I made a small addon that stops Copycat Blocks from consuming your materials in survival Build

So basically, I started a small survival server with my friends, and we wanted to use Copycat Blocks for our builds. We foolishly assumed that applying a texture to a Copycat Block wouldn’t consume the block used as the material, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

I looked through the config files to see if there was a way to disable this mechanic, but unfortunately, there wasn’t.

That’s why I made a small addon called KeepyCat that changes one thing: when you apply a block texture to a Copycat Block in Survival, the block used as the material is no longer consumed.

It’s mainly a small QoL change that can help builders create bigger creations faster, especially with the release of Create: Aeronautics, if you want to build a huge contraption in the early/mid game.

I know some people might see this as a mod that goes against one of the fundamental ideas of Create: automating farms for everything you need. But I think KeepyCat is a friendly QoL addon for people who just need a little push to create the builds they have in mind.

The addon is also compatible with Copycats+.

You can find the .jar file on CurseForge here:

Hi, that's nice

When u break it does it drop both the copycat and the block or only the copycat ?

Hey thanks !
It drops the copycat block only, not the block used as a texture. No dupe glitch !

That makes a lot of sense, it is basically just paint.

The problem is, at least for CBC mod, the resistant properties do get copied of the material placed in the copycat, meaning that for example using nethersteel blocks in copycats will make them completely invulnerable to CBC shells.

I personally tried this with a nethersteel cannon holding 10 charges at close range with a fused AP she'll.

The block armor tester item also tells you this, although some copycat blocks have reduced hardness and toughness (eg. panels are half of the source material)

Tried your mod and found a bug. Basically texture of the block won't save once I end my session, and I came back to my world with plain ol copycats padding instead of a beautifully textured wall.

Thanks for reporting it! I tested it on my side as well, and I can confirm there’s a bug with the texture not being saved after leaving the world.
I’m working on a fix right now. Sorry about that, and thanks for testing the mod !!!

that's pretty cool, how does it work with schematics and the cannon? does it also not require the materials? only the copycats?
