Percy's Comfort Kit

Note: To streamline the features of this datapack, I’m beginning the process of phasing out the craftable chair item. While the chair item and its functionality will remain supported for now, it can no longer be obtained. Any chair item you still have in your world will continue to work. Support for the chair item will be dropped completely in a later version, after which you will no longer be able to use it. All functionality of the chair item will be moved elsewhere. Continue reading to find out more. Feedback is always welcome!

New:

• A dropped Carpet can now be turned into a chair anywhere, not limited to in stairs.
  • To make a chair that's not in a stair, press Sneak while near a dropped Carpet.
  • As before, the dropped Carpet needs to be dropped by an entity to make it a chair. This prevents the creation of accidental chairs.
  • Dropped Carpets remain unchanged when dropped on a stair. There is no need to press Sneak to create a chair that's on a stair.

Removed:

• All custom crafting recipes for chair items.
• All advancements for discovering the chair item recipes.

Changes:

• Updated to Minecraft 26.2.
• Chairs will now only visually rotate when created from an item with a custom item model using the item_model component. (Functionally they rotate the same as before.)
• Any chair created while not in a stair block can be moved up and down by pressing sneak and interacting with it.

Known issue:

• Chairs created by dropping the chair item are backwards. This will not be fixed since they are being phased out. Workaround: Interacting with a chair item while holding it in your hand will place the chair properly.

Changes:

• Chairs are now more pixel-accurate.
• Players in adventure mode can no longer create chairs by right-clicking a chair item in their hand, they can still drop carpets and chair items to create chairs.
• Chairs created by right-clicking the chair item in the inventory are now more customisable.
• Chairs can now face different directions under certain circumstances.
• Items now behave slightly closer to vanilla items.
• Removed lore from chair items. Note that chairs crafted in a previous version will still have the lore.
• Updated to Minecraft 26.1
• Performance improvements.

Pixel accurate chairs

• Height of chairs and hitboxes are slightly adjusted to be pixel accurate.
• The player now sits 0.0625 (a pixel) higher, making them sit more accurately on the chair or carpet.

More customisable chairs

Chairs created by right-clicking when holding the chair item in your hand now act a little different from chairs created from dropped items.

• They will visually face in the cardinal direction you're facing,
• Creating a chair while holding sneak will not longer sit the player down on the chair automatically,
• Pressing sneak while attacking these chairs will make them move down.
• Pressing sneak while interacting with these chairs will make them move up.
• They need a supported block directly below or within 1 block below them. (For chairs created from items this is only directly below.)

Note: These changes were made to encourage the use of custom models. Percy's Comfort Kit has always supported custom models (using Percy's Sewing Kit), which is now more flexible. Keep in mind that the player, when sitting down, is aligned to fit the model of a carpet. Custom models, like a custom chair, should have their sit surfaces aligned to the ground.

Facing Direction

• Chairs created from dropped items are now rotated to face the cardinal direction closest to the player.
• Chairs created inside stairs now face the direction of the stair they're in. This takes priority over facing the player.

Note: These two changes are only technical and not visual. Some mods snap the player body in the facing direction of the entity they're riding. In vanilla Minecraft these changes shouldn't have any effect visually.

Fixes:

• Fixed low impact errors.

New:

• Recipes are now discoverable.

Changes:

• Updated to Minecraft 1.21.11.

Changes:

• Getting up from a chair that's on a fence, fence gate, or wall now teleports the player half a block up. This way they end up on top of the block, rather than inside it.

Fixes:

• Triggering PCKSit while holding a chair item in your hand placed the chair off the grid.

Changes:

• While holding the new chair item introduced in last version in their hand, the player can now interact (right-click by default) to make a chair where they stand and immediately sit on it.
  • Because the Chair items crafted in the previous version don't have the necessary data to support right-click detection, they will automatically be converted once they've been thrown on the ground.
• Chairs now play the wool place sound when placed, and the wool break sound when broken.
• Lore of the Chair item has been changed to "Drop () to place"

New:

• Added crafting recipes for a special Chair item.
  • The chair is crafted using any carpet and a stick. This is a shapeless crafting recipe and yields a chair that looks like the carpet that was used to craft it.
  • The chair, when dropped, creates a chair entity where it lands that the player can sit on. It must have a supporting block underneath.
  • The chair must be dropped by an entity, like the player, to turn into a chair entity.

Changes:

• Updated to Minecraft 1.21.9.
• All dropped carpets must now be dropped by an entity to turn into a chair entity.
• The PCKSit trigger no longer aligns the player to the block grid horizontally.
• You can now sit on fences, fence gates, and walls. Sitting on any of these aligns the player to the top of the block, rather than the 1.5 high collision box.

Removed:

• Dropping a carpet on the ground where the player sits using the PCKSit trigger no longer creates a persistent chair. To get a persistent chair, use the new chair item.
• Removed the custom dismount message.

Changes:

• Players can no longer break the seats when in adventure mode.

Changes:

• Feedback messages for the PCKSit trigger have been moved from the action bar to the chat
