Telepistons

This tiny mod adds the telescopic piston arm animation seen in Bedrock Edition to Java, as well as the option for a squishier alternative animation and particle emission.

It's also compatible with the (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/g4mespeed) for smoother piston animations over all.

This mod requires the (https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api) to run!

Included are a few add-on Resource Packs which offer: - Sticky Piston sides - Squishing Bellows - Scissors/Springs

(all of these support PBR)

Quick guide for Resource Pack developers:

• Model the piston arm around the vanilla piston_head models and put those in your pack as normal
• Split those models such that everything you want to not squish and to move at regular speed is in the piston_head_short models, and the arm parts are in a piston_arm model in the assets/telepistons/models/block/ directory
• Add the following to your piston_arm.json:
• ```
• "telepistons": {
• "squish":"false",
• "particles":"4",
• "squishedScale": [ 1, 1, 0 ]
• }
• ```
• "squish" and "particles" determine whether the arm model gets squished and whether pistons emit steam particles respectively
• "squishedScale" determines the scale of the arm model once fully squished, i.e. the piston has fully retracted. Z points forward, so a vector of will squish the arm just in that direction, while a vector of will also make it get twice as wide and tall as it is squished.
