Matter Control

Matter Control

Take control of the world's matter itself. Tear chunks out of the terrain, lift mountains of blocks, raise towers in real time, trap enemies inside solid rock, summon giant hands and hurl it all, with every movement driven by your mouse.

Nothing here is automatic: matter goes exactly where you aim, at the size you choose, the moment you want it.

✨ Features

- 🌍 Matter absorption: pull blocks from the world into your matter bar, with an adjustable radius
- 🖱️ Full mouse control: structures follow your crosshair in real time, and you adjust distance, size and rotation with the scroll wheel
- 🏗️ Real-time construction: towers, walls, platforms, bridges, stairs, pillars and spheres grow while you hold the button
- ⛓️ Prisons: matter rises from the ground and encases your enemy, then you can lift, crush or throw the prison with them inside
- ✋ Giant matter hands: open and close the fingers, grab mobs and structures, crush and throw
- ☄️ Controllable projectiles: rocks orbit around you, you aim, launch and steer them mid-flight, or let them home in on targets
- 💎 Compaction: compress matter into denser and denser spheres and solidify it into ultra-resistant blocks
- 💥 Disintegration: turn structures into particle clouds or scatter the pieces, then rebuild everything
- ✂️ Split, merge and reshape: turn a sphere into a wall, a wall into a tower and more
- 🎆 Visual effects: fragments with the real block textures, shockwaves on impact and camera shake
- 🌐 Multiplayer ready: everything runs on the server and other players see it all happen
- ⚡ Optimized: thousands of blocks per structure, with interior culling and distance-based LOD

🎮 Modes (switch with C)

- Manipulate: click the terrain to rip out a chunk and control it freely
- Tower: grows layer by layer, square, round or cross shaped
- Wall: vertical, sloped, curved or horizontal
- Platform: area, a path or bridge that follows your aim, or a staircase
- Pillars: several pillars at once with adjustable spacing
- Sphere: a sphere that grows at your crosshair and follows the mouse
- Projectiles: spawns orbiting rocks to launch and steer
- Prison: traps the creature you click

⚙️ Configuration

The server config file, found in the serverconfig folder inside your world, lets you adjust:

- Maximum matter capacity and absorption speed
- Radius and reach
- Which blocks can be absorbed, with whitelist, blacklist and tag support
- How much matter each block is worth
- Structure, block and hand limits per player
- Costs and damage

The client config file controls the particle amount and LOD distance, which helps on weaker PCs.

📋 Requirements

- Minecraft 1.21.1
- NeoForge 21.1 (21.1.77 or newer recommended)
- Java 21
- Must be installed on both client and server

⚠️ Note

This mod is in beta. Expect some bugs, and structures can tear up a lot of terrain, so back up your world before playing.
