Sable Cleanup Tools

(new demo vid coming soon)

An operator toolkit for finding, inspecting, and cleaning up Sable sub-levels — the physics contraptions behind Create: Aeronautics and other Sable-based content.

Airships, rovers, and other contraptions pile up over a server's lifetime: abandoned builds, runaways, half-finished projects drifting in chunks nobody's loaded in weeks. Sable Cleanup Tools gives operators one GUI to see every sub-level in the dimension — including ones sitting in unloaded chunks — and act on them safely.

Works with any Sable-based contraption, not just Create: Aeronautics. It only talks to Sable's own API.

✨ New in 0.3.0

• Multi-select + bulk actions — checkboxes on every row (Ctrl+A selects all); delete, freeze, or boot a whole batch at once.
• Schematic browser — browse, preview, and manage the schematics you've exported, right in the GUI.
• Sort & search — sort by Age, Name, Last Active, Size, orve by name.- Teleport variants — jump to a contraption's plot or it Move Here to bring the sub-level to you.
• Save-schematic bearing warning — warns before exporting a contraption with an active bearing.

What it does

Run /sablecleanup (operator / permission level 2), or bind a key under Controls → Sable Cleanup Tools, to open the panel:

• A scrollable list of every sub-level in the current dimension — id, name, and a lifetime / created-at counter. - At-a-glance moderation coloring: orange once a sub-level 7 days), red if it's also gone that long without moving,green if you've flagged it "ignore". - A live 3D diagram preview with drag-to-orbit and scroll-ion actually is before you touch it.
• Unloaded sub-levels show up too (marked (unloaded)). Clicking any action transparently force-loads its chunk just long enough to act, then lego back to sleep. ## Actions - Teleport — jump to the contraption (plot or current visu
• Delete — remove a sub-level. Refuses if something's still physically attached or an active Create contraption is inside, so you can't silently destroy those too.
• Freeze / Unfreeze — pin it in place with a real physics constraint that survives restarts.
• Boot / Un-boot — moderation lockdown: forces Freeze on ae / un-Freeze (and block-breaking inside) until un-booted, soanything a staff member is actively reviewing can't move or vanish out from under them.
• Rename — set the sub-level's display name.
• Save as schematic — export its blocks to a Create-compatible .nbt schematic (needs Create; everything else works without it).
• Disassemble — move the blocks back into the plain world he reverse of assembling a contraption. Guards againstdestroying attached contraptions or in-plot entities.
• Ignore flags — mark a sub-level as reviewed and fine to

Requirements

• Minecraft 1.21.1, NeoForge 21.1.228+
• Sable 1.2.2+ (and whatever Sable itself needs — Create, Veil)

Installation

Drop the jar in your mods folder alongside Sable. No config needed beyond two client-side list-coloring thresholds (LONG_LIFE_DAYS / NO_MOVEMENT_DAYS) in the generated config.

Known limitations

• Single-dimension — lists the dimension the command was r
• Shafts / cogwheels render with a cosmetic doubled look in the diagram (a rotated copy over the static model). Cosmetic only — it doesn't affect anything.
• With an Iris shaderpack active, the diagram may show some blocks as invisible. Switch to internal/vanilla shaders while using /sablecleanup as a workaround.
• Freeze is a soft physics-constraint pin, not a true engine-level pause (Sable has no per-body pause).
