Cycle Limit (cycle_limit)

Makes switching between inventory slots take time.

About

Cycle Limit only depends on modlib. Code by Lars Mueller aka LMD or appguru(eu) and licensed under the MIT license.

Part of the Limit Series: item_limit, place_limit and cycle_limit

Features

• When switching between inventory slots, the item you are switching to will be "hidden"
• A bar appears showing you the time left, and after it's over (or if you switch again) the hidden items reappear
• During switching you can only use your hand
• Hidden items are not lost if the server crashes
• cycle_limit priv allows evasion
• Alternative mode works by granting/removing interact
  • To prevent players from having interact, revoke both interact and interact_mods

Known issues:

• The item is temporarily removed from the inventory
  • Can't be circumvented because else get_wield_item would return item that is being switched to
  • Accordingly, it can't be seen
