Please make Boots that are 'immune' to Conveyor Belts

Post by Bushdoctor »

Sure, we all enjoy a nice ride on a conveyor belt every now and then,
but it drives me nuts when I'm trying to build stuff and I keep stepping on those things.

So, PLEASE someone mod some boots that make the player 'immune' to conveyor belts.
I honestly feel this should have been included in the vanilla game.

Thank you.

PS. I would suggest that those boots have to be inserted into an armor, and take up 1x1 space.

It's been suggested before, but it's not really viable. I believe the only ways to handle it are to either teleport the player constantly (would be ugly and laggy), or to turn off the belt

There was a jetpack mod for 0.12 that did something like what you are after; if memory serves, it was a vehicle that the player got in to, and the vehicle was basically an aircraft that looks like the player so it gives the effect of player levitating (and thus not affected by belts).
Better forum search for modders: Enclose your search term in quotes, eg. "font_color" or "custom-input" - it prevents the forum search from splitting on hypens and underscores, resulting in much more accurate results.

Gotcha. I had no idea this would be that problematic. It sounds so simple. :)

Thanks for the suggestions!
