip:
/d . can be used to drop the newest item type in your inventory — experiment!
